we must have been better than it looked as I cant recall us havibng so many shots at goal. Would these include hitting defenders and cleared or actually into the keepers arms or into the crowd i wonder

i think you are right that RTasiak is clinical. He is very much a in the box player,

Just an observation as people were comparing DMG league tally and not his cup goals as well, therefore for fair comparisons both should be shown in the same way

you have made an art of using stats and then manipulating them. Your post reads as he scored 8 in 12 games wheras you should add to that his 9 sub appearances. As for shots on taget it is 22 and 19 off and not 27 on target.That of course increases his rate of success on target.

thanks Arizona. i looked on Soccerbase and they dont do the shots thing.They did have rasiak only scoring 8 in the league though!!

Can you put up the same facts re Saga BWP etc so we can see their stats or give me where you get them and Ill do it

If we have to keep him then fine, he should play. If we can get rid of him all the better IMO.I dont see him a a grafter or team player.Many think the same of DMG, it is just another divisive arguement. Whyhe is being compared to DMG and not Saga or Bwp i dont know.

IYO. not in mine.Thats football

So DMG (I dont know why the 2 are being compared) had just under 3 attempts per game and Rasiak had less than 2. Rasiak obviously more prolific, I wonderwhat his stats were when he was 21. Rasiak is a depreciating asset DMG will become worth more as time goes on.It is a balance to work out whether DMG's experience last season will help this.Rasiak is getting older and definately does not want to play for us in this league.I doubt he is worth the money , but IMO of course.

A change of scenery may do him good.I myself think that he was earning too much when here and we cant afford him now in L1

that was 3seasons ago, hes no spring chicken, but to me its not about his goalscoring it is a case of the club working to its budget.When we have the takeover and the new owner stats to show real intent my concerns will be allayed but until the some will be very disappointed if they think we are going into a new golden age.

In theory, or guessing. With us supplying the ammo????

Really? I will accept that MM subsidised Leicester but I thought Leeds got rid of all their high earners.

Robbie I havent seen much meat to the Pinnacle plan but I thought it was generally accepted that we have to stand on our own 2 feet. i doubt that there will be a pot of gold.Id love to be wrong as i want to see a successful team again

If he stays he will have to, to justify his high wages.I doubt there has been a club that has played in L1 football that that has a fanbase that believes they can afford players on high wages...until us of course

How many did Rasiak score last season? The problem with so many on here is that they dont know what a budget means. No wonder we as a nation is so heavily burdened with debt.

i suggest that if he stays it is because nobody else will pay his contract, nothing more than that

well he was terribly unlucky with a shot that crashed back off the crossbar at the Northam end.

Oh s###. There is another big lump to go back on the wage bill. I doubt that is what the club needs at present.Nobody will come in for him until the last moment and so we will have to carry his wages for a couple of months.

Oh that is different then. NSS post was this morning and so thought they had just got back today.

I was supportive yes. If by saying you were devoting your weekend (the MOST important time at present) to sorting the club out but then saying you were playing golf is not concentrating on the matter.All IMHO, he is more than welcome to play golf and it is probably a fantastic cause but the two statements dont go hand in hand do they?

I never had any doubt you wished for that anyway.

Sorry to be pedant but dedicating his weekend to sorting out the football club and also playing in a charity event does not seem to be the same thing in my book.

Surely we have to be awarded the WC to have these things done.Have I missed that the decision has been made?

I still think that the deal will go through, as the PL want money bags owners. I would expect they do not like the odea of Real Madrid having the world star players and so devaluing our league. The only nagging doubt i have about it is , if they are going to be richer than Man City etc why are they about to sell their best player? Surely they keep him and get others in.That bit does not add up IMO
