SaintNewForest Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He had a poor 1st half of the season (bar August when the transfer window was open). Perhaps he had a niggling injury, or his head wasn't in it. Whatever. But he's looked really good since Xmas time, and absolutely in my first choice XI right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He's really important to us now, as we saw when we tried playing Armstrong up front on his own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He’s so fucking bad you could put jack stephens up front with his boots on the wrong feet an. He would still be a upgrade in the finishing department .. I’m serious too.. how fucking long will it take before the club realises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Block41 Saint Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He's missed a whole host of sitters since joining us, he's a truly woeful striker. Already signed a pre contract with someone apparently, good riddance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a new contract on the table from us since January last year but he's been stalling because he thinks he's better than us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It surprises me that Prem teams still want him. He's not a finisher. He's Ok as a second striker but not leading the line on his own and we only play with 1 striker. Good luck to Wolves if they have won the race for him. We need a refresh in attack in the summer anyway, AA aside (who at times has looked jaded and is better out wide) we have a long term injured striker in Ross, Che who is a poor finisher, and a striker who has shown limited potential in Mara. Even Dom Ballard is crocked long term. We need at least one, if not two, new strikers in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He is just shit. One of the main reasons we went down, and the main reason we are not in the top two. I would be amazed if any Premier side were after him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick him in tandem with a finisher and let him do all the dirty work and it will be more fruitful, but if you're expecting him to score you the goals then you're in for a rude awakening. When we sold Ings the club hung their coat on Che, with the likes of Armstrong and Broja supporting him. It didn't even take much for Broja to out perform him and he wasn't even ours. What I want more than anything this summer is a proper number 9, a consistent finisher to play through the middle. I fully accept Adams will go (blessing) and so will Armstrong with just 1 year left, so it gives us a great opportunity to properly revamp that area. I just don't want to hear any nonsense in the summer about how Stewart is fitter than ever etc etc, we need to be aiming to replace him too - he is nothing more than a squad player in my eyes at this stage.

bpsaint Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The most wasteful striker I’ve ever seen in my time watching Saints, and as I said in the match thread I can’t wait till we no longer have to watch him in a Saints shirt ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first miss was horrific today. How do you not even get it on target in front of the goal unmarked on the 6 yard line. The second one although he probably should have scored i can just about forgive him as it was a very congested 6 yard box, he at least got it on target. Two chances like that in a game though and not even take one of them is incredibly poor. I've been a big support of Adams as i think there is a good player in there but im out of patience as he repeatedly misses chances that sometimes you cant believe he misses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been banging on about the same thing for 4 years. It’s not Adams’ fault he’s a crap finisher, as horrible as yesterday’s misses were. Ever since Ings made it obvious he wasn’t staying we’ve desperately needed a quality striker and haven’t got one. It’s why we got relegated and it’s why we’re not getting automatic promotion. Adams, Mara and ArmA (as a 9) aren’t at the required standard. Broja was a kid and on loan - we were lucky he managed a brief purple patch. Tall Paul?? Literally wtf. And as for Stewart … not his fault he’s crocked but you’d have thought the club went for a better, safer, less risky option after 3 years of fuck ups. It is so obvious what our biggest problem is and has been for years and yet we haven’t resolved it. Someone like Ings 4 years ago can create a goal out of nothing, let alone finish a gilt edge chance. Adams can’t even do the latter. Simply not good enough from him or - much more culpably - the club. Edited March 30 by Chewy Typo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a patient supporter of Che; particularly at this level - but in a season where we've needed an on-song striker he's been a grave disappointment.

The Cat Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 28 minutes ago, Turkish said: I only saw the highlights so didn’t see that one He was in a very similar position to Rothwell's second goal against Huddersfield. Rather than blasting it into the far side of the goal he dithered, then tried to curve it around the keeper into the near post but it was a tame effort which the keeper saved easily. I'm not even sure it was on target. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Oh well no bazunu to moan about anymore so back to the Ronald McDonald with his boots on the wrong feet at the other end of the pitch . still bemuses me how this cart horse seems to continue to stay in the team and people forget about how absolutely shit he is . Just because he manages to scuff in a few close range chances .. he needs about 6 sitters to get a goal even if he does score he is still fucking woeful 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arribo couldn’t ? all we keep hearing from russ is we created enough chances but we not clinical enough ..
