Moderators Zico Posted May 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2010 does he contribute enough in 90 mins? i'd say no. depends what you want from him he's got 8 goals and you know when it falls to him in and around the area he's going to get a shot away i much prefer that and see it as more of a contribution than say Elmander who doesn't score as many goals but runs around a lot more and tackles and what not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Nt Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 was elmander on the bench yesterday? if not was he injured? No, he wasn't injured and wasn't on the bench. One thinks his time is up as a BWFC Player. Good riddens I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrandt Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Think I said on another thread ...... keep him if we're not likely to find another natural goalscorer. That ability is like gold dust. BUT don't sign him as one of only two main strikers. He's not fit enough for that burden. We'd need at least one other pacey striker as well to give us options. Hopefully if he's signed then a full pre-season here might improve his fitness for the Prem a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 He's got 8 goals in 12 premiership starts. If we can get a full pre-season out of him and can keep him close to injury free then he would be incredible for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember him running the length of the pitch to get back in the FA Cup game against Arsenal in extra time few seasons back? Sure enough he gave a penalty away but still tracked 80 odd yards to try an prevent a goal. I didnt imagine that did i ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Anelka moved a lot more than you give him credit for or he was very good at standing in the right place and defenders just ignored him.

Moderators Carlos Posted May 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2010 Anelka moved all the fucking time, working the defence all game, he didn't need to chase 60 yard balls like a clogger. People who can't see how he played the game need to start watching another sport. It shows what a load of plantpots we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcol Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Movement is a sign of a great attacking based player, you never see Messi standing still do you? Look at Wilshere, he's always on the move and always in space (I'm not comparing him to Messi). You don't score goals by standing still and not moving.

Moderators Carlos Posted May 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2010 Define movement. Do you mean running round like a ted loon? Is that movement? Anelka used to stand next to a defender - the lazy bastard. But he was "moving", twitching, feigning movement, taking small steps, working the defender. To the hyper-critical he probably was "standing still". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 In speaking to Phil Gartsides mate after the City away game, he told me a deal was in place for ?1.9m that had been agreed by both clubs. For me, he is an out and out goalscorer and is not afraid to shhot on site (which will create other goals). Got to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Nt Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) How many appearances as Sub? Years Team Apps? (Gls)? 1998?2001 St. Pauli 95 (26) 2001?2008 Werder Bremen 150 (49) 2008? Nantes 33 (10) 2009?2010 ? Bolton Wanderers (loan) 27 (8 ) The stats prove he's a 1 in 3 striker. For ?2m that is an absoloute snippet for someone of his calibre! COYLE SIGN HIM UP! So what if he's lazy? He's a natural goalscorer and if he scores 12 goals next season 'not tracking back' then who cares?!
