bwfcfan5 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Up steps young hall from reserves. This Dutch fella could be good. He played for NAC and they are the best side in Dutch football He's meant to be going out on loan somewhere I'd heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Personally think its very tough losing your top scorer in this league. They're like gold dust. If he was just a target be no issue. But when he's scored the majority of your goals too.....He’s had the majority of chances too. Are there two penalties and a free kick in there too? Someone else can take them. And are we saying the easier ones couldn’t have been converted by someone else? The one at Sunderland and the one against Barnsley that Little just bounced off him spring immediately to mind as being in the ‘your gran’ category. I quite like him, but it’ll be reet. We’ll not be playing with ten if he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll not be playing with ten if he goes. I personally think without him we've got very little to trouble championship defences. ALF is no threat these days and needs a partner, something we won't do. Ameobi is off the boil and Vela is having a poor season. Time will tell, but I think he's been far and away our best attacking player and I'm not at all confident that we've got others capable of stepping up in form. ALF hasn't scored goals at this level regularly for a long time and personally I think he's an impact sub if anything. We're desperate for someone who can match Madine's 10 goals, Chungy will create, but we need someone physical who can put the ball away.

radcliffe white Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 All depends on the replacement Until we know about that it’s conjecture either way. Let’s see where we are this time tomorrow for once I agree with you Depending on a replacement if any could mean a switch in formation and hopefully bring Alf in as front 2 with another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 for once I agree with you Depending on a replacement if any could mean a switch in formation and hopefully bring Alf in as front 2 with another Serious question, over the past 3 years what suggests ALF should be playing? I don't see it. He's living off past repuation and very past reputation. Nice bloke and all, but he's not done anything this season when given a chance.

jimmyjoojar Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Rewind 18 months Gary Madine was considered a fucking shithouse and rightly so. Presently he's playing well and scoring a few goals but a million miles away from being irreplaceable. The lads is in something of a purple patch, the best spell he's had in a white shirt. But i'll not too arsed if we get decent money into the club that benefits us long term. I'm keeping my powder dry until the close of the window and will review the picture then. But my two penneth is that Madine isn't the reason we'll stay up or go down. Edited January 31, 2018 by jimmyjoojar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 31, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2018 ALF will score goals if we create chances. We just don't create enough because we hoof it too much to the big man. You can bet your life that if we keep Madine, Bristol City will put Flint on him all game and he will do jack all. We need to mix it up more and i'd say that even if Madine does stay, we need to make teams think more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 He was only three goals behind Madine last season after giving him a six-month head start. Different league and that was playing in a 3-5-2 with Madine. And without Madine we didn't win many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we don't create loads, but that isn't changing anytime soon. Anyone playing up front will have to perform as well as Madine with the same service.

Give it a rest for fucks sake You like him we get it. He's done alright this season. Nobody is disputing that. He did ok in spells last season nobody is disputing that.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 31, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2018 Fuck me Dan, you seem to think Madine is messiah. His record and our position in the league suggests otherwise. Sure, he's done quite well and fed off scraps but lets have it right, he's not one of the best strikers we've had in the last 20 years. I can think of loads better including several who played at the same level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily sell him in the summer. Not now though. And not for 2M up front. Whether he's good or not the fact is he's scored 10. The next highest tally is 3. Like it or not we're not going to transform into some magical footballing side because we're selling our top scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
