Adam Armstrong, Odsonne Edouard and Matt Derbyshire would have scored three goals each on that one of those slick Veltman passes to the advertisement boards behind the goal yesterday. Fact.
Is this "what could have been" thing going to go on for the 4 years of his contract? Oh dear..
Anyway, I was against signing him and I may or may not be wrong on how I percieved his ability. We'll see about that, its early yet and could still go very bad or he could do really well or anywhere...
Agree he looks like he knows that he is doing.
Good for you perhaps that you didnt win against Brighton and Arsenal because that would quite possibly have made him the no 1 candidate when Arsenal finally decides to stop pretending being a long-term project and sack the hilariously incompetent...
Thought he did well tbh. His movement and size caused some trouble. Still firmly in the "we dont need this guy" camp but thought he was good yesterday and they got worse and lost a lot of movement up front when Benteke came on.
Time will tell if they've signed a player or a problem for 5 years.
I know what I think - he'll be bad, and they will try to get rid of him. That said, he will probably score in his debut, to make people panic, and then in both games against Brighton for the same reason (sponsored by Satan)...
Forget the league? :lolol:
Its certainly relevant.
116 games and 66 goals against League Two level opposition... Jordan Rhodes did it in League One. But its decent of course, not the same amounts as the SPL records of world beaters like Kris Boyd or Gary Hooper, but nonetheless decent.
I cant really think of many attacking players who has done well after that move. Well, Mark Viduka maybe but that was 20 years ago.
Other than that... Jelavic started well, turned into shit. Tore Andre Flo remains one of the biggest flop signings in PL history when he moved to Sunderland from...
My guess is that he will score a goal either on his debut or the week after that, followed by "TB OUT!!!" threads, and then going on to score a total of 3 or 4 goals this season.
I think its unresonable mainly because he really havent showed enough in Celtic to warrant that kind of money... 22 league goals in his best Celtic season doesnt say much. Where are previous SPL top scorers now? Liam Boyce (who?) who scored 23 a few years ago, is he tearing up the PL? Leigh...
