Jay Emanuel-Thomas

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Lets review how good they are next season.
Howe won't change his system so the Bournemouth back four will have to be very quick and very mobile next season to cope with every PL team counter-attacking them. Elphick and Cook haven't played against this quality before and some teams will take them to the cleaners.
I didn't hear too many complaints when we let them go. Elphick was struggling to get in the side and Cook was off the radar. Upson, Greer and Dunk seemed to give us more options.

They had a better season than our pair of ****witts.

 

[ditchy]

It's a yes from me.
Can appear very lazy. Indeed he can be very lazy.
But when in the mood he can bully defenders, has an eye for a pass, and has a decent shot on him.
The decider for me is that he is proven to be able to form a productive partnership with the only striker we are pretty well guaranteed to have here in August.

Dont you think he would have already had a glowing testimony from Baldock who would have had a word in Hughton,s ear

 

[Justice]

He was the stand out player when we played Ipswich in that play off season, won everything in the middle of the park.

 

[Rogero]

Another pointless thread. Coming up with a random name out of thin air.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm bored of all these non entity footballers who's names get thrown around NSC.

So first thing this morning I searched 'Top goal scorer in Belgium'.

One of the first hits was Aleksandar Mitrovic who cost Anderlecht 5m euros.

His show reel looked great (already he was clearly far too good for us).
I then noted he scored against Arsenal in this years Champions League.
Now obviously a Ben's Granddad muse is more likely to come to us than this guy.

Just to ice the cake Newcastle have offered £15m for him.


BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS.

This fella scored a hatful at under 19's internationals and was progressing through Eastern European ranks, before seemingly 'easily' stepping up again in Belgium.

Why are the club scratching around with Spurs cast offs, and why is NSC happy to offer up a succession of Jay Emanuel-Thomas'.

There's a whole planet of footballers out there, let's, club and fans, be proactive for a change.

There are a couple of posters like this, who are using old players as a stick to beat the club/former manager with. They think it makes them look knowledgeable. They also repeat it several times in several threads.
It doesn't make it true.

It's because the lack the intellect to think rationally. Still, makes it entertaining for the rest of us.

 

[Munkfish]

I would take him. Without a doubt a decent back up Striker, is also still young enough to push on and learn.

NSC for once actually makes a suggestion I agree with.

 

[Philzo-93]

A good player on the wing and up front. Did well for Ipswich a few years back. Wouldn't mind to be honest.

I signed Mitrovic for Brighton to lead the line when I got promoted to the Prem in FM14. He cost £11 - a large portion of the transfer fund - but he scored 24 and 26 goals as Brighton stunned everyone to finish fourth, and then second, in consecutive seasons.

He then threw his toys out of the pram to force a £32m move to Bayern, but I won't hold that against him as he was always destined for bigger clubs.

In looking for a perfect set up for a 'hilarious' joke I happened upon Deniss Rakels, playing in Poland.

20 years old - scores at international under 21 level - now scoring in Poland's top division.
This is the kind of player we should be after, someone with a point to prove who's not been corrupted by English football and money, but most probably would like to be!

Then I read:-

In July 2013 he went on trial with the English Football League Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion, but did not stay with them, despite scoring a goal in a pre-season friendly match

I guess he came over with t'other fella.


This scouting lark isn't as easy as BG makes out.

Sincerely hope so

I hope that's not a portent of what's coming this summer...

I'd take him anyway, just for the song potential.

Sunday, Monday: happy days....

Or we could turn up dressed as Big Daddy, easier for some than others (should that be Eze-ier ...).

Think he might want to bring the opposition goalkeepers with him

It's Eze like Friday scoring

 

[Stat Brother]

There's an 11 minute show reel that looks like I'm in goal, for ALL the teams.

Nevertheless just for the speculative joy of a new face, I'd rather have Pat Friday proving a point next season, over most of the 'you owe me a living' (Kemy cough et al) names brandished around NSC this Summer.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's Eze like Friday scoring

If I were Lord Bloom and had just read that, Pat would be signed by Saturday.

Marvellous work.
