Markus Rosenberg

[Gritt23]

Interesting stat:

Career total Rosenberg 363 apps, 112 goals (exactly 2 x Ashley Barnes Albion stats)
Leroy Lita 351 apps, 111 goals

Similar in that they both score 1 in 3, but slightly worryingly Rosenberg has 25 apps, 0 goals in the Prem, so has never scored in England. Still, at this level could probably score 1 in 3.

I would be interested to know his average minutes per appearance for WBA. I bet it's less than 10.

Just looking at the dry stat line doesn't give the full story ... like the Barnes stat you used when he's played left midfield for the last 2 years.

He'd be a brilliant addition.

He's done so much better since being played up front so far this season....

We all know the varied opinions on Barnes on here, we don't need to do that one again, shirley. My point is merely that the stats for a forward on Goals Per game are not always a fair measure as they don't always play as the striker. Likewise in the case of Markus, I bet the vast majority of those WBA are late sub appearances, or League Cup games when the service he receives is from the youth team.

1. When someone has played 300+ games and scored 100-odd goals then they're a 1 in 3 man. End of.

2. I doubt whether Barnes goals ratio is that different whether playing as striker or as midfielder, in the same way that I doubt whether Frank Lampard's goal ratio would improve if he played alongside Torres, rather than continuing to make runs from deep and scoring goals from midfield. The point is Barnes' ratio is identical to Lita and Rosenberg, although the latter has played most of his football at a higher level.

...and might therefore be expected to do a bit better than 1 in 3 with us (when he's match fit). I'd love it if he came to us.

If or should that be if Rosenberg were to sign, it would yet again highlight a problem with DB's stance on Roar.

A la Lita, Rosenberg's situation hasn't changed since August, if anything it's got worse.
The Albion's situation has most definitely got worse.

So if DB has EVERY player on a data base, with all the intel anyone would ever need, on said player.
Why wait to bring them in?

We've been lead to believe only 'the' player will be signed.

Why do we still have an 'unfit' Lita when we needed him weeks (months) ago.
Why would we sign an 'unfit' Rosenberg now?

Started once, went off at 67 mins
The other 3 league appearances were after 75 minutes from the bench.

Perhaps Rosenberg didn't want to drop to the championship until now or West Brom haven't previously wanted to let him go?

Also, Swansea may have dropped the % salary we need to pay to an acceptable level where as before it was out of our range?

 

[Yoda]

Perhaps that is what his mate was referring to! Confusing a player autograph signing session with a signing of a player?

My colleague has just returned and that's what it has turned out to be.

My understanding was that Lita did not want to drop a division and almost had to be pushed out of the door. Quite a few Championship clubs, apart from us tried to sign him so just MAYBE it wasn't the Albion dragging their feet

I feel like I was slightly cheated by Rami Shaaban as he wasn't aryan enough....so a proper blonde swede would be amazing


he IS blonde right?

Good work sir.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I'm surprised no one has linked this with Barnes supposedly being off to Burnley.

Barnes OUT Rosenberg IN?

Blonde and handsome.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Blonde and handsome.

Phwoarrr.

Has to be up there with Giroud in terms of handsomest men in football.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I thought this was about the BBCs legal reporter

No, you're getting confused. He was convicted for spying for the Russians against America in 1953. Rumour has it that he went to the electric chair but that's clearly a conspiracy theory.

Sorry, wrong thread.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Phwoarrr.

He's clearly not a stand-in for Ulloa at all. He's coming here on loan, to placate the angry ladies, sulking over the absence of Andrea Orlandi.

 

[Albumen]

No?
