Trying to think of any strikers we have signed that have been flops. Falcao was one. Forlan didn’t do too much but remains a cult hero. Apart from those two I can’t think of any. Maybe Owen the scouse ****. Hughes Cantona Cole Yorke Sheringham Ole Ruud Saha Rooney Tevez Berbatov RVP Hernandez Martial Ibrahimovic Lukaku Cavani Ronaldo Not a bad bunch!
Aye, Bent was ****e banging in 25 goals a season compared to Rondon's 11 Love how you champion the deluded tag your supporters have up and down the country
I'd probably put Martial and Lukaku in the underwhelming category. Surprised at the time inter paid so much for him considering you boys were desperate to get rid (similar with us and Morata the spanish pansy). Martial was an expensive youth signing (probs similar to rooney style) who started on fire but has gotten worse and worse each year. If you had got them at lower fees then it'd have been decent signings but the cost per performance probably go more on the flop side
Defoe is about 40 and he's still better than Rondon. You have just reminded me actually. This is how good Jermain was for Sunderland ****ing have it up ya scumbags. I loved this one he scored at the scrapyard. This one was simply superb
His best premier league goalscoring figures were at Sunderland once we decided to remove him from playing at right back. Don't ever change from being a clueless knacker when it comes to football
Yeah we bid 20 odd, but at the time nufc was a top 4 club.. It was the Chelsea takeover that did for us... We were about to sign Drogba.. They bought half of Europe the next season, nufc Dropped to 5th and some thick Geordie ****s blamed Robson
Look at this list.. Look at the list of names and the numbers You said ba was ****. You know nothing about football...
****ing hell, we used to have a dreadful record for big name striker signings prior to Cantona. Gary Birtles, Peter Davenport, Terry Gibson, Peter Beardsley, Alan Brazil, pretty sure there's more during Sexton and Atkinson days. Was Brian McClair who came in and broke the 20 goal duck and then Eric followed him. Everyone since been pretty good, yeah.
