27 goals in the ccc tends to disagree with you there dai It complete rubbish to even suggest DG can play attacking midfield, his first touch isnt good enough for a start and he lacks the skills for playing in tight spaces. DG is what he is a 3,5m quid striker !! he will get goals if we play to his strengths but he will miss his fair share as well . Its not easy making the step up and of all the ccc strikers that have gone to the premier league he is one that has held his own, players that cost alot more havent done aswell as him. But lets not kid ourselves he is limited in what he can offer. Nothing wrong with what he brings to the team, i think he does a good job when ever he plays for us, he is at his best when running onto the ball and not thinking about his strike, but at the moment we are just not playing to his strengths, it cou;d be a hard season for DG but im hopeful he will get a glut of goals like he did last season. As for him playing in midfield, thats one of the daftest statements ive ever heard
Good post Norway, and what most of us see, and would agree with, Danny boy is at a cross roads, lets hope he can hit some form soon, and adapt to the Laudrup style of play!..................
totally disagree with you norway, at CCC level he was a striker, at prem league level he is a strikers asswipe, better at am
.............Musty don't hold back mate!.................... PS Deserves a boost on the old Rep power mate!....
You getting into the repping mood Musty. I see Phil's been spreading it about of late the whore!! I'm back in rep jail so will be spreading some around this evening, to celebrate a Swans win, with a bit of luck.
He aint Tevez thats for sure but what do people expect for £3.5m quid in the British market?? Danny can get 10-12 goals if we play to his strengths, maybe the team will move on and it will become harder for him but lets not have a go at the guy for trying his best is it ?? You cant say he aint a striker when you look at the way he finished goals against Arsenal,Norwich and Liverpool etc. he just needs to be spoon fed chances..like most strikers do!! I aint saying he is a world class player but he is good enough for this level if we play to his strengths,which is something we aint really done since we signed Siggy last season
Ivor - I fully expect ML to source a striker (from Spain) - in the same way he sourced Michu under the radar ....Bring it on asap - as we deserve a better quality striker than DG to capitalise on the more direct approach deployed this season......
I'll have to try and watch this match on a computer (There's a first time for everything!) Can anyone tell me where I can view it?
Try "First Row Sports". I watch most swans games on there. It's a live stream. But, be warned: it can be incredibly frustrating. The picture is often blocked by crappy advertising, the sound over-ridden by other gibberish, and sometimes the picture, which is usually pretty poor quality, goes altogether. If the latter happens, just click onto another link. DO NOT be tempted into downloading anything that pops up telling you that you require this or that software to view the game. It is a scam. Avoid. Good luck!
Yep computer completely jammed up when I downlaoded trying to watch one game. If anyone knows of a safe stream please post and let me know.
Buy a ticket for the game you tight so and so's. I'm in a pub looking at the ground right now !!! Cool sportz is a decent site too
PGF here you go! Might have to close adds now and again, but should get to see match............................ Link: http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=179559&part=sports
He aint Tevez thats for sure but what do people expect for £3.5m quid in the British market?? What you don't expect is the amount of barren games of a suppose premiership footballer striker...He was crap last season and even worse this season....He is no way good enough for premiership footballer as a striker, he does well with his assists when he replaces any of the midfielders and that's because it suits him better.....play Danny up front and we will lose more than we will draw or win,,,hence Sir Mike has left him out for a number of games.......what manager plays a striker that is useless at finishing, his work rate is good but im afraid that's not his job, his job is to score goals and when your own midfielders are showing you up and doing his job that he cant do then its time to go....
Tried all the ones mentioned and they vary in quality on a weekly basis. Sometimes I have to switch between them during a game. You could try vipbox as well.
Its not just anyone showing him up though is it? its Michu, who showed up plenty of strikers last season in La Liga !! Im not saying DG is the greatest, im just saying he is what he is, a 3,5m quid striker, what do you expect in the British market for that ? Shane long went for £5m last season and wernt a patch on DG. J rodrigez has gone for something like 7m and done nothing so far. DG hit 12 goals last season which was respectible for a debut season in a new team, he scored some critical goals last year so how you can say he is not good enough as premier league striker defies logic !! Nobody is saying he is the answer, what im saying is that if we played to his strengths we would see him getting goals, he aint going convert them all but he will get goals, teams evolve and it could well be that DG gets left behind, if thats the case fair enough, but he can hold his head high after what he did for us last season, this season hasnt gone so well, but as we saw with siggy,once an attacking midfielder of quality gets in our team he also gets the lions share of the chances
