So Gyan is frustrated at not scoring 15 goals, maybe he would have made it maybe not, but it's nice to see the desire to do well is there. Just how potent of a striker do you think he really could be? For me he is not a 20 a season man, but could potentially form a decent partnership with the right player alongside. But note in the article he is off for a ACN match next week, and this is only the start, as he will feature in all off them then the competition itself next year, which on a self-fish point is not good for safc. ASAMOAH Gyan is frustrated that injury prevented him reaching his 15-goal target during his first season on Wearside. Sunderlandâs record signing finished with 10 goals in his maiden Premier League campaign, at a respectable rate of one every three games. But the Ghanaian had hoped to hit 15 and believed he was on course when he ended a seven-game goal drought by notching the crucial equaliser against Wigan last month. A hamstring injury sustained 10 minutes later forced Gyan to miss the subsequent three games and he was not able to add to his tally in Sunderlandâs final day win at West Ham. Gyan told the Echo: âThat game against Wigan, I thought I was going to score a hat-trick. âWhen I got that goal, I said to myself that I needed to score more. âUnfortunately then I got the injury and it was disappointing that I was not able to reach my 15 goals. âThen again, I think most people are happy with my performances this season. âI came here just getting used to the game, but I think my performances have been quite impressive. âThe fans have supported me and the team.â At least Gyan was able to finish the season on a high after impressing alongside Stephane Sessegnon at Upton Park. The £13million striker had only trained twice since returning to full fitness after being the last of Sunderlandâs recognised strikers to fall victim to injury. But Gyan was able to help Sunderland secure their top 10 target and provide some tonic for the Black Cats after a torrid four months. The 26-year-old, expected to feature in Ghanaâs African Nations qualifier with Congo next week, said: âI was really happy to be back. I was out for a month and only trained twice with the team. âI was a big doubt to feature in the game, but I felt like I had a good game. âWe won and finally finished in the top 10 after the ups and downs weâve been through this season. âTheyâve been a bit disappointing but weâre happy with 10th place. âWe started the season so well and we played excellent in the first six months. âWe were sixth and then we lost a couple of games. âThere were a lot of injuries through the team, but weâve done so well to get back to the top 10. âThat was our ambition for the year and weâve been able to achieve that. âEveryone was happy in the dressing room after the game, especially the manager.â
