One other thing, Jerome.

You have to remember that he ended up with us because he couldn't get in the first team at Stoke when Hughes arrived. He had to drop down to the Championship to get a game.

I like Jerome and he has all the traits your need as a striker in the Championship, fast, muscular and intimidating. Everything RvW isn't.

You have to bear in mind that sometimes you need a different approach in the Premier League, you need players who can drift in between centre backs and make the kind of runs that can split a defence, or even help get the ball wide at the right time.

I'm not saying RvW is the answer to all of that, who knows he may fail again but for people who are thinking Jerome is the complete solution I would say think again.

It will be interesting to see who starts in the striker role and I'm sure we'll see a choice between RvW and CJ for different games. Having Redmond in the team may well help RvW, as he does at least cross the ball sometimes and last but not least, AN tactics of being more attack minded will also benefit him

If we cannot get another striker in I think we would be stupid to get rid of RvW until he has had a chance to play in a team that actually tries to score goals.
 
I am not sure if anyone has seen but apparently Rudy Gestede is set to have a medical at Villa. Obviously sounds like we were interested at one point, no doubt Villa would offer bigger wages ect than us and I am not sure on the fee but you'd expect they have some cash to spend after selling Benteke.
 
Yeah I think there's no doubt that Hooper is comfortably our most clinical forward, but he needs to get much fitter and stay fit. Tbh I'm not quite sure in this day and age how a professional like him ends up putting on timber so fast - apart from anything else that added unnecessary bulk ends up putting more strain on his joints, muscles, ligaments etc and will just cause him more injury problems. Seriously frustrating.


Interesting on a separate note that Grabban's shot accuracy is pretty respectable and better than Jerome's. Hasn't always felt that way!

Ruddy
Turner
Martin
Whittaker
Garrido
Johnson
Howson
E.Bennett
Redmond
Hoolahan
Van Wolfswinkel


We can field a better line-up than that now eh?
 
I spoke to a colleague earlier ( a Liverpool fan) who said that Wisdom is best when playing at CB. He was also a bit disgruntled about Liverpool loaning him out as he though that Wisdom could have done a job for them this season.
 
I can not for the life of me believe that RvW is being given yet another chance to prove just what a waste of oxygen he is!! He must show something in training that he doesnt show on the pitch, because I can not fathom why he still potentially warrants a place in the team. I can only put it down to sheer bloody mindedness not to accept that we wasted our money and no other team is stupid enough to want him. This approach to not accept that he cant hit a barn door has already lead to our relagation once. Please, please, lets not put blind faith in a maraculous turnaround into a pralific goal scorer send us down again!! Just get rid of him AN. I am almost certain that I will not be proved wrong on this!!!

He looked pretty good on the pitch on Tuesday.
