It's Poll's season it seems, everyone just wants the season to end and people are thinking about the important decisions of the summer. We've discussed Yakubu, now onto another striker. Some have said Waggy should be sold in the summer and some don't. IMO getting rid of him would be way too hasty, considering 1. He's young and improving 2. His debut season was very impressive 3. He's still shown glimpses of the player he can be this season despite having limited tme on the pitch 4. The other strikers we've used have had mixed reviews I also don't buy into this 'he doesn't suit Sven's style stuff. He is not just a battering ram like Howard, he is a good footballer. I don't understand how Yakubu fits into Sven's style but Waghorn doesn't, considering they are quite similar players - quick, strong, skilful and can produce something out of nothing, though is prone to the odd wild, erratic and sometimes laughable bit of play. And in any case, we haven't been playing good football against the good sides, see Forest on Saturday for example. I still think the lad has bags of potential and players like him and Schlupp could be the next King if managed right. Sadly though, they could both be the next Gradel as well. There were very few people who were bothered when Gradel left, and that was mainly down to the fact he didn't look anywhere near as good as he does now. But just a couple of seasons later and he's filling his potential. I would be gutted if Waggy left and the same happened. And remembering how 'unpolished' the diomand Gradel was when he left, who's to say it couldn't happen again? It might be worse this time if he goes to Derby. IMO when you have young players with potential they should be in your plans. You need to blend the know-how and proven quality of experience with the hunger and raw talent of youth. Certainly he should be considered next season, he is at least a good squad player.
I think Dany N'Guessan should be given a chance as he proved under Nigel last season he is good enough he just needs to be managed. Sven should give him pre season before getting rid at least
Even under Pearson N'Guessan was never consistent enough. A match winer on his day but that only came around once every 10 games. The rest of the time he was a liability. I'd ship him out personally.
I not saying we should keep N'Guessan just that Sven should at least look at him and judge him himself
Well he hasn't set Southampton alight so I would cash in on N'Guessan. Wag horn could do with a season loan to League One. He'll bag 20+ goals and he'll be raring to go. If we get promoted then we can sell him and if not he'll be full of confidence for the Championship.
