SO when would he be effective?  He's not effective in a sh*t team and not effective in a good team, why has he scored so many goals his whole career?

He's effective, and we absolutely are capable of creative the right chances for him if he was in the team.  

In a more attacking side that isn't playing against a packed defense maybe. In Germany, there aren't many teams that play defensive or make things too difficult for the strikers, it's not a surprise he scored so many there. It's the type of league that suits him perfectly. Premier League defenders never make it easy for you, that is why he has never looked good when starting games. He's a good goal poacher coming off the bench over here, but he's not a good player to start games in. Also, it's like i said, we don't create chances for poacher type strikers so he wouldn't even get those types of chances for us.

Slow down and read what you type before posting.

If that is true then that is f**king embarrassing. All of this money spent on average quality could easily have gone to much better players than this. If our board can't find better for £40m (Bakayoko) £30m (Drinkwater) £25m (Zappacosta) and potentially another £30m (Carroll) then they aren't doing their jobs properly. All of this money made on players sold is being wasted.

We have been holding back spending on top players because they are too expensive, but seem to be fine with spending obscene amounts on average players......it makes no sense. There is no way we will remain competitive at the top if we continue down this road. We are buying players that are around Everton and Southampton quality, mid table type players, that is where we will end up if we are not careful.

 

Does our board understand that if you combine fees such as 25m, 30m and 45m it adds up to 100m? I know we need squad fillers, but quality still trumps quantity. We can't have an entire squad made up out of Andy Carrolls and Danny Drinkwaters ( with all due respect to them).

If West Ham can get £30 million for Carroll whilst keeping a straight face throughout the deal then fair play to them.

I dunno how we did not target any of the offensive players from PSG who are not in the MCN !!! Ridiculous strategy when Willian or Pedro aren't that good! Plus Lucas would be an uprgrade regarding Willian methinks... that would still be better than Andy Carrol for sure!!

Literally everyone in football thinks this is a ridiculous sh*t signing. How can this be happening at our club, I’m honestly livid about the thought of him on loan, never mind 30m. The top dogs at our club are obviously so far removed from the football world these days, it just al makes no f**king sense! Sorry for rant

Its true though, we have the worst board possible, a table of monkeys could do better,they are miles away from knowing what the fans want,miles away from what the manager wants, complete incompetence at the highest level
