All can get to fuck thanks.

 

Agree, we need a clear-out!!!

 

Fed up of blowing wages on players who are good to have around the place and who'll never command a 1st team place, Macgennis being a good example.

 

Get rid of all dead-wood and use the wages on players who have a realistic chance of being 1st choice and use the youngsters or players like McGinn if we get injuries to strikers.

 

It should be quality not quantity!!!

Would let Magennis go first, he's had nearly 4 years and all he's proven to be is another Mackie/Young - lots of effort, little/no ability.

 

Vernon's went completely off the boil over the last two years whilst Zola is just infuriating, stands 6 foot 8 but still gets beaten to high ball!!

Might be coincidental, but since Vernon has been our main man up front we've gone from threatening to scraping results against teams. Hopefully Rooney adds a bit of movement up front as we're sorely lacking that at the moment. It might also be the reason why every attack is going down the left wing, there is nothing through the middle to play off.

I can see a striker being let go to make room for 1 more signing before the window ends. Now, none of the above I'd say have proven themselves to be good enough so I'd be happy enough to see any of them go.

Where's the 'all of them' option?

 

In all seriousness, I'd get rid of Magennis or Zola first.

Both offer nothing and then let Vernon go at end of the season.

 

All are really shite, and we can and must do better than them.

Difficult to pick any one of them out because of mitigating circumstances, i.e. if they were missing loads of glaring goal scoring opportunities on a regular basis, then yes, they ought to be weeded out. However the opportunities and chances they are being given are few and far between. Maybe they are just not suited to the system currently employed. Who is remains to be seen.

Agreed. We've created a lot less chances since Vernon has been in the team. Other than the game in Inverness he just floats about up front doing fuck all

The earlier comment that since we started using Vernon again we appear to struggle to threaten teams is a good call. Get Vernon gone and replaced now. No point keeping add the square root of FA.

Vernon is not wholly to blame. I doubt if even the "King" himself, Joey Harper, would be scoring many goals the way things are in the team just now.

I thought you could perhaps be more imaginative and constructive in evaluating Vernon's role in the team but obviously not. Maybe it appears he is doing nothing because of a total lack of service from those who are meant to be supporting him.

 

 

 

 

Worryingly, I was just reading an Oldham fan's comment regarding Rooney, where he says, "He's not scoring because he doesn't get the service."

 

Now if Vernon isn't scoring because he isn't getting service then we're presumably switching one problem for the same problem.

 

There are strikers out there who can create their own chances, however that kind of striker is way beyond our level of finances.

Aye, we sing from the same hymn-sheet.

I can't really be arsed writing a fully blown analysis. Work was a struggle enough today without having to write you a report!!

He can't control a ball.

He has a turning circle similar to a small planet.

He is slower than a week in jail.

 

They'd be the main problems with him.
