Our worst ever striker?

[Swartzy]

Tosun - Just cos of the price - and spray on hair we forked out on him
( And he will always remind me 'Allardyce' managed our club )

 

[pfim]

It’s Stracq. Came to England with zero expectations, somehow didn’t meet them.

 

[supertoffee98]

Unfortunately he plays for Everton now

Can anyone guess who it might be?

 

[Mr Happy]

As a winger, he was still expected to score.

Plus he was awful

Not a striker.

 

[BullensRoad]

Royston Drenthe shouldn't be on that list because:

a) he was supremely talented, just an unmanageable headcase.

And

b) Not a striker.

Got too much too soon imo.

Turning up to training off his face a few times Tim Howard said. Probably needed an arm round his shoulder type manager.

I think one of Moyes’ weaknesses was he would shut out a player if they shown any signs of ill discipline, instead of getting them help or support.

See Bellamy for example, just took another guys word on him and refused to sign him, who was a brilliant player imo.

 

[BullensRoad]

Brett Angel was bad so was Sandro but a few on that list stunk the gaff out

I remember when we signed him and he played in an U21 tournament and was excited to see him play, was crap but Asensio stood out massively.

 

[BullensRoad]

All the DCL haters didn’t have to sit through the turgid James Beattie years. We’ve been privileged for the last few seasons to see a Nr 9 who cares. Careful what you desire.

Beatie at least had a decent prem scoring record.

Game changed and Andy Johnson coming in with pace shut him out.

Ever had the feeling “we’re going to win the game”, I did when we played Chelsea at home and the crowd was up for it.

Beattie in the first few mins head butted Gallas and got sent off.

 

[twoblue]

John Spencer was shoite for us !!

Yep. A player that had underwhelmed his whole career and then failed to meet expectation when he joined us.
My eyes hurt a lot that season… until super Kev joined us

 

[Marius57]

Rondon/sandro/maupay.

Niasse shouldn’t be on that list. He at least scored some goals (which is the main point of a striker) and he never put in any less than 100% despite being treated awfully.

 

[Khalekan]

Blackpool Mickey Walsh is a glaring omission from that list.

As are Alan Biley and Mick Ferguson.

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

Gueye wasn't a striker but so lightweight.

I remember angell and Barlow starting together and someone commenting that we'd be lucky to score Nil (I think they started together v sheff wed away when we won 3-2 as well, but I may be misremembering).

 

[AndyC]

Very difficult to choose as, sadly, we seem to have had more than our fair share of yard dog strikers.
Straq tried hard just wasn’t very good at all, Bernie Wright was a non-sensical signing, Sandro was awful… I could go on but, for his all-round ineptness and being burned into my memory as being ‘last’ my vote goes to Rod Belfitt.

 

[StDomingosGringo]

John Spencer. Always & forever.

We may have had worse but watching him play for us killed a part of my soul.

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Cant remember his name but that loanee we had from City. The gangly one

 

[Nymzee]

Cant remember his name but that loanee we had from City. The gangly one

Considering his only footballing contribution before a season ending injury was scoring a back heel goal I really don’t see how he’s our worst ever striker
