Steven Naismith

[DanEFC92]

Handy for our opponents

Banter.

 

[Dozbik]

Agreed....

Naismith is an odd one...why do you think he wasnt sold in summer?

Im stuck between

--no time for a replacement
--felt he would give him a chance
--no backup for lukaku
--knows who he would use the money for but couldnt afford him so kept naismith around till jan when he would have the funds for the player he wants
--selling him dependant on Yarmolenko coming

Psst, wake up mate, this ain't no more wonderland.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early Xmas gift for us

Any word on McGeady/Mirallas as well or any other outgoings?

Edit : And so it begins, Martinez now taking the next step in the rebuilding process and shifting players out....phenomenal

Hes gone already .

7.5 m up front from Norwich.

 

[Zatara]

So we werent in for Yarmolenko in the summer then?

Ok mate.

Psst, wake up mate, this ain't no more wonderland.

 

[Walken]

I don't think Bobby rates him anymore

Good post bry

Ok mate.

I didn't question that, but he's extended his contract since then, so we missed our only chance to sign him for a realistic price, which puts us out of contention imho.

 

[Zatara]

Right...and? Totally lost me here, i posted about having money for Yarmolenko in the summer and signing Lennon instead so there should be funds available there.

What's with Naismith scores a hatrick then forgotten about ,plenty of bite in him.He's away for sure not hibs like someone on here said be Norwich,can't blame him either.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Brilliant news that he's staying and fighting for his place.

Criminally treated by Martinez. Scores a hat trick, then has one bad game and never gets picked.

Deserves better treatment; should be playing instead of Kone.

Great player/option to have in the squad.

More like 10 bad games.

Kone offers much more of a link up with other players and controls the ball better.

Naismith is a poacher but his general play is absolutely woeful. To say he is criminally treated is nonsense. If all that was needed in attack was goals then we could just play 10 strikers. Unfortunately for Naismith, Kone is better at linking with Romelu and holding the ball up.

I'm not saying we don't need an improvement on Kone, cause we do, but Naismith is not suited to LW at all.

One good game in 10 is poor, simple as that. Osman has a good game occasionally, get him in ahead of Barkley or Barry.

No mate, he played one bad game after his Chelsea hat trick.

He's worth having as an option from the bench. Osman is finished, get rid of him.

I'd agree with that, but he was injured against Leicester.

Crap against Swansea, crap against West Brom, crap in the derby and then put in one of worst performances I've ever seen in my life from anyone against United. He was deservedly dropped.
