Straqua man

[chriswho]

he has shown moments of skill. i can think of a couple "flick ons" that he's done that have sprung other players (first was for drenthe's first goal, another happened against norwich, wasn't a goal but was a good chance.)

that being said, moments like his "breakaway" pass to Vorm today are terrible. He is good in the air, and when he is ready to give a damn and fight, he can cause some defenses some trouble. He seems to make the "right" run a lot, but lacked the pace to capitalize. He also seems to be able to pick a pass. At best, i see him as a hold up player able to play in others to score (kinda like Hesky) but unlikely to hit the net himself too much. If we field a midfield of Pienaar, Donovan, and Drenthe all running in behind him, that could cause some real problems...

Workrate consistency, touch, shot, and top speed all need improvement.

Good Grief

We were ace once

Everton not signing Demba ba will be the reason our season fail's He'll score nearly as Many as our whole ****ing team FFS , the amount of empty heads telling me " no he's not worth the 60 a week .... Clueless on a free transfer your getting a player that scores near 20 every season , well in Moyes'y and Bill another good bit of business , could have got him off the wage Bill in 1/2 years time for about 8 million too ,

You pointed this out before and I slated you - However I hold my hands up and have to agree with you.You're right it was a massive mistake not to go all in for him

Sorry Xavi Lad

When he did that header when he was on the ground made me LOL!
Have to say he is great in the air, seems to win every header, but saying that i don't want us to hoof just coz he can and i hope Moyes doesn't ask players to do that when he's on. Hoofing annoys me. He can hold the ball up well but our problem is, just like tonight no one in midfield was willing to break, but if we did in numbers on certain occasions i reckon we could of had and other goal or two.

He seems to be have his own forcefield that repels the ball away at great speed should it come near him.

Have to say his couple of early touches actually made me laugh. Entirely agree about Ba too, he would have been absolutely perfect for us.

Respect for saying that mate ,takes a man to say that

I watched this lad playing on ESPN in Germany , then he came to West Ham destroyed team's on his own , the lads a goal machine. , what the issue is - he's gangly and not nice on the eye ( the opposite of a Berbatov) but look at Fellaini he's shocking on the eye but like Demba Ba he's very Affective , on a free too , I can't get my little Spanish head around this )> , he brings Straquarsi instead who's not as good as Marcus Bent , we'd have got a big sell on profit which we can't afford to overlook , on the positive note big result tonight and i was made up with little Roysten , breath of fresh air the little man

 

[BigBlueBalls]

FFS! He's a yard-dog,

Have we stooped this low?

"This" low?

It's when we all have to sing Karaoke to keep the club going we have to get really worried.

 

[thebluefox]

I'm pretty sure I pointed this out about a week ago. People just copy me ffs.

12 weeks ago lad

*ahem

Demba's number one fan here!

Shame though isn't it? He's a beast. Stoke must be gutted too mind.

 

[Brownie]

Come on Denis.

There's no stopping him once he get a few goals. He will cum all over your face mate... Watch this space...

Much better option than saha imo

 

[somuchfun]

You can't blame him for not giving 100%. He holds the ball up well and if he'd calm the **** down he might actually be quite prolific.
