Probably the hardest job in football to be fair, you'd have thought we had cracked it with Assombalonga paying £15m for a player with championship pedigree but alas not Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) The big problem we have had isnt generally buying goalscorers but then not providing the team to create the chances for them. We arguably had our best with Britt when we had Traore available but Monk rarely played him and then he was sold. On paper Rhodes was decent when playing with a target man (Gestede) and ...ahem Boyd (who was awful) but then we had no wingers creating the chances he would have got in Scotland. On the other side of the coin Stuani and Bamford were able to do that little bit more without the service but one was played out on the wing and the other got dropped after being KOed. I think there's a stat where we are near the top for the club with the longest period without a player scoring 20 league goals in a season (Slaven).

I feel like we've been at least 1 attacking midfielder/winger (sometimes 2 or 3) short since we let Reach go out on loan 2015 Sick of us never actually sorting the issue, just try plaster over it with loans and half of them don't get game time or aren't good enough 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The thing about goal scoring strikers is their current team are generally built around them, put everything through them and fully play to their strengths. Often they go to bigger teams and it’s like playing with 10 men as they contribute zero to anything other than getting on the end of balls into the box. That’s why Karanka never played Rhodes, if he actually had to have posession he was useless. Instead of buying a goal scorer we need a focal point up front, modern strikers operate more as a #10 but much further up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) translates as: "#Banfield Report the numbers for this season. Payero is not on the list. It is unofficially known or believed that he was sold to Middlesbrough. But the club did not make any announcement about it but nevertheless no longer counts it on the list. When will there be an official announcement?" So they haven't given Payero a squad number https://clubabanfield.org/inicio/dorsales-definidos-para-la-proxima-temporada/ 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
