So he's keeping our expectations really low by having Boro linked with a lot of poor players. Then come transfer deadline day, half a dozen top-drawer players will be unveiled and suddenly we'll look like serious promotion candidates. 😁 Trying to avoid the doom monger tag my man, it's not going very well! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,497 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I would take Robson Kanu happily as 1 of the 3 forwards. He can play various positions along the front line and is always good for a goal. Usually important ones too. Almost like a mild stuani. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also he only has 29 assists in whole league career. so he dosent score often and he dosent create chances either, i dont know why he would excite anyone as option particually in our goal shy side. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

notjade 1,174 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Robson Kanu has had one good game in his whole career. Wouldn't touch him with a 10ft barge pole 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't touch him with a 10ft barge pole this, I think the people wanting him are only thinking of his goal v belgium, if they actually looked at his career stats they'd see that hes been bang average player at best.

We need to get past the idea that signings need to be exciting, we need an 11 then extended 18 who can win games. A forward can score 10 and still be a big part of that, 5/6 players scoring 8+ is better than relying on one scoring 20 plus as Warnock sides have shown previously 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A forward can score 10 and still be a big part of that, 5/6 players scoring 8+ is better than relying on one scoring 20 plus as Warnock sides have shown previously your trying to stawman the arugment by claiming people are demanding exciting players, nobody is saying that( or at least im not saying that) , were just pointing out the fact that robson- kanu is a bang average on a good day and his stats prove that he is generally a poor player. you keep mentioning 10 goals like hes done that consistantly, as i mentioned previously, hes done it once in his entire career and actually only averages 5 goals a season and has scored more than 5 goals only twice in his near 15 year career. his assists stats are even worse, 4 a season on average. and these averages are based on a 46 game season, its highly unlikely he will play every game so he'd most likely end up getting 3/4 goals and 2/3 assists based off his average. but for the sake of argument, lets say he does play every game, here is a list of boro players from who have a better combined goal/assist ratio based on last seasons stats (averged over a 46 games). Mcnair, morsey, Johnson, saville, tavanier, kebano, bolaise, watmore and ashley fletcher. that should say it all really. stastically he is not just poor, but as iv now shown is no better than what we've already got/had at the club.
