Playing BDCR as a false 9 is a war crime only seen when we tried using Okazaki as a loan striker. As effective and loved as Okazaki was, playing as a loan striker was never going to work, just like playing BDCR as a false 9 won't. 

Okazaki was a permanent deal mate

He was a decent striker when he was at Bristol city

26 goals in 7 years

[Jimmy]

after two years I still don't know where he fits in, clearly not a 9, not technical enough to play 10 and slow for a winger?

Think he legs have gone.

Someone made a great point about Albrighton going to West Brom and how all their fans hated him despite how much he was loved here. He was pretty limited by the end. The Bob and Ayew signings are comparable to that.

He’d look great in the under 14s at another club. 
 

An unbelievably shite signing. 
 

Probably not a bad apple but he’s generally woeful 

[Tommy G]

Presume his legs have gone as he was half decent at Fulham. 

[Nolucklcfc]

He just isn’t anywhere near involved enough. Honestly feels like he never touches the ball.

and when he does he always seems to give it a way or get in the ****ing way. 

 

He's what I'd call a waste of space player

Fulham is a weird football club and certain players and managers tend to be well liked and have success there. More often than not they are underwhelming elsewhere.

[Bablemikey]

I thought he had some good touches in the first half. Coming short & successfully bouncing passes into midfield. But once Genoa sorted themselves out he was a passenger.

All true, but never mind that he was washed up when we signed him, he tickled steve cooper's 'experience' fetish.

Has he affected a game in 2 years? Can't remember. Did he get a goal against Brighton in RVN's first game? Genuinely couldn't tell you anything else he's done.

The only game I've been genuinely impressed with him was Norwich away last season.

Came on, transformed the game and ultimately won it for us.

And to think when he was signed he was described as "Albrighton if he played further forward" 😂

genuinely don't have a problem with him, as long as he doesn't start games for us

[honeybradger]

BDCR, Skipp, Winks last season was probably our worst midfield ever.

 

Two central midfielders who take forever to move the ball forwards and an attacking midfielder who loses the ball 50% of the time when it finally gets to him. So we massively struggled to get the ball into attacking areas.

 

None of them ran particularly hard either, so frustrating. Makes what Jordan James did last season playing with those 3 that much more impressive.

I night be remembering wrongly but I'm sure in his latter seasons with them he played more as a wing back. Obviously he needed legs for that but shows what they thought of his attacking ability. 

[Ghanaian Prince]

A horrible, horrible player. Offers nothing

I'd take Albrighton back right now over this guy 

[Clever Fox]

  Reid done ok on Saturday but is probably past his best now but still has something to offer in experience. I wouldn't worry about Saturdays game as Senior players tend to save themselves in such games.

 

I expect it will be 1 off Reid, Chaplin and Cullen to start games along with the new Striker and Winger up top. Supported by Alves and Braybrooke providing the ammunition with Skipp the anchor in Midfield.

[AyewJoking]

he will be decent in league one.........

[David Hiorns]

Pay him off and get him gone

[teblin]

I don't think he's going anywhere unless he kicks off. Think Russell likes him.
