Milky Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 he's played 9 and scored 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandannieldanok Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 All I know that he after looking a week ago he had scored 3 goals in 2 starts and 6 sub appearances. This isn't too bad considering and I don't see why he can't be able to play some role for us next season, obviously not in the starting 11.

MC Prussian Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 He better stay in the Netherlands and end his career there. Yes, Levein's system didn't really favour him, but he's not the most reliable marksman. Reminds me a bit of Heskey, only slower. On a sidenote, he's already 30 and not a real captain-like player.

This isn't too bad considering and I don't see why he can't be able to play some role for us next season, obviously not in the starting 11. i agree its the same as hammond, people keep saying get rid of those two there rubbish, not good enough well yes their not quite good enough for the first team thats why hume and fryatt are starting ahead of hammond and de vries is on loan, but honestly hammond and de vries are not a bad couple of players to have on stand-by any better and they would just simply move to another club and play for them. We are not a big spending premiership club who can afford several class strikers, ontop of that we already have a young strike force so we cant really have young strikers on the bench waiting for their chance to get on as we already have a young strike force on the pitch so there would be little incentive for them to move here. Look at the bigger picture we just cant afford to have 4 class strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bigger picture we just cant afford to have 4 class strikers I think you're right, De Vries isn't so bad and will have gained confidence playing and scoring. Also Hammond is dangerous with his pace. We must look for other transfers in the summer like full-backs/goalies/midfielders. Let's settle with what we have unless a real bargain comes up. I wouldn't disagree though if Kelly spent all of our money on Freddy Eastwood. He was amazing for Southend at the weekend. Quality striker!

MC Prussian Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 Hammond over DeVries any time. At least the first one has some potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the first one has some potential. yer a agree, i just don't see how de vries has won over many fans,,,yer ok great goal against spurs...but apart from that he can't beat a man, can't sprint whilst controlling the ball, he's tall...can't really head the ball and he is strong...i know we have f**k all money right now, but surely we can do better than him....but yer..we defo need some midfielders and full backs...

MC Prussian Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 All in all, sounds like Rob Kelly will have to go for some really good loan deals, if affordable. Buying new players? No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 i cant believe people are saying hammond has potential. how many has he scored in his career? 7? i dont feel he understands the game of football.all he can do is run in a straight line + still doesnt win the ball. he has never been able to shoot, at least De vries scored a few goals, isnt he still joint top scorer? hammond can leave on a free, he has no potential + isnt exactly young.

The Stig Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 we could do worse for a squad player, or if we ever needed a big bloke for any reason, don't forget he can hold the ball up quite well, having said that thats sbout all he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 To be honest with our current financial situation and Kelly's latest comments, I don't think we could do too much better than: 1st/2nd - Hume & Fryatt 3rd - O'Grady 4th/5th - Hammond/De Vries I just don't think we should be moaning at that.

I reckon we could easily let MDV go to free up some wages for other, more important areas - midfield for example. Besides, if we find ourselves losing 3 of the 4 thru injury, we could always bring somebody in on loan. I don't think keeping all 5 strikers is in our best interests, really.
