Jack Celliers He is our best striker and should be first choice. We knew that in the summer when we pissed away £12 million as well.
He is under estimated by a lot of our supporters. He needs to start on Tuesday night if available.

But our manager thinks he is a wide man and not a central striker.

URZZZZ He’s also a lot better facing towards goal than with his back to goal. His touch is poor with his back to goal and hence he struggles with the hold up play. I do appreciate Joao and Puscas have also struggled with this which is why I advocated giving Baldock a go

royalp-we The way I see Meite is raw pace and great at heading or getting on the end of a cross. Definitely good enough to be starting. Personally think he lacks the skill and technical ability of Puscas and Boye when taking a player on; and Joao is better at holding the ball up.
We have a great mix of forward players with Loader too and it’s up to Gomes to make things work. After spending the cash he should have an idea of our strongest form of attack by now really. How long do you give things before it’s no longer a work in progress? Because I’m sure the Chinese will get bored of that rhetoric before long.

What Meite brings you is commitment and desire. He's a big old bull in a china shop. Yes his technique is a bit lacking, but he'll put himself about. He'll attack, take people on, rough up defenders and have a go.
I think him and Puscas would have a field day attacking crosses and pull backs from some decent wingers. Shame we don't have any.
We're back in the doldrums. And what you need to get out is not flash Charlie's withal poor attitude and work ethic who turn up one game in six. What you need are committed, positive triers.
And that's why I'd have the first names on the team sheet as Morrison, Rinomhota and Meite. A core spine of players who will get stuck in, play simple, play direct and play hard.

robig106 I feel that tieing players to 4 or 5 years deals like Meite and Swift has very few benefits. The players motivation, hunger and standards will decrease as they know they are guaranteed to be on a big contract for years to come. The efforts of the players have been questioned for the past few seasons and dishing out long term deals to most players doesn't help as players will be happy to come to the club just for the contract being offered.

That really isn’t the way that top sports people think. If they did, they probably wouldn’t have reached the levels they have. They’re professionals, hardworking and naturally very competitive. They want to win and be the best. Whilst there may be the very rare exception to the rule, to suggest they get comfortable and stop trying because they’re on a good long contract is generally nonsense.

Old Man Andrews Meite was very good at the back end of last season and literally won us games on his own so he has a lot of credit in the bank with me.

2 world wars, 1 world cup Yeah he's good I like him but first choice has to be P&J.
Just stick with them, let them develop their partnership rather than all this ridiculous chopping and changing FFS.

It was his combination with Barrow that worked well, shame he's now gone

Don't get the Barrow love, when he was here people would get incredibly frustrated with him/his end product. But now he is gone, I have seen a lot of people saying it is a shame he has gone.
