Brownbeak, So answer a couple of the questions honestly then, it’s not difficult, unless you really are retarded, in which case I apologise whole heartedly……………….. To all the other retards that you are giving a bad name.
Sunderland had most of the possession,more corners,but only 2 shots on target against 13,and lost 2-0 ,sound familiar? Strikers who can hit a barn door not the dollopers” Robbie the messiah “signed !!!
And who did they lose to?
A team that have been at the bottom all season, with numpty fans screaming for the manager to be sacked, but the owners sticking by him. Sound familiar?
Robbie is a full time manager paid large sums to spot,attract whatever football talent is out there.We are supporters who in a lot of cases work long hours so unfortunately not able to get to 5 matches a week to scout .What a stupid question Standish asks .HE is the manager not you ,me or doughnut so therefore HE has fallen short in building a team that has been competetive for 3 seasons.Christ ,have you missed all our debacles ? or is it selective memory ?Robbie must be built like an octopus to give you all so many reach arounds together .

Why is it a stupid question?
You’ve said you would have signed Yakubu – but these claims are AFTER he has proven all his doubters wrong.
I’m asking you – as you have claimed that you knew Yakubu he would be a good signing – to give us the name of a striker not in the limelight who will score goals next season.
Or maybe let’s wait until August, and then you can give us your prediction then (not three quarters through the season then claim ‘I knew all along’)
We all know full well that the team and manager have not been pulling up trees, as that’s why we are bottom of the league.
Most of us however, can post on other topics without reverting back to the same old drivel.

You need to address your anger issues.Deep breaths and take time to think before you type .There you are ,that’s better .He’s the golden one whose role it is to solve team issues and he hasn’t even scratched the surface in 3 seasons .Kevin phillips short term fix would have sufficed,but doesn’t pass the ball aimlessly enough to fit in.
John Doughnut ,another one who clings on to Robbies shirt tails .Admiration can be blinding you know .I’ve no problem with the lemming like hypnotic trance your in but don’t try to convince anyone that Robbie the winless has been anything other than a balls up.And you wiil never be in a position to yank my strides down as I have an industrial strength Simon Cowell belt holding them up .
There you go again, making claims that are unsubstantiated – Robbie the winless ?
As far as I m aware we’ve won plenty of games, and yes I can prove it.
121 apps………….8 goals between um!
Strikers are not Mr Martinez’s forte.
Best young manager in Europe,my arse
and the debate goes on lets chuck a few others in hey
Agahowa No goals
Mido 3 goals on how much a week thanks spud yed
Marcus bent 8 goals in 33 appearances although he scored 5 in to matches
that greek guy who I wont dream of spelling on loan from Pompey
plenty of well spent money there eh[/quote]
So what you’ve done is pick 4 of the worst pre-Bobby strikers as a counter argument yet acknowledge that they scored more goals than all of Bobby’s “striker” signings have done in 3 seasons yet in a fraction of the games. Not the most convincing of arguments if I’m honest
My own view is that every manager signs duffers even the best of em so to expect every signing Bobby makes to be a good un would be unfair. He has brought in some good players & he has brought in some bad uns like I would expect.
However every single one of the strikers he has signed have been poor (IMO) & their goalscoring records are abysmal. Yes Jewell signed some bad strikers (Folan & Aghahowa) but he also brought in Ellington, Roberts, Horsfield & Camara. Same with Bruce to a lesser extent. Martinez has spent approx £11mill on strikers (£6.5 Boselli, £2.5 Di Santo, £2mill Scotland, £500k Sammon) at a rate of a goal every 15 appearances between them if wigmon’s stats are right.
There are some things Bobby can be praised for but his record with strikers is (IMO) indefensible
In your argument Tyldesley you name a striker from pre premiership days I still go back to the argument that apart from the first season this club as failed to attract the kind of forward the most fragile of supporters of the club want we have never been prolific scorers in this league
It would be fair to say that even the lightside would agree with the Bosselli escapade but all in all Bobby has ad a much less budget to operate with than previous managers and for the future he may have less to operate with all we would hope is that one of these will come off
