He is better than Afobe but frankly I think we should get rid of as many of our players as possible so he can go for me

Can't see what there is to lose by giving him a go alongside Vokes. Absolutely Toxic.. NJ wants,supposedly,to play high pressure,high tempo pressing,quick counter attacking,risk/reward football;but omits one of the few forward players,who admittedly technically limited,has the legs and heart to play non-stop ,high tempo pressing,quick breaking football....

Strange one with regard to Mame, as with Erik before him. Both were not perceived to be part of the problem, good honest pros who tried their hardest when selected, albeit with some technical limitations. When you see some of the half-arsed effort put in by others, his continuing spell sitting in the stand does seem rather odd. Right now, I'd have him ahead of Saido (obviously) and probably Afobe too. And not forgetting McClean as well!!!

He missed chances but no worse than them playing now. Can anyone tell me what Vokes as brought to the table because I ain’t seen it yet. He’s a target man that needs good ammunition and a player to get on the end of knock downs and flick ons.

Ffs ,all I seem to read on here is how we need to ship out our overpaid failures, let our manager do his job ,he told us we will go further backwards before moving forwards ,our fans screaming for a young up and coming manager , now we have one , he doesn't want players who are on 40 grand a week contracts with a shit record of scoring recently ,or playing well recently . some tough decisions are currently being made ,keep the faith ,forget this season ,give Nathan a fucking fair go

He wants to play football - he also wants to kick the ball in the opponent's net, but rarely does he do either. You can’t do the second thing unless the manager picks you to do the first! Diouf and Bojan are just unlucky that the manager’s striker picks are now doing so well! It can only be an unfortunate coincidence that the most loyal, enthusiastic, good eggs in the dressing room, are all being bombed out. (Pieters Bojan Crouch and Diouf). It happens when a team is playing too well to change anything. You can see the benefits coming through now though, in the new, clearly evident positive team spirit. (Admittedly they’ve only shown it in wildly optimistic Sentinel interviews so far - rather than on the pitch - but it’s early days). I’d say it’s going really well.

Strange how players who aren't getting picked are often the answer to some despite the fact they had little or no impact previously. Diouf did nothing to suggest he should be on the pitch and bringing him back would make the slightest bit of difference. 7 goals in nearly 3 years....bring him back quick
Campbell for me is still not quite ready and the loan will do him good.

Scored more than Arnie in same number of games! Scored 11 prem league goals in 35 appearances when played as striker. McLean who is keeping him out never scored more than 2 in a prem season. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

His record in the Bundesliga was excellent. 1 goal every 168 minutes, which is sensational. Then, even in his first season here, he got double figures, despite playing only about 20 games up front. Mind you, I don't think he's physically that same player these days.

We need to be shipping him and many others out in the Summer .

Exactly. Players not picked suddenly become the best in the squad wtf Last time Mame started he looked totally disinterested and certainly wasn't the 'duracell bunny' we have come to love...he's not the answer and certainly not the future. If you buy into the " be patient whilst we build" philosophy, then this type of thread is irrelevant now

Being kicked out for being one of the top earners. Is my honest opinion. Lovely person. Hard working , gives 100%. We would be foolish not to give him a chance. Played 90 odd games and scored 7 in his last 80 odd. Had quite a good chance don't you think?

But, in the short-term, we are going to need one of Afobe, McClean, Diouf or Bojan to play alongside Vokes if he wants to play the diamond before the summer

Makes you think, doesn’t it? he was played up front last season by Lambert and quite honestly he was very poor. His record is ok but recent record not so. I can't think right now but if I put my mind to it I bet he missed 10 sitters last season and to make things worse he rarely hit the target.

He has to listen to Nathan. It's as simple as that. Then maybe his dream will come true.

He couldn’t hit a barn door. Absence clouds judgement. If we played him for a game those saying he is the answer would soon come to their senses.

I've given Diouf lots of stick since he's been here but Afobe makes him look like Aguero.
