From Fuller to Diouf, after ten years in the prem how come we’ve ended up with a striker, not even good enough to lace the boots of a player we had ten years ago. Money well spent? Poor management, poor board

I know the in thing is to have a pop at Diouf at the moment, but Fuller was irreplaceable, no matter who took his place.

I can't think of any premier league player who was of a similar style as Fuller who we could attract, there aren't many of his type. Diouf is as poor as the few amount of chances we create.

For example. Liverpool. Fowler, then Owen, then Torres, then Suarez, now Salah. All legends, all replaced

We have wasted money on other positions of late. Never even seem to try and sign a striker let alone take a gamble. Diouf works his socks off but he is not good enough without someone else.

Poor management, poor board I don't wish to enter into an argument but I think you might find that Diouf has a better scoring record in the Premiership than Fuller. I am of the same belief as you about Diouf. I do not think him a good striker but the facts show Fuller has a worse strike rate than Diouf and Berahino in the Premiership.

Put it this way then, it’s a one on one with the opposition defender, who do you want on the ball? Diouf or Fuller, it’s a no brainer

Who's scored more top flight goals total and at gpg rate?
I'd hazard a guess Diouf would win both.
And I'm not saying he's better than Fuller because he's not obviously but he is a decent goalscorer in the top flight.

Talk about a total opposite.
God to dog.
Not dioufs fault though cos he's a better right back than a striker.

For example. Liverpool. Fowler, then Owen, then Torres, then Suarez, now Salah. All legends, all replaced I think look at your timeline for Liverpool again. That’s s something like saying from Ritchie to Hurst to Stein to Thorne to Fuller. There’s a reason that caused Liverpool to go from 18 seasons out of 19 never being out of the top 2 in the league to 3 top 2 placings in the next 26 years. I bet Liverpool fans consider that as big a failure as Stokies think of our decades out of the top flight.

One of the best we’ve had in recent times and I dearly wish we had the 2008 version now, but absolutely agree, not world class.

Diouf was a free transfer, overall he has done a good job here, lay off him.

He's basically a 1 in 7 striker for us in the Premier League. Under any measure he is not very good. The older he"s got the worse he's got as well. He couldnae finish a fish supper.
Still he tries and runs around a bit.

Fuller did much more than score goals, though. He changed games and made football enjoyable. He was also underused in the Premier League.

So for us.
Fuller 18 in 110 so 6.1 games per goal
Diouf 23 in 120 so 5.2 game per goal.
Fuller obviously played in a lesser side.
Diouf has played more on the wing and at right back.
Neither as pure stats go are great records!
