Definitely and especially with Powell in the team. Afobe has good movement but we have no-one capable of finding him, his pace could be just what we need His movement was atrocious, he didn't run for anything. He didn't jump for anything. His application was risible and his link-up play non-existent. |

An absolute waste of 12m or whatever it was he cost us. Good riddance. |

We have this every summer with Benik. It never ceases to amaze me players become better when they haven’t played😂😂. It’s like the fact MON gave him a chance last season in friendlies and the cup game against Blackpool has just been totally forgotten. I mean I could understand in a way because the bloke was non existent in those games. He’s crap, end of story. His “proven goal scoring record” is one of the biggest footballing myths I’ve ever come across. He’s just spent a season in Turkey in a league where Diouf scored 18 and he scored 4. Telling stat, that. Popular though Douffie might have been, l don't think we kidded ourselves that he was the second coming of Mike Sheron. As a matter of interest how many appearances did BA make for that pittiful goal return? |

How long before he scores, we fail to do so and a 20 page thread about why did we let him go?
To answer in advance, he's shite

As a side note, have Millwall got our training kit as their home kit?

I didn't see him have a single attribute that could be described as positive. An absolute waste of 12m or whatever it was he cost us. Good riddance. We didn’t have anyone deep capable of lifting their head and passing to him especially in away games when teams had space in behind, everything came to a halt when we pushed the ball wide to Ince and MCClean. Wrong style for us because of the players we have |

Imagine being in the position of being offered any striker you like to "guarantee" promotion - and failing as miserably and club cripplingly as Rowett

Why does Rowett think Afobe is going to come good?
He played a big part in costing him his job due to his ineptness, and is clearly a very, very poor and one-dimensional player. Mystifying.
The decision from the brains trust of Kevin Phillips and him to spunk that money on him instead of Gayle is, along with the appointment of Lambert, 2 of the very worst decisions we've made as a club in the last 5 years - and there have been many
