Oliver's Scoring Prowess (with Poll)

Discussion in 'City Talk' started by JonButterfield, Jul 24, 2024.

?

Oliver

  1. Oliver? Perhaps Kane/Greaves/Rooney/Charlton/Lineker in disguise. Goals galore

  2. Now a cemented Garden Gnome will score more (or not)

  3. I am a weathervane not sure, he could score or not (at confused.com)

    I think that demonstrates he could score then, but has failed to replicate that form.

    Exactly that’s what I said he is capable. But he is expensive to be sitting on the bench

    27 league goals 9 assists 20 MOMs and a rating way above anybody else in that teamOver those two years.I know he hasn’t done it for us but those facts show that he is capable.
    He is a big earner so if possible needs to be moved on but those stats show that if he can replicate that he would be a good squad menber

    FFS man. I think everyone else who has chipped in believes he totally incapable. He's rubbish, even from the bench. You are on your own in this one. If Oliver were a chain of Jewellers he would be Ratners. Expensive Tat.

    "Easily there most highly rated player" says park. Despite not having watched them play or being able to name any other player in the whole squad.

    Give it a rest. 31 goals in 93 games is meh. Face facts, he was a very poor signing. Even David Blunkett can see that.

    I think we're just hoping he leaves and we don't have to bother discussing his talent and merits. His merits since joining us, that would be a short discussion

    He is so highly rated we are fighting off other clubs for him to remain at City.
    He is another player signed without fore thought of how he would fit into the way we wished to set up or having the players to set up to play to his strengths. He certainly appeared to struggle after coming back from his injury last season.

    To clarify, you're agreeing that he scored 27 goals and not 31?

    I agree he was (past tense), but the recent history, confirms that golden period has now passed.

    What Oliver might or might not have done before he joined us, is irrelevant in my opinion.
    What he has done since he joined, is basically zero, i know he has had a large part of that time injured, like many we have signed, but when fit either here or out on loan, he has done nothing and been paid handsomely for it.
    It might be his demeanour, but he has never looked interested to me.
    The sooner he moves on the better for all.
    I hope he proves me wrong and bang's in goals for fun for us, but i just don't see it.
