I went to the same Sunderland game and had exactly the same thought

He looked so far off premier league quality I never really believed he'd be any good after that

nice lad but Boro have made a ricket thinking he is prem quality, not even in our league did he look anything but bang average to poor

if the ball actually lands exactly on his head he will score a goal or two,
if it lands a yard away he wont get any where near it, the best goal he ever scored for us was against Blues when he was actually moving forwards and was in the perfect positon to head the ball in, that's the only time I ever saw him do it

he reminded me of an even rubbisher Cascarino

I wish him well but he is, without doubt, the worst player I have ever seen playing for us. It's staggering what we paid for him.

And yet we apparently recouped it all.

If somebody crosses the ball for Gestede on a regular basis he will score some goals.  We didn't do that.

He was a big part of the reason why we didn't do that regularly. It's hard to hit good crosses regularly when your centre forward can't hold the ball up or link play, can't move the centrebacks around, and doesn't have the stamina to constantly make runs into the box so that they can be targeted for crosses.

i was thinking this after I learned we'd sold him. Who would the modern day Teddy Sheringham be, who we should've signed instead of Gestede I wonder?

That Ross McCormack over at Fulham looks like he has an eye for goal.

You think he's in the same bracket as TS? I hope so. I've only seen the Leeds home game and 3/4 of the FA cup tie, so difficult for me to judge him.

I've seen some of our goals on YouTube this season though and Kodjia looks to me the most exciting signing of the last few windows, by some distance.

I was goofing around, sorry. More seriously I agree Kodjia is the most exciting signing in a long time. Love the guy.

Really? Remember Jordan Bowery played for us in recent years and he is easily the worst footballer I've ever seen play a first team game for us. I actually felt sorry for him he was that bad.
