Waste of Space Loan Striker Hall of Fame

[Petee]

Getting to a point where a section of the Albion museum could be dedicated to our memorable loan strikers. The ones who have not looked interested, utter dogshite, wastes of space.

Obika
Lita
Best
Vokes
Paynter
Wilson - Debatable
And now Akpom!

Have to agree with you. We certainly do pick 'em.

I've never seen anyone run like Obika -it's like his feet are at a quarter to three!

 

[chaileyjem]

That loanee from Bournemouth; Murray, was a disaster until we signed him in January.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

I didn't think Vokes was all that bad...

...It was a while ago though

 

[chaileyjem]

That fella from Man Utd, Jesse Lingard. What happened to him ?

 

[Petee]

That loanee from Bournemouth; Murray, was a disaster until we signed him in January.

Obviously an exception but he had already been scoring goals for fun in this league.

May be a bit harsh but he didn't set the world on fire. Doing better now for Burnley though.

Unfair on Wilson in my opinion. He was a decent player, just a bit too lightweight and a sicknote.

That fella from Man Utd, Jesse Lingard. What happened to him ?

Not exactly an out and out striker is he? More of an attacking midfielder like Tex.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Going back further: Michael Mahoney-Johnson, Gary Bull, Gifton Noel-Williams, Sam Williams

 

[Mellotron]

Harsh on Wilson and Vokes - the rest fully deserved.

Between Best and Obika for worst.

This. I liked Wilson - the goal against Charlton for example was quality. And Vokes shouldn't be on that list either

We could have a hall of shame for the flops, and hall of fame for the good guys - Owusu, Zamora, Wood... anyone else?

Best was much worse than Obika and that saying something! Obika put in more effort and the salute after the goal vs Port Vale, I'll never forget

 

[Guinness Boy]

Vokes was definitely ok, look what he's gone on to.

Best and Obika were the worst, the first through lack of effort and the second through lack of basic running and football skills. Sadly Akpom looks like a hybrid of the two.

 

[chaileyjem]

We've had in recent memory Wood, Murray, Vokes, Bent, Wilson and Lingard.
Some of the other players have barely played or were only here for a few weeks.
Its of course funny to say its a long list of Obikas and Litas but then that only works if you conveniently miss off the equally long list of internationals, Champ top scorers, and (now) prem league regulars.

 

[GT49er]

Unfair on Wilson in my opinion. He was a decent player, just a bit too lightweight and a sicknote.

Being too lightweight and a sick-note surely means you can't be a decent player; to be a decent player you need to be neither of those things.

Graham Barrett. 30 apps, 1 goal.
