Waste of Space Loan Striker Hall of Fame

[One Teddy Maybank]

Obika was utter shit. Truly horrific. But at least he tried.

Akbum is just a disgrace. I am getting angry just typing this.

Feck me that was him trying?! [emoji6]

Remarkable number of loan strikers when you think about it.

If not already I'll mention Graham Barrett, an entire season of 30 games and 1 goal was it?

But the good, some crackers there

Dickov, Moulden+Cotterill, Zamora, Knight, Wood, Murray and of course sunshine on a Waynie Gray

 

[Dave the OAP]

Scored a great goal vs Orient though

very true! I forgot that.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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!

Hmmm.... I give you

Mark Flatts
Barry Butlin
Darren Bent
Glenn Murray
Steve Sidwell

To name but a few . . .

 

[Is it PotG?]

....Barry Butlin, always had a tendency to get booked early.

Steve Sidwell a striker?

You learn something new every day.

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

Anthony Rougier!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

pinemonte ( spelling?)

Missed a bullet there and signed Zamora instead.

Pinamonte scored about 5 in 6 games and the whole of the South Stand at Withdean was chanting (rather treasonously) 'Italia, Italia'. His career may have evaporated like a spilled tequila under a hot Mexican sun, but he was a damned fine player during his brief time with us.

Forgotten the goal of the season already?

Scored from midfield.

Scored from midfield.

Very true. Yes . . . I overlooked the detail of the thread topic in my rush to list excellent loanees, and my face saving trump card is, in fact, fake news

........and shit too. Funny how we hadn't noticed that!

 

[GT49er]

Forgotten the goal of the season already?

Forgotten that he's our player now, not on loan?

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

What a odd thread.

We are on the verge of making the most exciting piece of Albion history in decades and people focus on the negative.

Wins may be few and far between next season, best enjoy the moment.

 

[Keith Patel]

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

 

[peterward]

Harsh on Wilson and Vokes - the rest fully deserved.

Between Best and Obika for worst.

Barn door Billy has to be the worst, useless

Obika, along with Graeme Smith, was the worst Albion first team player I've watched.
1/10 for just for effort, but he had no ball control, couldn't finish, no awareness of space or teammates, weak, simply embarrasing. Stealing a living as a pro footballer.

The only Albion player where 100% fans around us in the WSU at the time, plus on NSC, were unified as one .... that he wasn't worthy of wearing the shirt.

Calvin Andrews anyone ?

 

[supaseagull]

Calvin Andrews anyone ?

Andrews was decent 3 in 9 and a handful despite being on loan from that lot up the road
