Holloway will never score many goals in any league. If that's his main remit he'll always be a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past his prime Adam Le Fondre was one of the leading strikers last season which indicates the comparative standard. Brisbane decent place to live and he'll be playing in a big stadium (admittedly only a quarter full) for home games. Wish he'd been better for Latics but a great adventure for him. Good luck to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker is supposed to score goals and AAH never did for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Forward" would be better as it includes those who'se main attributes are holding the ball up, making space for others etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG123 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 As Simon Corney once said to me Do you know John, the problem with some of our players is they like being professional footballers with all the benefits and kudos it brings ................... but they don't actually like playing football..........................

Do you believe his contribution in goals was sufficient as the main striker he was signed for at Latics?. I also doubt he'll be remembered at Shrewsbury with any passion either, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was amazing but he was instrumental in helping Main score some critical goals to keep us up that season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only played together 8 games. 1 goal socred in 531 minutes on the pitch. The best partnership was AAH & Lee Erwin 3 goals in 7 games and 303 minutes. Or JAck Byrne and Eoin Doyle 5 goals 32 matches. 2,700 hours None were prolific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway wasn't a goalscorer but still contributed interms of Hold up play and link play. We've had better we've had worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don’t believe our supporters values on players to many people been brainwashed over the years into the corney way of thinking that 350k is a big fee yes he was Shite for us and yes doidge for 250k is a far better option but if we had a player that scored 19 goals in a season I’d of wanted upwards of that figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
