Stendelnator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Uche was extremely limited. He was excellent the first time he played against most teams as they didn’t know what to do. Next time he’d play against them they’d sit off him and he’d be lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoolfordsHearts Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Loved big Uche. He was f****** hopeless though,watching him at East Fife breakdancing on the touchline trying to keep the ball in still haunts me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5jambo1 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 He’s just a handful. His goal scoring record was far from great for us but he did score a few times v hibs and had a few good performances. Wasn’t sad to see him go as if we are honest, he was never going to cut it with us. I think playing for a team against the odds will suit him. He offers something different. Despite him technically not being very good he has got the ability to create something out of nothing (Goal v Spurs) Obviously strength is his biggest asset and he is very powerful when he gets the opportunity to run. Not having many touches of the ball and often left one on one with a defender with lots of space in behind will probably suit him. Also with no high expectations or pressure on him from a team like Wycombe. For us we were on the front foot, expected to win every week so there was a pressure and expectation there, we had lots of the ball, teams defended deep against us so doesn’t really suit his overall game. Never mind the fact that he got nothing from referees! If he had a good touch and was better technically he would be playing at a higher level good luck to him down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, seemed a nice guy and a bit of a handful for defenders but spent most of the time on the ground and was a very poor footballer. I’m not sure he can even strike a ball properly, always seemed to sclaff everything so a bit surprised he’s on penalties for Wycombe. Maybe that’s why he always seemed more interested in wrestling than playing football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It's strange, wasn't a fan. So awkward, ungainly, shit. However at ER when he was down the left wing against two he shows a lovely touch. Like a proper player. Even the roll to Hickey was nicely done, just caressed.

gorgieheart Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Shows you how little we have to talk about when we are regurgitating the same arguments over and over about this very limited "footballer" He was clearly brought in to do a specific job, which he showed he was incapable of doing. Just an aside to his on field antics, I took my son to a calendar singing event where the bulk of the 1st team squad were in attendance, all of them fully engaging with the kids smiling, chatting , very happy to have photos taken....all of them bar.. Uche, had a face like a slapped @rse throughout the whole thing..pathetic attitude for a so called professional. That coupled with his very basic footballing "ability" means he wasn't missed and still isn't. Hilarious how these trumpets who follow Wycombe think he is the saviour.

Spellczech Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 On 31/01/2021 at 21:19, been here before said: He didnt really. He fired a hopefull ball over the 6 yard box, it took a lucky bounce off a Spurs defender and landed luckily at the strikers feet. He didnt even look up when he knocked the ball over. The ricochet off the defender could just as easily ended up in the stand or behind the striker or an og... No change there then. Frustrating lack of awareness was his main problem...

BackOfTheNet Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 “No, it’s the children who are wrong”. Lots of Principal Skinner’s on this forum. Too many on here have went over the top about how bad they think Ikpeazu is that when news like this comes out they double down out of stubbornness. Maybe if folk weren’t too OTT about his weaknesses then they wouldn’t be like that. He’s no world beater, that’s clear. But he’s now going to be signed by two Championship sides and for a reason. And they’re not signing him because he’s a bad player. I’m not saying people should be admitting they’re wrong. Football is about opinions and of course it’s possible for a player to improve upon his performances he had for us since he left. But the doubling down is unnecessary.

Saint Jambo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 A sell on fee would be nice, but with a reported initial fee of £750k, even a high 25% sell on fee would only be around £185k. A nice bonus, but hardly a game changing amount of money for this season's budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical, but not ram. I can’t think of anyone at Cardiff when I saw them in the Premier League - which admittedly wasn’t that much.

i8hibsh Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) A very strange player. Build like a brick shithouse, bags of skill, good close control, a real presence up front and a nightmare for defenders. However he is quite awful some weeks and unpalyable the next. His scoring could be a lot better too but he does score crucial goals when it counts. I really liked him and loved how we had him even for a short while. However, I wouldn't like him in our team now as we would change our style to suit him and I don't want that.

I think Stendel made it clear to him, as he did with others, that he was not part of his plans. But I also saw him being quite effective as an impact sub under Stendel. I think his confidence was low (never quite regained pre-injury form which didn’t help, as fans had been calling him a huddy well before Stendel came in) but I remember him being useful and trying. Maybe trying too hard in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
