King prawn Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Nice guy and he’s a handful for defenders a few games a season but on the whole he’s a dreadful footballer. He can’t consistently dribble well, pass, score, hold up the ball without fouling someone or head it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxfee Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Getting an international call up might work out well for all of us. He’ll be in the shop window so could (if all goes well), be sold for a wee bit of money. Result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barcajambo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looked to cause defences problems when he first came by occupying an extra man but then teams cottoned on that he does very little in possession or gives a way a foul so stopped focussing on him as much I feel. For the Rangers game he was asked to attend despite not being in the squad, he chose to go out with his missus for a birthday meal, pretty disappointing from the big man if you ask me.

pettigrewsstylist Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Still think he could be used to ruffle feathers and the quality of Naismith, Boyce etc picking up 2nd balls and exploiting. Its all about systems, but it seemd like every one of Smiths crosses sailed into keepers arms, unchallenged, yesterday. He is the only one in squad with certain physical traits.

RustyRightPeg Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hopefully never plays for us again. One of the worst I've seen in a Hearts top. Specialties include, fouling and losing the ball.

amadjambo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I still think Uche would be a good option to have on the bench. He offers something completely different than everyone else, and could be useful. Doesn’t have the stamina to play for the start, and certainly not with the way Stendel wants us to play.

Holyrood_Hearts Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Another player at the club-like Washington, Boyce, Walker, Naismith, Maclean, Keena, Morrison, Meshino, Mulraney who haven’t contributed with enough goals per game. I know some on my list are already away but still he doesn’t do enough when he’s played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 3 right there from the last couple of years. And they are only the forwards. Uche has been no different from every other player recently which is why we are bottom. He has also played and scored v the vermin in big games and also v the newco. maybe his time is up but hardly one of the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowayjambo1874 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Uche has his strengths as well as his weaknesses. People are focusing on the latter at the moment however for a bit of balance I’ll ask a quick question. At the end of the match on Saturday when Meshino shat out of the challenge with their keeper do people honestly think the big man would not have went in fully committed? If he had that opportunity and scored then exactly the same people calling him crap just now would be demanding him to be in starting eleven on Wednesday!! He’s not the best but when he gets a head of steam on him he can be effective and dropping him to the bench and giving him 10-15 minutes might be worth a shout. Right now if we are chasing a game I would rather he was coming on than Meshino Donis or Walker. All about opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every signing has an element of risk no doubt. He had a couple of early games where he caused problems but then opposition defences soon sussed him out. If Stendel stays at Hearts I can't see Uche being part of his plans unless we are relegated and he might do better in the Championship.
