When the ball is played up to him, his first move is always to grab hold of the defenders jersey. This give the ref an easy option to penalize him. If he would just concentrate on getting the ball under control he may get on a bit better, cos he seemed to need 2,3,4 touches to control the ball, I think a lot of it caused by his fixation with grabbing hold of the defenders jersey Agree he is far better running at defenders., but do feel we can do better than him. Agreed that if Uche focused on playing football rather than wrestling with people he would do much better. Would also like to see him running at players again. Seems to have been poorly used and very poorly coached last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikpeazu Now I recon young Hickey will be away, and I would want a left/both footed centre back like Jimmy Dunne. 2 wingers like Roberts and 2 strikers. That’s a squad of 28 which should be cut down to 25. The midfield is a mix of wingers, right/left sided midfielders and centre midfielders. Obviously there are a few players I’d rather move on but then again that’s always the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 On the question of loan feesI cannot see any problem provided we received a final transfer fee SO we loan him out for a season and charge £2m to the receiving club for that privilege. At the end of that period we sell him to them for a Michael Stewart transfer fee of £1 which will net us 70p after Celtic get their 30% cut. Job done.

He was almost unplayable at times Uche is someone who is a very useful player either as first choice (depending upon who we are playing) or as a worthwhile alternative from the bench when things aren't going well. He was sometimes unplayable before his injury but like many, such as Naismith, Berra, Souttar etc., was unable to come back and hit the ground running. All 4 plus Haring should have gained restful benefit from the lockdown and therefore provide a strong platform not only to do well in the Championship but also to create space and opportunities for the likes of Cochrane, Irving, C Smith and McDonald to develop under less pressure.

Batistuta87 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Glad folk are agreeing about Uche. I think he will be key next season. An absolute destroyer on his day, and I think will re-establish himself as a favourite among the fans next season. Now onto another one I think will have a "resurrection" next season - and that's Olly Lee. He's going to feel like he has something to prove so I hope he works his socks off. I think he has the potential to be class if his head is in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it so many times, its clear defenders realise that they can hold him back and they will get the foul. You would think refs would review games and notice players are doing it and pick up on it. Edited August 10, 2020 by jamboinglasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
