I've given him more chances than most to prove he has at least some ability but I give up.
This bloke is fucking useless, he just runs towards the player with the ball.
He is a downgrade on Carlton Cole.

Looked much improved in his unnatural lone striker role last night. At times he needed 3 or 4 seamless touches just to play his way out of the crowd and deliver a ball to someone. Actually used his body a couple of times and rose well to use his chest and head.
Zarate and he couldn't be further apart in terns of wavelengths, but in the last ten they had a couple of linkages.

That goal at Tottenham aside, he has been a massive disappointment.
It's his languid style that annoys me the most. It's ok if you have the talent of Berbatov, but otherwise it just makes him look lazy and disinterested.
Perhaps he has just been managed badly but I've not seen enough from him in the games he has played to suggest as much.

Now that Diafra Sakho could be recieve a three match ban, and that Zarate has an injury, it seems that we might have to turn to Maiga.Problem is if he included in the Europa squard that would make him cup tied, thus less marketable of getting shot if any other European sides might be interested in him. Bilić got a lot of thinking to do in the next couple of days....

Re: Maiga

I would be very surprised if Maiga was actually an Allardyce signing just because he was brought in under his reign.
I expect it was a committee signing from the owners etc but BFS turned him into a pile of shit by doing what he does best with strikers and playing them out wide to accommodate Carroll or Cole.
We've had some half decent strikers over the last few years that haven't lived up to their potential simply because we buy them as a striker BFS doesn't play them as a striker.
Valencia was a victim to some degree last season.

Not debating that they don't rate him and he's likely gonna leave but the reason he isn't in the Europa squad is more down to the fact he was playing for Mali in June thus he didn't have to report back until last Monday.

I was generally supportive of Sam but don't think Maiga got a fair shake under him, especially in the second season. He was forced to play a role he didn't know how to play and it looked like it affected his confidence. I reckon he deserves a clean slate under a new boss.

Sakho was included in the early games because he didn't play the end of the season due to injury, so this is basically his recovery period and getting fit.

"only striker at the Irish training camp"
And that say's everything you need to know. If the club had any faith in the guy then they would have put him in the Europa League squad instead of Sakho and utilised him that way.
They don't fancy him against a shit team from Andorra which tells you everything.

Have a mate in Ireland who has been to some of the sessions says he has looked okay. As someone else mentioned, only striker at the Irish training camp. By all accounts they are trying to move him on and bring in someone else though.

If he isn't starting up front against Colchester then there ain't much hope for him cos we have no-one else at present.
