Fullcrock

[northbankboy68]

Hmm!  Sullivan brought us:

Ashton
Carroll
Fullcrock
Dire
....any others?
 

[Vexed]

Yeah they're both fucking shit. Add Lopetegui to that list too. Cunts. 

[CanningTownWA]

Vexed, I think Fullkrug is similar to Ings in that he is old, slow and expensive and not really what we need.

[Vexed]

Fullkrug doe’s seem a strange signing considering we already had a similar type of player in Ings.  ie one that is  in the same age bracket, not speedy or suitable to our “style” .  
I can’t believe how much money the club has wasted on forwards over the years and we keep repeating the same thing time and time again.  
In just the last few years we have burned money on Haller, Scammacca, Ings and Fullkrug and bought Benrahma at the time when we could have had Watkins instead and who would have lasted for 6-7 years.
To think what might have been achieved if that had happened is a crying shame.

How is Ings similar to Fullkrug?! 

[Vexed]

Fullkrug, Steidten, Lopetegui, Sullivan, all your mums:

CUNTS. 

[Massive Attack]

Wasn't Watkins failing at Villa and out of the team before Emery arrived.. Just goes to show what a decent coach can do with a so called bad striker. 

And flogged us Ings in the process...

But not quite, he was used as a wide Forward instead whilst Gerrard preferred to preserve with Ings up top. It was really Emery that converted him in to an out and out Striker long term whilst deciding to offload an ageing Ings to us. 

Emery, the one that got away and the one I was shouting from the rooftops for us to go after around that time too. Alas we chose to stick with the Gutless One. 

[CanningTownWA]

Massive, I agree regarding Haller and Scamacca (both good players) and the wasted money on them by not utilising them is criminal.

All I'd say to that is Scamacca and Haller were more than good enough for us, it was a failure by the manager to get the best out of them/us as a Team. 

When we do actually get it right in the Striker market, we still fail miserably.

Agree on the rest.

I too called out this signing as ridiculous at the time. It seemed like nothing more than a panic buy as Sillivan dithered and refused to fork out the money for Duran, so they desperately turned their attention to this bloke on the back of scoring a couple of goals in the Euros.

Borussia Dortmund must have been laughing all the way to the bank to flog this fella for such a profit after one season.

Yet again, the club is a total laughing stock thanks to Sillivan, 'guru Tim' and 'loser Lop's' summer antics.

[Lee Trundle]

If it was Steidten that suggested him, then Arsenal are welcome to him.

[Massive Attack]

Nobody knows if he has what it takes to be effective in our league. Looked like it was going to take him a fair while to acclimatise, now will have to do so after coming back from an injury too and at the age of nearly 32... Doesn't look good... 

No it don't. And that was the other issue I had with it, I'm all for allowing players time to acclimatise, but when you're knocking on at 31/32 in his 1st season, he doesn't have much time to do that without producing it soon after. No matter any way I looked at it, I couldn't see much logic to paying what we did and compounding it further with a long 4 year contract on big money. And the Club thought Duran would be an expensive gamble......

Fullkrug when fit will have to soon produce the goods once back if he's to justify what we've spent now, otherwise it'll be one of the worst signings of the season we're lumbered with. Big pressure to succeeed now.

I thought it a terrible signing at the time and was gob smacked at the fee.  This and the Brazilian kid has made me doubt Steidten, but if it's true that Arsenal want him he must be doing something right.

Yep, like you I raised big concerns in the summer about dropping close to £30M plus his £10M+ 4 year contract we're stuck with should he fail to live up to big expectations. A big gamble I just couldn't see much value in going for, especially as I knew he had a suspect injury record before arriving.

When he eventually comes back, he's going to have to hit the ground running and start producing to justify the outlay, otherwise it's a total fuck up.

He does have the ability, it's just whether he can stay fit long enough and transfer it into a demanding Premeir League which is the worry.

[El Scorchio]

How does this happen to us time and again? Sign a player, they barely play, and then get a long term injury. It's fucking ridiculous

[ironsofcanada]

Watching Lazio-Porto

Hasn't had much to work with this particular game but...

if only Omorodion....
 

[Manuel]

If he needed an op I suspect he would have one already. Fancy he will be back this weekend, or latest at Forest.

This aged well. Prescient insights Manuel!

Fuck off you cսnt.

[Lee Trundle]

I bet he couldn't believe his luck when he got a 4 year contract from us.

Just saw these comments from 'Loser Lop' from his Everton pre-math press conference today:

"Fullkrug is out. He is not ready. He is not working with us, so I think he's going to be out for a lot of time more, unfortunately. I am no doctor so I don't know [Fullkrug will be out for exactly]. He started with a little injury, but step by step it has become more complicated, and it's true that now, with the new treatment, he has to be out for the next two or three weeks, but I don't know exactly, because it depends what else he's going to have with the treatment."

Sounds like 'Loser Lop' doesn't have a scooby doo when Fullkrug will be back. What a disaster of a signing. Heads should roll for this.

Does he have to do pre English before a game as well?

[simons]

Shocking waste of money, and will leave us scraping around for a bargain buy striker come January because of the amount spunked on this crock.
