Originally posted by mattteo Well, he's gaining cult status and he surely will not be sold this winter. He has hardly played and scored 2 times in the league and 2 times in the Cup, from center forward positions. I don't rate him much either, but he makes a decent sub. He still has 3 goals more than Benteke, in less than half the playing time He really isn’t, he is still useless, a fluke tap in that he nearly fluffed and a counter goal when we are 2 - 0 up at the the end of a match.

If Zaha had scored that I suspect many would say what a terrific strike it was taken first time with the ball coming across him, with the shot curled past Schmeichel into the top corner, albeit it went in via the post. But let's not get too carried away with Sako. Coming off the bench and scoring in successive games has this effect ! Edited by Willo (25 Dec 2017 11.11pm)

Edited by Willo (25 Dec 2017 11.11pm) Probably because Zaha has never had that in his locker, Sako has always had a great left foot and hits the ball well, problem is, that is literally the extent of his footballing ability.

Mattteo mate I don't quite know where you dream this stuff up? At night? At work? On the job or as you so eloquently posted to Willo 'whilst knocking one out' The only cult status that Bakery Sako might be gaining is flash football boots, haircuts and motors! As for that left foot shot he possesses or had, I believe he has forgotten how to use it! Other Prem clubs with 3 or more strikers all vying for a start each week would love to be pushing for a start in our squad. Wouldn't have much competition would they!

Cult hero status mentioned here after his performance against Leicester: [Link] Don't be an ass next time you reply or you'll be given the same treatment. As for the PL teams with 3 strikers, I agree, but how many of them are bug lumps? I haven't seen a regular 2 big lumps up-front formation since Stoke back in the day with Ricardo Fuller and Kenwayne Jones. Man Utd tried playing with both Ibrahimovic and Lukaku last night. They were 2 down at halftime. Against Burnley! Lingard came on at half time for Ibrahimovic, scored 2 and they didn't concede another. I'm not saying another striker isn't needed. I'm saying some of Benteke, Sako and Connor Wickham should leave. And Sako leaving is not happening after 4 goals in like 20 minutes of gametime, no matter how much you or I want it

How about we sign a couple of fit strikers and see them perform before we sell more of our forwards.

Calvin Andrew is seen as a cult figure by some now despite the fact he is the worst striker I have ever had the misfortune of watching play for red and blue. Sako leaving is absolutely a possibility, the fact he can’t get in to the team when we have literally no other options tells you something. Where are you getting 4 goals from? Are you including the cup matches agains crap teams including the one we lost? Sako is the second worst player in our 25 after Mutch, and truth be told, neither of them should be in the 25 second half of the season
