With Roy Hodgson scratching his head as to who to play up front, why not give Sulley a run out ? I believe that he is still with us and Sulley was once tipped as a future quality player. I know that he had some moves on loan to lower League Clubs where his contribution was judged to be less than spectacular but he did weigh in with some good goals. Although he seems to be regarded as a wide player, let's not forget that he was a regular goal scorer in his junior days when he played as a striker. What harm can it do in giving him a run out at this moment in time when we cannot score for love nor money ?

Hasn't grown into playing as a striker, too light weight and skillful enough to play on the wing. He played in the cup this season so it's not as if he has disappeared.

In the long term I don't know if he'll ever make it into the first team full-time. He looks championship level.

He's a winger. Played up front vs ipswich and was f***ing pony.

Agreed and I'm John Holmes.

What concerns me about this and numerous similar threads about various players is...how do "such players" get taken on by a premier league club in the first place? If they are (basically) "no good" and will never even be close to consideration for the first team, then what is their purpose?

Just call me Ron, in that case
