    To be fair to Leigh, he has worked so hard to get himself into the position of first choice striker.
    He must take massive credit for the work he has put in and has dealt with the adverse publicity for stupid off field antics.

    His attitude has been first class and he has seized his chance.

    Well we could spend 10 mil on Bangura,Pukki,Balde,Micu,Lassad et al(wages included),but I think I could safely say that Griffith has already scored more than all above already.:50:

    Anything other than that to add......? Nah, didn't think so.:50:

    Still to hear why you think we can't do any better than Griffiths.

    Well let's be honest what has gudetti done in his career to merit all the praise he gets on here ? He's been pish for months and even when he was scoring he wasn't great he was just decent.

    If any other player never scored in 12 would you still be saying he's class etc ?

    Guys pish get over it

    I'm actually delighted with how Griffiths has been playing, and against most teams on Thursday I would be happy for him to start, I just strongly believe Guidetti is more suited to how we'll need to play against Inter. That being said, if Griffiths starts and plays well I will gladly admit I was wrong.

    It's the slagging of Guidetti which I cannot understand. He has shown that on form he is clearly a quality player, I don't see how that can be argued. People who were singing his praises a few months now have completely reversed and actually seem to take satisfaction when he misses a chance/when Griffiths scores.

    I've already said in other threads why I think he's a better player, as have others. No going to go over it all again for the * millionth time.

    He's not pish. Stop talking *. That's just a standard response because you can't think of anything * better to say to support your argument.

    Once again, why can't we do better than Leigh Griffiths?

    why do you keep trying to look for a bigger picture ?? :smiley-laughing002:

    some of us want guidetti playing because we think he will hold the ball up better and keep possesion . stop exaggerating everything .

    You have yet to prove to me why he's not * ? What has he done in his career to justify the Hardon you have for him

    I don't need to * prove it.

    Simply calling a player like him '*' doesn't deserve a response. I could agree/respond to you if you were actually making some decent points but other than 'guys pish' and 'he's *' oh and 'you've got a hard on for him' your not providing much to work with.

    20 goals in 23 games for Feyenoord. There was a stage where he couldn't stop scoring this season. He is only 22, yeah pure *..

    Id say Guidetti isn't * but he's played *.

    He is a decent allround footballer, similar to Stokes but with added height and power so should be better than Stokes at worst and more capable of leading the line and playing up front. But so far he's not done much at all, he's capable of being a lot better than he's shown.

    Hes actually been like Balotelli at Liverpool. Where Balotelli on his day is world class but if you'd never seen him before he played for Liverpool you'd think he was absolute *.

    I agree with that last line..



    I wouldn't say he's played * on the whole at all, only during his barren spell..
    He was a major plus when the team wasn't clicking, thanks to his imagination, goals and winning us games..
