Whoosh what?

We could go on, but I think we agree 95% of the way Booth and folk are getting fed up.

Fair dos. Things can get misinterpreted on message boards easily. A lot of what was being said about Shearer I wasn't disagreeing with. I were just pointing out that Nikos one up front role was in a different way. So a bit unfair to blame him for those performances under SA.

I think those of us who can see potential in Niko are just a bit annoyed that he isn't anywhere near the first team. It would be acceptable if we had better, or in form strikers at the club.

Roberts has had several more seasons to shine in a blue and white shirt than all the other strikers, but his record is very poor. He played well after SA left him out of the squad, but then went back to his old self after signing a new contract. Amazingly most of the time he seems to feature. Frustrating.

That's bull,he is our best striker by a mile and that idiot kean has frozen him out for no reason,he will leave and i bet he comes back to haunt us next season,he's still young unlike roberts,benjani and roque(if we sign him) i think it's a disgrace the way he's been treated and we look a better team with him in it.

We really are in a sorry state of affairs then aren't we?

The truly confusing thing for me is the minutes to goals ratio Niko has had SINCE Kean took over.

As you asked

Since Kean took charge

KALINIC

5 starts, 2 sub appearances – 7 games/ 4 goals

Total time = 458 minutes – Goal every 114.5 mins

BENJANI

3 starts, 6 sub appearances (3 for less than 10 mins) – 9 games/ 2 goals

Total time = 363 minutes – Goal every 181.5 mins

It doesn't really matter if you like him or not one thing is certain and its that him and his agent have made their mind up to go in the summer - and this is brilliant news for us.

I doubt very much that any club will be jumping at the chance to sign him at the moment no matter what rubbish his agent spouts he wont mean anything to anyone as things stand. What he needs now are games to put himself in the shop window and good luck to him I hope he does it.

Get him starting (with someone along side him) at the weekend and lets go for it. Yes he may struggle against City or Utd coming up - most will but an under strength Everton team (yes the same under strength team that thumped wolves last week) should be there for the taking.

Go on mate - show us what you are made of (If Kean lets you)

"What we are saying to him is can he consistently go and train and play well and keep on the pitch by putting yourself in the team first, putting yourself about and getting yourself opportunities to show how good a player you are."

say what ?

"I certainly think that international trips don't do him any favours"

So international players is unwanted ?

He's still not good enough in my humble opinion TGM.

I'm not saying he is or he isn't, but he deserves much more of a chance than he's getting after scoring 4 in his last 6.

If he carries on scoring at anything like the rate he's been scoring in the 15 games he's played this season, he's definitely good enough to play up front for Blackburn Rovers.

Of all our strikers, I think you will find that Niko has the best goals / game record throughout his career.

IMO, without question, he should be our first choice.

What we need is very simple - goals and RSC is not delivering.

Is Kean some sort of psychiatrist as well as a pretend manager?.. that's the second player about who he's said recently 'his head isn't in the right place' !!

More Clement Freud than Sigmund Freud I think :wacko:

It's highly ironic how Kean is saying this about his players :rolleyes:
