It's actually 10 in 31 starts and 7 sub appearance with 7 assists.

Going on that ratio he scores or sets up a goal every couple of matches.

I think hed be better than people think. Not saying hes the answer, but hed be an improvement on what we have. We need a big guy up there to hold up the ball, which we dont have, and itll allow players like vine and even helguson to do better. id actually be happy to sign him, especially on a free transfer. We do however need someone younger and prolific as well

[sirpiechucker]

He has 10 goals and 7 assists in 2744 minutes of football this season which equates to a goal/assist every 160 mins which isn't bad.

Blackstock has 13 goals and 2 assists in 2797 minutes of football this season which equates to a goal/assist every 186 mins.

look blackstock has been pants for us so lets not get greedy. Im sure Adebola will do more than f all that blackstock has been offering us. I also think we need a poacher with lots of pace to play along side him.

I'm not sure how scoring more goals than the rest of our strike force combined equals pants. At 22 Blackstock has the opportunity to improve does Adebola at 33? Will his legs last the season?

I love the sound of Queens Park Codgers

Sirpie the fact is Blackstock hasn't improved and has gone backwards. If we get the 1.5 million for him then I would rather use that money to bring someone in with pace. I have seen trucks turn quicker than Blackstock, helguson and adebola so we need a poacher with pace to play along side the strengh and good hold up play of adebola. Unless you expect to see 2 decent full back that don't play hoof ball expect adebola to be a must!!

[Pyrford Ranger]

too old and not prolific enough anymore, better off keeping blackstock

How is scoring 13 goals this season after only scoring 6 the previous going backwards? How does scoring 45 goals at this level at only 22 years old make you "pants". Which by the way is more goals than Lita has and he is 24.

The club isn't rich - the owners are.

There is a HUGE difference.

I think a large dose of reality is needed and expectations of some need to be lowered.

[Robsondinho]

Adebola is not a bad player. He does he job well he is a nasty in your face player that defenders hate playing against. As people have said if we get the right player alongside him he could work wonders. Who that other player is is for a different discussion.

[vblockranger]

richest or not dont you think some ambition would be nice? if they are prepared to pay 15k in wages to that mongrel Fitz Hall then how about offering similiar to attract a a decent poacher with a bit of pace and quality first touch. Get Adebola in if you like but need the poacher to play with him.Dex or Helgusson aint good enough, they need far too many chances before they put the ball in the net.
