Zappa 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You can't make a judgement on a player over such a small number of games anyway. If it was 40 goals in 80 appearances it would be quite impressive, but 4 in 8 isn't really worth talking about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The fact that he played such a small number of games leads me to reiterate that he was a complete waste of money, but it's easy to see that in hindsight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Regardless of games played though... to suggest he scored "plenty of goals" for us was flat out inaccurate. A good ratio but definitely not plenty of goals. Must you be so pedantic. It's plain as the nose on my face that he didn't score 20 goals+, but for the amount he played he did score a fair contribution and vital ones at that. Ya nitpicker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Without him scoring those 4 goals I doubt whether we'd have won the league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I was nit picking - but I also happen to think that in this case it was a gaping suggestion you made. As I said though, no doubt he scored some vital goals and I definitely agree we have seen worse strikers than him at Ibrox. For me, though, he was a poor man's Kris Boyd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had played say 80 games then I'd say you could compare Velicka and Boyd. :boogie: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, how many did Boyd score in his first 8 games for us... more or less than Velicka When we signed him I asked a Jambo friend about him and his exact words were "similar to Boyd but lazier and not as good a finisher". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was technically better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
