Britt Assombalonga

Very unfair, some of these posts. Compare him to Gestede, for example, and we had a gem. We didn’t play to his strengths, and therefore didn’t get the goals that we could have. He certainly was not as bad as some make out.
No there not unfair , they are blatantly true , biggest pile of shoite to ever play for the club
 
Not at all.
I've spoken to him lots of times at Rockliffe - nice lad.
Rubbish player all the same.
I have also been in his company, Tubby isn’t a word I would use to describe him or rubbish. It’s not his fault we paid 8-9 million too much for him.
 
Isn’t he our top Riverside goal scorer?
Yes he is the top absolute scorer since we moved to The Riverside.
He is our record signing and played a lot because of that. He stayed the full 4 years of his contract because nobody ever wanted to sign him.
Only Marvin Emnes made more league appearances as a striker than Assombolonga since we moved to The Riverside. 152 apearances.
He has a better record of goals per game than Emnes, but actually inferior to Scott Macdonald who was here just half a season less.

Bamford had a better goals per game ratio, then pulis wasted him and forced him out.

Viduka, Hasselbaink, Yakubu, Boksic, Ricard, Ravanelli have all scored at a better rate than Assombolonga did and in a higher league of course.
 
Yes he was
True he was nowhere near as bad as Gestede and plenty of other signings we've made of late for that matter either.

His problem, although he hardly came up with his own price tag, was that he cost the club 15m which pound for pound represents pi$s poor value for money.
 
He’s good against the cannon fodder in the league crap against anyone half decent. Not his fault we paid 15M and at least unlike Ashley “there’s a player in there” (there isn’t) Fletcher he was generally available for games and not nursing a fractured finger nail.
Yep flat track bully
