Think he'll score 8 goals. 6 in play and 2 goals will be awarded to him via the Dubious Goal Committee.

Holy gently caress he's unironically worse than I thought. Almost every pass is misplaced, very poor first touch and he doesn't look very agile. He had one good shot but he still needed 3 touches to make the turn.

2011/2012
Graziano Pellè scored 1 goal for Parma in Serie A in 11 matches and then got loaned out to Sampdoria who plays in Serie B. There he managed 4 goals in (including play-offs) 16 matches. A total of 5 goals in 27 matches.

2012/2013
Summer window arrives and Pellé gets sold to Feyenoord. Here he manages to score 27 goals in 29 matches. Eredivisie goals count for nothing.

Reminder: Jozy Altidore is superior to any English striker.

Hm, but the absolute shite that is Welbeck has already scored two goals in the league? That's more than an infinite amounts of goals more than Jozy has. loving Frazier Campbell has scored 2 goals.

Do you also have these stats for Robin van Persie, Luis Suarez,or maybe Arjen Robben?

Yes. RvP scored 15 goals in 61 matches, Robben 24 goals in 78 matches and Suarez is a racist mental case. Notice how they didn't score a million goals proving that the best strikers don't score a million goals in Eresdivisie.

Yes but according to your logic the less goals you score the better striker you are so i'm not quite convinced there

21 goals in 30 matches seems like a lot of goals? But belge got the point. You can't judge strikers in Holland on the amount of goals they score, rather on their technique, dribbling ability, work rate and so forth. And even then there's still some doubt if a player can cut it in a proper league.

For an alternative viewpoint on young Josmer, I recommend checking out the threads on a certain US-based "big" "soccer" forum

God drat, they have a 5 page long match day thread just living posting about Jozy. Nothing really funny, just stupid poo poo like

quote:

Btw, Jozy doing work up top has created a lot of room for his teammates. Exactly what you want from target striker. Keep defenders occupied.

He really looks like a player for long stretches, but for a number of reasons, he can't get on the board.

Jozy is good enough to start for a dozen Prem sides. Why did it have to be Sunderland.

This thread is pathetic, how can people who devote so much time to a sport, struggle so badly with analysing a match "hur dur he hasnt scored a garl yit so therefore he iz fkn shite"

A striker is measured by the amount of goals they score, not on some loving silly stat like aerial duels won.

Sunderland plays like a bunch of neanderthals which goes hand in hand with the way English fans think the game should be played. Hopefully their new boss can actually get them to play a game of soccer not using tactics from the 1950's in which case Jozy will show his worth.

quote:

He needs to be like Dennis Rodman..Rodman would always box out and try to get himself in between the hoop and the defender, so when the rebound comes down, he has a better chance of getting it since he's already in front of the defenders......Jozy never tries to get in front of defenders when the ball is whipped or crossed low.

quote:

People having a go at Jozy right now are clowns... their are probably 5-10 MLS teams with better midfields than S'land. That's not a knock against the MLS either it's just ridiculously hard to score in the EPL and the players who do without a stud midfield are guys like Drogba, RVP, Suarez... and those guys are on another level of which Jozy isn't at... yet (hopefully it comes).

You say that But if you actually watch what S'land has been doing - Jozy is getting the ball from his teammates, or at least they are trying to get it to him (The ManU goal was from a pass to Jozy who was crashing far post that was underhit, cut out by the CD and then rebounded to S'land on the goal box line.)
