I stand corrected. But ultimately the question is why is he not getting minutes? He’s obviously not doing something in training to merit getting picked - maybe suggest attitude?
He's just not that good and comparing him with ALF is laughable
I didn’t compare his ability -I’m just saying that whilst ALF scores goals everywhere there was something not right he became nomadic - always mystified me he did
He played nearly 100 games each for 3 clubs then had a few loan spells late in his career. Bit of a journeyman but no Leon Clarke, I think he was one of those strikers not quite Championship level
He never made the jump despite scoring goals it was weird - Jordan Rhodes was the same
Tranmere obviously watched him play before deciding to offer him a loan period - Why give him 45 mins in 4 or 5 months it borders on disrespectful - He may or may not be good enough to make the step to league football but if you take a guy out of his family environment to live miles away in Tranmere give the guy a chance to impress - If he had stayed at Cov no doubt he would be banging goals in the U23 - everyone but be then screaming to give him a chance in our first team -
Fuck sake, he's 21 and it's 2 hours away from Cov.
To put into context - Robins believes Baka is a better player than Ponticelli.
Professional managers are not always correct and many times are wrong about a player - The player has to fit into the style of play of that manager which is decided before he joins as they would have watched him previously and also fit into the new area he is suddenly living in - The way it should work is that you either stay with your permanent club and fight for a place in the first team by good showings in the U23 or playing in the likes of the EFl cup or go out on loan and show up well with your loan club. Loans can accelerate your development into your permanent clubs, first team, on your return - However you do not expect to just attend training sessions and I would not have thought Cov city who handed Ponticelli a 4-year contract and paying majority of his wages to be developing his trade in training sessions as they may as well kept him at Ryton
Why? He's not eligible to play against us. And the game is on January 1st.
Which is also when his loan ends.
Disagree completely, he's not even in the same league as Chaplin literally
Perfect I would say.
I meant to play against them
Weird suggestion, but in that case, the same question - why? If/when he returns he will at best be 5th (probably 6th) choice striker now they are all fit.
