Shocking play from him there

Skinner, what is your purpose on this forum? I see you have been here for 12 days and most your posts are in this thread, I wonder if your IP adress would turn out to be the same as another poster on here.

for me Zigic will need to adapt and learn a lot if he's to be - as he says - better than Crouch.

2 acclaimed commentators / pundits on the BBC, Alan Green and Pat Nevin have described Zigic as a 'plonker' (Green) and possessing the 'tough of an elephant' (Nevin) and watching his matches so far i can't disagree too much with that.

he's absolutely no pace, which is a concern for me as we need to inject more pace into our football if we're to do well. he peeled off very well to set up Serbia's goal but missed a number of headers and really hasn't looked very good at all.

i'm also not sure his fellow players have much confidence in him as he should have been Serbia's main outlet today when Germany went to 10 men but he wasn't used that way at all.

looks poor and sluggish... i just hope he's better for Blues.

only time will tell.... **thumbup


To be honest though, look at some of the spainish players and especially some of the french players so far,

Do they look worth there stupid transfer figures...No

so it is always hard to tell until he plays for us...

He is just about what i expected... **thumbup nothing more or nothing less

To be honest how many people complain about crouch...and he is a useful player...and causes loads of problems against teams...

He is exactly what i expected...and he will create chances and score goals for us....that is what we needed was it not...if he was a Messi then we would be playing a little more for him than we did...

To be honest he is a good striker to have in your team and is a player which we will bring in other strikers with once are team gets stronger and stronger in debth..

True the Spurs fans moan about Crouch all the time and call him rubbish on their forums but the guy is a very good target man....I am sure we will give Zigic 100% faith as we are nowhere as fickle as Spurs fans. **thumbup

I didn't watch the match but have just seen his assist.

But, talksport are slating zigic saying that it's a good job KP has signed on for another year because he is that bad. Slow, bad touch, awareness.

Also reading other forums on the match and everyone is laughing at us for signing him.

OMG, has mcleish dropped a huge clanger?

The jury is well and truly out.

Zigic had a mediocre game today. One qood assist, a couple of passes that should have been converted, and one missed header that should've been bulging the net. Overall, a 6 or 7 out of 10 game.

What worries me is his lethargic style, which will get him slaughtered by some fans. If they call McFadden lazy, what the heck are they gonna say about Zigic?

Serbian style of play doesn't help him - very slow build up and no support being played as the single striker.

I hope that he was conserving energy due to temperature and altitude - can't be much fun being lone striker in those conditions.

With a pacy partner, Jerome and/or other, it could cause chaos in opposing defences especially if we have quick midfield support arriving, e.g. Bowyer for one.

So, Zigic may not have been tremendously impressive, but he set up the goal, set up another outstanding chance that should have been a goal, and headed against the bar. All this against a top side in Germany, and with his own side being so negative and virtually devoid of attacking ideas! Can't be bad imo.

McLeish will have more tactical nous than the Serbian Coach and have more skillfull players at his disposal.

Given all the above, 'let's look on the bright side of life...........' :)

Bring him on............. :ball:

Skinner is a Huddersfield fan who came on here to ask about Lee Carsley.

Bloody hell it's always a case - nobody can say the slightest thing against Blues or a Blues player.

At least his view is not influenced bt blue specs.

It's rather funny that the neutral doesn't think he's that good, the BBC pundits don't think he's that good, the TalkSport pundits don't think he's that good but the usual bluespeccers on here think he's great.

As I said earlier, it looks as though he is the replacement for Marcus Bent. Let's hope not, but he doesn't help himself.

Hardly surprising that he's not match fit considering the game time he's had for Valencia this season. Definitely needs some work from our fitness bods in pre-season to get him ready for the Premier League.

I thought he was extremely useful, not sure what the problem was. He won the ball in the air more often than not, got an assist and linked up play between the forwards and the midfield.

I think it's more a case of lets not make a judgement until we've seen him fully fit, settled in prem and wearing a blues shirt. No point writing him off before he gets here is there?

Lowds you are proof that anyone can say what they like about Blues or a Blues Player...just some choose not to agree or to reserve judgement and trust in the decisions made by a Manager with a little more footballing nous than a load of ex footballers who contribute Nothing to the game since retiring...and some armchair footballing talent spotters.

Carry on the good work...you would rather leap to the defence of a possible Hudds fan than defend the views of one of your own...thats what i like about you.

My sixpennorth, for the first time I've seen him...

Did well to set up the goal, should have scored with the easy chance that he headed against the bar.

Apart from that he looked slow and lumbering and - surprisingly for his size - weak.

On that display alone he looked short of the Prem class we need from him. A bit of work to do methinks.

Can Zigic actually sprint? I mean, is he physically able to do it?

he can, but to be honest he has look tired since the 60th minute...what the temperature and what is the altitude...???

The German squad looks knackered as well...it looks like hard work out there...

I originally thought (hoped?) temperature and altitude may have an effect, but the stadium is at sea level and today's temperature is 19degrees! Therefore not a factor. A full pre-season and a different style of play should have a positive outcome and we must remember that Serbia are a very poor team indeed.
Here's hoping Serbia don't reach the next stage in order that Zigic will be able join up at start of pre-season without any extra time off.

My mistake, im always weary of a new poster that is the accompanied by a quote from you. Just the way it is.
All the pundits, reporters etc were shouting what a great signing blues had made and how shrewd McLeish was to get the deal put through before the world cup. Then 2 games in they cant wait to stick the boot in, like yourself and say he is rubbish. Lets write him off and liken him to marcus bent before he has even kicked a ball shall we, after all a Huds fan thinks he is terrible therefore he must be ,right? tomatoes

Know it's none of my business but I haven't been impressed with him at all in the two games

Looks extremely lazy, his hold up play isn't too cracky for someone of his size and you'd think he'd win more than he does in the air

Can't see him ripping up any trees in the Premiership


**thumbup a good observation from a neutral.

I am beginning to think we've bought Zigic to take over from Marcus Bent. :o

I'm beginning to think your hoping he is the new Bent **thumbup
