The next best thing that a striker can do other than scoring the winning goal is to provide the assist for the winning goal.

'nuff said.

Didn't stop some people criticising Chucho at every opportunity.

Only Pooley criticised Benitez. He's heightist.

As for Zigic have most of you not thought why so many pundits are critiscising him? Could it be that he is not that good?

Just a thought.

He played well. Setup One goal. Setup an easy opportunity and hit the Crossbar.

Can't complain if he does that for Blues.

I was vindicated though by both the fact since he has left us no-one has expressed the slightest interest in him (on a perminant deal) plus God agreed with my assessment of chucho and mirrored almost word for woird what I said about him

here we go, another post that will only end up dividing everybody. from what i have read about Zigic on here posters seem to be offering an honest, fair opinion and not slating the player...

commentators and pundits have offered a lot to the argument with comments like 'he's a plonker' and 'he has the first touch of an elephant' so i think of a forum like this it's the right place to question a new player we've signed.

stop trying to sanitise opinion... :banghead:

lacking match fitness IMO - and being caught out at the biggest football tournament on the Planet.

Blues will sort this out **thumbup

i like the way zigic plays....yeah he looks lazy but anyone would if u are the tallest in the tournament lol....his touch of the ball is good and he shows vision when he makes a pass...and today he did good against the german defence which means he has the ability to do against anyone in the premiership...KRO

amazingly you don't hear these people slagging off Rooney for his contribution in the world cup so far, and he's scored as many goals as Zigic so far in the competition.

Can I add that he has been playing as a sole striker? That's a very difficult job, and it needs a specific type of player to do it.

From what I've seen of him, I highly doubt whether he's been brought to Blues to play alone up front.

Give him a partner, give him a chance, FFS.

I worry that Zigic may be the kind of player that our fans end up getting on the back off if he doesn't bang in the goals quickly. Big price tag and big reputation, but at his height etc he's not going to be a Messi-esque figure running round displaying tricks and skills etc. I may be wrong but he seems like he could be the kind of player who looks like they aren't doing a fat lot most of the game, but then pops up with goals. But a 6'8 player is going to be lumbering around, they're not going to be zipping from box to box.

He will be regarded similar to Crouch - some will rate and some will not rate him!

If he scores half a dozen goals and provides a dozen assits, then he will, imo, have paid for his fee. I believe though (hope?) that he will reach double figures. If Zigic can do that and another forward can also reach double figures, then imo Blues will be safe from relegation and in all likelihood have made small, but significant, progress from last season.

Come on Zigic my son **thumbup

from what i've seen in 2 games in a very hit-and-miss Serbia team

Pros

-tough to beat in the air
-very composed on the ball, can dribble, doesn't rush
-looks like he can get the goals (but was unlucky in his WC games IMO)
-holds the ball up well and allows players to join attacks
-not afraid to get stuck in and does his part defensively


Cons

-permanently jogging, blistering runs through the middle just arent his game
-plays too deep
-SOME positioning issues, slow to join in attacks that are ahead of him (kinda linked with the first point really)
