Jeez Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Surely that had to be his last game for us. Can’t see him signing a new contract or extension if he has offers, which no doubt he will have & club will cash in as that is the model. What a great character & solid player he’s been for us, yeah he misses a few but his work rate is always & so unfortunate to not have had a quality 2nd striker alongside for most of his time here. Going to miss the big fella Cheers Fam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Probably our most improved player this season. I've never been his greatest fan, but this year his control and movement have been much better and his defensive contribution at set pieces has been worth it's weight in gold.

Smokey Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Player of the season and top scorer. I like him. Works hard and always has a smile on his face. Congrats Big fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 No need to rule anything out. New manager could have a big say on keeping some we're resigned to losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Would love him to stay another couple of years. Guess it depends what offers we get. He won’t go to the Prem; but consistent links with Turkey won’t go away and he may fancy the coin in Qatar. Hope to see him stay here, but if we get an offer of £5/6m then he’ll be gone.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I hope we're trying hard to keep him. But while we've heard a lot about interest in him, in the current climate will that translate into an acceptable bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 With Afobe on his way I think we would be mad not to offer him a new deal. For what he gives us both as a focal point for the attack, as well as our best defender at set pieces we won’t get better than him without spending a huge sum of money. Genuinely lovely bloke, too.

Matthew me Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Love Fam, I get the feeling he's great in the changing room and keeps the team positive. We'd miss him greatly and I suspect that we will hold onto him. Scores all sorts of goals...his header at QPR was amazing! I almost missed it as went out for a coffee!

ProfitInMyPocket Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 40 goals in 3 seasons, great return. He is our best striker and i'd love him to stay but that might have been a farewell goal today. Don't really have affinities with players in the recent squads we have had but Fam is that player who will always put everything in and this season has come on leaps and bounds in improving his overall play.

Admin phantom Posted July 22, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wonder if the massive support he got in reaction to the disgusting tweet and winning the player of the year award may tempt him to hang around?

Hello Dave Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Is he as good as everyone on this thread is saying? Granted he works hard( but that’s the least any player should do), his touch is awful, he chases when he wants to, and he misses a lot of chances. I don’t think he’s a bad player, but if we’re looking to go up , he’s not the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said the new guy will almost certainly have trusted players he’d like to resign and maybe Famara won’t be in his plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Bcfc Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Most of his best performances have came away from home when we’ve been really backs against the wall (Wigan and QPR immediately jump out from this season, Derby last season). I think that’s why some fans have a lesser opinion of him than others, having maybe only watched him in the home games. Good Championship striker and still in his peak years, would be a huge shame to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know me Graham that I’ve been pretty critical of Fam, but also defended him in saying we don’t play to his strengths either. Under Holden I’ve seen flashes of things Fam did at Angers. He is not a target man. Tonight, again, he got ball into feet, and was able to back on, get his man too tight, and then roll him. He hasn’t really done that all season. Financially, unless we are gonna get £6-8-10m, then you start to think extending his contract might be the best choice. If you extended by 2 years, that £1.25m (£5m / 4) amortised cost of the final year gets split into three. Suddenly his 4th year saves us £0.8m...albeit commits us to £0.4m in years 5 and 6.

Superjack Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 If he is to leave, then I thank him. Undoubtedly my favourite player since his arrival. What could have been if he had played under a different manager for us. I still hope that he will. And I will also thank this forum. One of the reasons I think that he has been my favourite player has been the often unjust criticism he has received when playing for someone who didn't utilise him properly. He has been a beacon of light in a ton of manure as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 20 goal championship striker is worth a lot more than the 5 million people are quoting his price will be. The real beauty is that those 41 are made up of 14 (13 league) in his first season, 13 (all league) last season, and 14 (12 league) this season. If you look the spread as well the goals come evenly across a season. He rarely scores 2 or a hat trick but on the flipside his longest (league) goal drought is a mere 6 games. He's not the perfect striker. He's poor one-on-one, doesn't get many assists, and is prone to a red card. But he's just so steady. That kind of metronomic scoring is useful, and expensive to replace. He's not spectacular, he doesn't play pretty football; but he's damn good at our level and if he leaves we will miss him greatly. Finally, it looks as though today's might have been his 100th career goal (at club level). In 292 pro appearances. 1. In. 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
