YGBjammy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I love fam, but I'm unsure how he fits in with a pressing and passing on the ground tactic really. I hope to be proven wrong though, given us a lot of enjoyable moments and always seems committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Fam absolutely has the upper hand in these negotiations. 12 months left on his deal, 27 Y/O. I want him to stay but only on terms that are good for the club (because FFP) so I have cautious optimism here. It'll be framed as he loves the club blah blah but to get a player in his position to sign a contract I think it'd have to be a really financially strong offer from the club or one that has very favourable language (get out clauses) on the player side.

I thought he was a lazy, useless lump at first, but his movement and positioning last season was greatly improved and defending corners, he heads away more crosses than I can remember. In the current climate, I hope we can tie him down to a new deal, but that would of course depend on what his demands are. Yeah I wasn't a fan but last season he did improve. Could be handy with Wells next to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not , but he might give us a plan B option when up agains teams that are physical and keep it tight to stop us playing through them.

TRL Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I hope he signs, if he could finish emphatically and control a ball with consistently no doubt he would not be playing at this level. For me you rarely see a game where his opponent has not been in a battle, and honestly I would hate to see the number of points we could have dropped without him back defending corners and free kicks, I really think the team as a whole (rather than the goals scored column) will be a hell of a lot weaker without him in it. Now If We can get Wells up near 20 a season and Fam around 15, which he has consistently got in his time here, including chunks of time out of the team with suspension or Injury, I think we will be in a good place, what we need to concentrate on is getting the ball to both these players with more consistency and accuracy, It amazes me how many he scored give the service at times. Apart from Elliasson (usually as a sub) the assists to our front two has been getting worse and worse over the past 3 years, this is where the focus should be going forward.

maxjak Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 You don't know what youv'e got till it's gone? ................Fam has improved season on season, and is reaching the optimum age for a striker. He would be very hard to replace, and if he stays it will be a big plus for the coming season. Always 100% commited and as well as a quality striker he is invaluable defensively.

stephenkibby. Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Well Dean must think Fam can play in the system he's going with. If he signs then maybe only the need for two more incoming, center back and right wingback ? hope he stays has steadily improved and a real team player,never gives less than his best.

Davefevs Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Just posted on the Sam Szmodics thread that a front four of Diedhiou / Wells / Weimann / Szmodics has a nice balance to it. Not sure where it leaves Semenyo. With Watkins gone we still have physicality if Fam stays. Bases covered. Concentrate on moving a few on (Eliasson, O’Dowda, and loans), and go and focus on RWB and CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Be great if this happens. Improved immensely last season and I may be in the minority but still think he has a 20 goal season in him. Season before last he scored 12-13 and missed 20 good chances or something like that. Last season had 12 and was in and out of the starting XI a fair amount and in a quite dire attacking side. So yea if he can keep his fitness and performance levels to the standard he set last season, I think the game will slow down more for him and he may convert a few more chances. He works his socks off too. Gives his all for the club and that should be a given but isn’t always. So does make me more of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yeah, Fam doesn't really have the energy for the pressing game, but his biggest weakness is his lack of pace really and that is something you either have or you don't. I'm sure he must have worked on that in training, but that's just one thing he will never have. We can only use him effectively by playing to his strengths.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 It`s always telling to read what fans of opposing teams say about a player after a game and Fam is often spoken of as our best player on forums and such. You don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone as @maxjak said above IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I can't quite believe some of the chances that he misses, but I suppose the key thing is that he's getting the chances and gets in the right areas. One season it will all click for him, fingers crossed it's next season of course if he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
