A crucial difference tho: Curaton - from memory - cost £50,000, Celar was rumoured (stand to be corrected) to have cost about £2m. We must have paid that believing we had bought a proven, ready made, high scoring striker. |
TBF Cureton was only fourth choice striker behind Furlong, Gallen and Thorpe. I’d bite your hand off for a strike force like that today. Ollie ‘rack em and stack em’.👍 |  | |  |

At least he knows the problem. I dont think Celar is is crap, I just think his confidence is shot to pieces. Had that penalty gone in on Saturday, things would have been whole lot different going forward I believe. |
I dunno, I haven't seen lots of evidence that suddenly he's going to kick into life. But then he makes it very hard to defend him. Some guy behind me on saturday was berating him for "being on the wing" when pulling wide in the box for the 1-2 with Smyth (rather than staying marked by 3 men). I said he wasn't on the wing, he was trying to make space. "He's shit mate, you're an idiot". Well, both true, but accuracy matters. Then he missed the penalty about 5 minutes later.
He's has that worrying knack of being a second behind good. And as the sample size grows, it could just well be that's what he in fact is |  | | |

Of course, we don't actually know it was £2m. |  |

Who remembers when Fitz Hall inexplicably scored two goals v Barnsley so they let him take a penalty for the hat trick which he missed? |
But we won that game, 4-2 or 4-1. |  |

Components that are key for a lone striker, even if they are not scoring, one they can hold the ball and occupy defenders to allow support to arrive, the other is they win the one on one challenges and are also able to make opportunities for themselves. Celar does not have the attributes at the moment to perform this role, would personally like to see Alfie Lloyd be given a go from the start and see if he can do this role, looks a lot stronger than Celar in my opinion. |  | | |

The Warnock season we also started the season against Barnsley and won 4-0, easy to get the two mixed up! |  |

Yeah, that's a fair point.
I suppose I just think that it wasn't, on paper, a really stupid signing, or stupid money. Given that the goalkeeper and strikers were the obvious weakness in last season's side (plus probable loss of Chair) I can see why signing Nardi, Dembele, and pushing the boat out a bit (by our standards anyway) for Celar made sense.
I feel part of the problem with Nourry is that these decisions do make sense in theory but if that was all its takes we all could do it. And we'd all probably have the same sort of ratio of hits (Nardi, Dembele, Saito) misses (Celar, Madsen,) and maybes (Varane?)
I don't think it's unreasonable for fans to expect a bit better than that from Nourry, or for us to expect Celar, for that money, to be an upgrade on Dykes. | | | |
