Reply | Calvin Andrew signs
at 12:04 26 Jul 2014
Vale fan here. Always good to keep track of former players but I have to admit, it was a surprise to see Calvin Andrew sign for you, and especially on a two year deal. It's fair to say he didn't impress for us in League Two, so not sure how he'll handle the step up to League One.
Positives first - he's big and strong, he holds the ball up well and will help out your midfielders. He's got a good attitude and is a real team player. There was talk when he was here about playing him in the middle, or even as a centre half because of his strength.
As a striker though, oh dear. His one goal in 22 starts for us says a lot, but what it doesn't say is that even that one goal came from a deflection off his backside that he claimed. Not sure he even had a clear chance, or a shot saved, never mind a goal. If you expect him to get you goals, this is one turd that will need a hell of a lot of polishing. I can't see him getting more than 5 or 6 even if he plays every game all season.
One popular chant towards the end of his time with us was "if Calvin scores, we're on the pitch"' a humerous nod to the fact that we knew, even before kick off, that he wouldn't be troubling the keeper.
Good luck to him anyway, as I said, he had a great attitude but just didn't cut it in League Two.
