What a joke of a player, apart from being useless he's totally unfit so he couldn't even make a nuisance of himself closing down their defenders.
I'd rather see an untried kid playing instead of him, thank you transfer committee NOT

Didn't do anything whilst on loan to justify signing him permanently.
Looks absolutely crap, one of the worst players I've seen in a City shirt.
Worst Cardiff striker I have seen in my 40 years supporting. Offers absolutely nothing, one paced (slow) , can't win a header, how he got a pro contract is seriously baffling. And if Trollope can't see that ,he is in the wrong job. Bruno was better up front, shocking.
The only time he did anything remotely useful with his head was when he nudged it along the floor whilst lying flat on his belly. Completely anonymous.
And that was after the worst theatrical dive I've ever seenOriginally Posted by Baloo
More 'ead 'anging.
How can youse sleep at night?
Early contender for bump of the year there
There's some blokes on this thread who can really pick a player! Including........best not say.....or one might be banified...
Clearly not up to the job but not his fault we bought him and gave him a contract. Likewise with Fred.
However also not his fault that he was isolated all night, had no midfield support, nil service, nobody shouting or organising on the pitch etc either. He is symbolic of the whole mess the club is in.
Just been trying to remember if I've seen any worse strikers playing for City over the years, even in the dungeon years of the mid 80's. Even past greats such as Morris Scott, Tony Philiskirk and Graham Withey were a level above Zohore tonight.
Why go back t the 80s to think of shit strikers? We have had an endless supply in the last 2 years.
And to think we once had Chopra, Bothroyd and Mcormack in the same squad. Central midfield is just as bad mind. What has happened to Joe Ralls????

If Paul Trollope is selecting Zohore because he thinks he's Championship standard then he deserves to be sacked for incompetence.
If Paul Trollope requested the permanent signing of Zohore in the summer then he deserves to be sacked for incompetence.
I actually think that the board / owner signed Zohore for reasons known only to them (not for the footballing benefit of CCFC).
So I would give Trollope the benefit of the doubt that he didn't sanction the signing but unless he's been told to play him he should never select him. The man is a terrible footballer at this level.
If Paul Trollope is being told who to play, or is selecting a terrible footballer because he thinks it will please the owner then he's tainting his own reputation and should resign on principle.
Can't argue with much of that - based on what was seen of Zohore last season and what's been seen of him this time around, Zohore is being turned into a worse footballer at Cardiff City as the months go by. This is a player who almost won the game for us when we played at Turf Moor against last season's champions five months ago and yet, after one or two decent things when he first came on, he looked like a parks player last night.
What a bloody insult to posters on here who've graced the parks of South Wales over the years.
I wasn't there last night (listened to the online commentary) but it does look as if a lot of players have gone backwards since last season - Immers, Ralls, Connolly and Manga (apart from his No 9 cameo yesterday) for starters.
When Zohore was signed it didn't look the worst decision based on the glimpses he gave last season - as a young back-up striker. I saw him at Rotherham amongst the subs and he did look heavy. If that is combined with confusion around roles and tactics, poor morale and confidence in the squad, lack of leadership on the pitch, and an unbalanced team with an over-reliance on a 34 year old who has hardly played for 2 years and a converted winger.... then that has to be the responsibility of the coaching and fitness team.
There are some positives from recent matches - Lambert, Amos, Peltier, Harris and (at times) Noone - but if the leadership and organisation on the pitch is down to Sean Morrison alone players like Zahore will look even more lost. It is going to be a hard fight to claw away from trouble at the bottom and Kenneth Zohore (2016-17 version) is not what we need.
If Trollope is responsible for the lack of commitment he should be ?
Mike I don't believe slade or Trollope has had any say in transfers the last two seasons purely down to the emperor and his two agent friends.
I remember Zohore supplying some promising glimpses last season. I have to say, I have no particular care for Russell Slade, but what has happened in the meantime?
FC Copenhagen. Hmmm
I agree, he was awful but he did try. He just wasn't very good.
He didn't try. Manga was put on to show him what to do FFS
What I don't understand is how we got Zohore permanently while sending away the exciting and promising Saadi who sparkled before getting injured and we were waiting for him to come back and pick up where he left off....but no...It's Zohore for us...Well done powers that be.
