Why make yourself look stupid in 10 words when you can post a 1000 and hope people don't read and you appear semi intelligent.

I'd love to know who his Alt is.

Meite is left footed, so won't be replacing Harris. More likely Ojo. Or will be played through the middle to give us physicality in the way West Ham use Antonio. I like Etete and I think he's going to be a top player, but the evidence of the 3 pre-season friendlies is that he still isn't using his size and power to it's full extent.

I don't wholly disagree with Keyser Sosa but I don't know why Meite is singled out other the other two signings who are totally unknown quantities.

I was, though, surprised that Meite has been given a two year contract considering his form and fitness over the last two seasons. But then players appear to hold the whip hand in negotiations nowadays

A training cone would be an upgrade on Ojo, so if he has been signed to replace him, happy days.

I still think we need another striker, we also need to move on some of the deadwood like Watters, Ojo Sawyers etc

Agreed, Campbell looks superfluous as well. Actually, Ojo has looked quite bright in pre-season.

He’s had a few games where he looked really good.

The majority of games though agreed he’s crap

Meite has been crap but I feel it’s more the system he’s playing in compared to the player himself.

He’s often isolated on the wing much like Bowler with little midfield support.

Every opposition knows all the run is going to go down the channel with no risk of it going across the lines.

When he plays centrally, he has no midfield support and not big enough to be an out and out centre forward.

He’s crap but works hard but has no opportunity to use what skills he does have.

I would love for one game to see a Grant and Meite in a 442. I bloody hate these 2 sitting midfielders that rarely get up the pitch.

We only hit quick balls forward for wingers. I agree we need Grant up the middle. His stats as a 9 for WBA were good. With Grant at 9 you have three points of attack : between the full backs and centre back (* 2 channels), or between the centre backs for Grant at 9. I honestly think with Grant at 9 it would allow Grant or the winger to be released with a ball behind. As it stands, a slow 9 means the full backs know the danger men are wide and will write off a quick central ball.

It makes us predictable.

valid point on the usage of meite..however he has been an absolute state in the pentaly area..some shameful misses. Terrible headerer of the ball. His shots have been tame and more importantly at this level..straight at the keeper. Its fair to say he has some of the better chances but blunders them

I’ve been really disappointed with Meite, I would have liked to have seen more of him wide, he clearly isn’t a striker.

Although he’s no striker I’m still glad he’s here but that says more about our options upfront than anything.

Exactly.

Offering more than Etete or Diedhiou says it all. I still think that he is the best of the three but that isn’t saying much.

Very poor mans Heskey… does the hard work to bring others into play, but his finishing is a bit of a punchline.
