Not singling him out today as the whole team were like a poor pub team against a good pub team. But Moore's first touch was dreadful, as was his ability to hold the ball up, and he continually lost possession.
If we are to sign such a player, who would be on a high wage there must be a better option ? Admittedly I've not seen a great deal of him and this may have been a one off ?
As you say the team in it's entirety was woeful, I suspect we've just seen what happens when a player gets no time at club level and is thrust into a starting position. He looked extremely rusty, and dare I say it a little bit off the pace, Moore would've got past that centre back towards the end not 6 months ago.
When he's playing regular football the ball sticks much much better than what he showed today
He’s not playing regularly (at all?), he was getting plenty of praise after the Croatia game. I would be more than happy to have him here until the end of the season.
If he’s coming he’s coming for 3 years IMO and on good moneyQuote:

If he does arrive early Jan I am 100% confident our proper manager will work out how to maximise what he is good at.
He was rusty, but when was the last time he played 75mins?
Bad game tonight but he often seemed isolated. He always looks knackered to me, poor stamina maybe.
Moore is an improvement on what we have but i wouldn't spend silly money to land him. If he doesn't adjust to our budget we should look elsewhere.
That’s a massive tv you’ve got there! Where did you get it?Quote:

He was crap but the balls were constantly in the channels
Was he? Why didn’t we loan him then?Quote:

I thought that he looked really isolated as well. The starting front three were miles away from each other.Quote:

IMHO Bulut knows exactly what he wants and who will deliver his vision.
If its Moore then so be it but I rather think he’s aiming higher
Moore was a very effective striker for us and would be a considerable upgrade on Meite, Ugbo and Etete. He’s not match fit because he’s not playing regularly
Ran his socks off and left completely isolated by the midfield, his lack of playing time won't have helped his fitness or his touch
He's also a far better player than any of Ugbo, Meite & Etete
Even a match rusty KM is on a different level probably 2 than the above 3. If Erol has a better prospect lined up, all the better, but i think it will be Moore.Quote:

We basically played 5 defenders, 2 sitters, 2 "10's" and a "9". We were playing a minor country not Germany

It's clear that what we have at the moment is OK but not really firing enough killer shots
Etete is never going to do the business
If they had rinsed him down with a gallon of WD40 he would still be rusty.... they were all dire.
Good championship player and I for one shall carry on asking :thumbup:
He'll be here in Jan NQAT.Quote:

Maybe it was the right club at the right time, his touch was poor but he knew where the goal was he was brilliant and his goals kept us up.Quote:

He signed for Las Palmas in La Liga for over 2m euros. He started his first 3 games after joining, where the club failed to score in any of them. He came off the bench against Granada TV to supply an assist for the winning, and only, goal. He scored the winner in the 4th minute of injury time at Almeira coming on as sub.Quote:

Las Palmas have won 4 out of 5 when Kaba has come on as a sub and won 1 out of 6 when he's started.
Probably best not to pull him off, it's probably distracting and affecting his game, Lamouchi never pulled him off and he scored for fun.Quote:
