I don't know if he is someone we should keep, but I certainly don't know that he isn't good enough either. Nope - too limited a player and if he’s not on it, it will be like playing with 10 men given how limited he is as a player … just sell Edited August 10 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordRS Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I like Cam. But he's a bit of a Darren Bent for me: deadly in the box, but doesn't contribute more generally. An unfair comparison I know, but contrast him with Ollie who does so much work, is integral to the way we play and makes space for team mates to effect the game. Even Duran causes chaos/space for team mates and creates his own opportunities. If we get a decent offer from Bournemouth, I'd take it and wish him the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked at Spurs paying that much given how they like to deal. i knew he had a good season last year but didn’t think he got as many as 19 league goals. Interesting to see how he does there.

vazquez Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Id like him to stay and prove some of us wrong. Edit: Cam Archer not Solanke. Edited August 9 by vazquez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I love the idea of Cam overcoming the odds & doubters and becoming a productive player here. It may not be the most likely outcome or the “correct” financial move but I’m a supporter not a director or accountant. I’m pulling for him and would be happy with him being given a chance here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Bad miss to put this wide. He's scored some lovely goals this pre-season so somewhat of a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite literally been hit and miss this pre-season tbf. I'm not sure where I stand with him but if Bournemouth come in and offer say 25m+, I think we'd find it very hard to turn that down.

Popular Post vazquez Posted August 11 Popular Post Share Posted August 11 Him coming in changed the momentum of the game, and we started to press and get opportunities. He is way better in leading the line than Rogers or McGinn. If we are not going to sign anyone, better to have Archer as Ollie backup. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The Darren Bent comparison is a good one (apologies, can't remember who said it) Superb finisher, give him two touches and a yard of space and he'll rattled the onion bag. Ask him to do much more and he's not quite there (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a double benefit from that one change. Think it was a sensible trial in pre-season because Rogers' finishing is exceptional, but it's safe to say that experiment failed. I'd be upset if we went down that route in the season on the rare occasions when we rest Watkins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
