Okazaki

[WoodvilleFox]

Okazaki has announced his retirement at the end of the season, one of my favourite players from the title winning team, not many of the immortals left playing now, starting to make me feel old!

Without his goals, we would have been seven points poorer in the title season.

Play Daka or Ineacho in his role behind Cannon.

Daka hasn't got the brains and Iheanacho is far too lazy.

 

[TopFox]

Dead right.
The idea that nacho is in any way suited to playing even remotely like Shinji is the daftest fucking thing I've ever read on here. And that is saying something.

Was over in Malaga just before lockdown and went to the match. Gutted to learn he had left them the week before.
He was the beating heart of that 15-16 team.

 

[whissy]

He gave us so much more than the goals he scored.. looked like he was a real nice guy too !!

Nacho is the better finisher but Okazaki had the better work rate.

Well he always said he sacrificed his own game for the sake of the team. Proper team player.

"Nacho is the better finisher" based on what exactly?

 

[TopFox]

"Nacho is the better finisher" based on what exactly?

Oh fuck. Don't start him off...

 

[MeltonFox]

"Nacho is the better finisher" based on what exactly?

The goals he has scored for us. Nacho has always been a good finisher but the thing that lets him down is his lazy style.

So, based on your opinion then?

Fact is he's only reached double figures once in six and a half seasons !!

Hardly the stats of a quality "finisher" is it?

In fact I'd say Okazaki was light years ahead of him as a "finisher" and premier league winner.

Did Okazaki get double figures?

 

[wints]

Did Okazaki get double figures?

His contribution is unquestionable. Nacho's is very questionable.

 

[blackthorn8]

Did Okazaki get double figures?

No don't think so thought his highest was about 6 or 7

 

[Brauny]

Did Okazaki get double figures?

He got a Premier League winners medal.

 

[sarflondonfox]

He ran himself into the ground every game that season

Fuck me it was only a suggestion because we're desperate.

Ever heard of thinking before making fucking stupid suggestions?
