I couldn't care less if Feeney "holds the ball up". A flipping forward is supposed to primarily stick the ball in the net. I like Warren and Nick but we are absolutely diabolical up front. Sort it out!
Between 1999-2006, Dennis Bergkamp only scored 36 goals in 175 performances for Arsenal. Yet he was absolute genius. A striker isn't just about goals. If Feeney played like he does and managed ten goals in a season, he'd be a huge asset.
As for 'He's played for Germany youth and they have Kroos, Gotze, Schurrle...' - What an horrific argument. Cherno Samba played for England between U14-U20 level and look how he turned out!
I don't get this myth of 'Tsoumou is a goalscorer'. You have NO evidence of that. He scored 2 goals in 11 appearances for us and other wise his best return is 5 in 29 for Eintrecht Frankfurt reserves. He has potential, that's it and as we saw with Samba that means nothing.
So i'm pretty sure Fletcher has 'more brain cells than a plank of wood'. After all he's the one that made the seven important signings which kept us in league football against all the odds.
