Nugent

[Bigdave]

If we signed him we would, in my opinion, be major automatic promotion contenders.

[eghamR]

Surely with Pompey selling off/releasing quite a few this is the sort of player they will be relying on next season?

[Scarlet pimple]

Allways rated Nugent, will sent out a big message of intent.

[BennyBoyRs]

I'm not sure on him in all honesty.

You lot bang on about how good he is and how crap Dex is but take a look...

David Nugent

213 Games
54 Goals

That's a goal every 3.94 games which averages out at 12 goals a season.
I think you lot (as well as him) live off his England cap where he stole a goals and also for his one good season at Preston.

Dexter Blackstock

166 Games
43 Goals

That's a goal every 3.86 games which still works out at 12 goals per season on average.

Dex is margianlly younger and already at the club whereas the hugely over rated (seeing as you all feel Dex is pony) David Nugent would command a decent fee.

Again...Where has Nugent done anything to warrent him being the answer to our problems?

Oh...and before you spout off about Nugent having 31 of those games in the Prem with Pompy...he also had 88 of those in the lower leagues with Bury, so I'd say that should just about even things out in terms of the competition.

I await the abuse and crap arguments with great anticipation...

Edited *Burnley was meant to be Bury :beaten:

Impressive stats Benny - is this an application for Sir Pie's job?

[Dando]

i agree Benny, however i think his experience at playing with other quality players is more valuable than what Dex can give us. He got a lucky goal for England, but someone must have seen some kind of quality in him for him to be called up to play for England in the first place? Id persoanlly be happy with the signing - although it wont happen anyway

[Scarlet pimple]

Also think he has more to his game than Dex, causes more problems for opposing defence, more aggresive.

[BennyBoyRs]

Stainrod...I pull them out every now and then

Dando, I would not mind if he signed either, but I am just pointing out the truth.

I've said many a time...A striker is paid to score and Nugent is no better at this that Dex, yet so many falsely claimthat he's a top striker.

Look back when Rickets played for England, and let's face it...he's a terrible player. Frannie Jeffers and Seth Johnson are two others. Even England managers make mistakes.

What were his stats at Preston at this level? ...I'm sure Pompey includes plenty of sub appearances as would maybe his early days at Bury.

94 Games
33 Goals

Makes a goal every 2.85 games which is roughly 16 goals. Not really much better in all fairness.

David Connolly has roughly the same ratio throughout his career over the Prem and CCC yet he was laughed off as if he's a nobody.

Like I say, would be a useful addition but he's no better at scoring than Dex. Not enough to make him superb and Dex crap anyway.

Think of how many sub appearences Dex had last season, plus taking into account his really poor season after RJ's death. I think even Dex's hardest crittics can't argue with the facts. If Dex is s**T, then Nugent is average and not then answer.

[crowlehoops]

yes please

For me Nugent brings a lot more to the table than Dex ...yes they have a similar goalscoring ratio ...but Nugent can hold the ball up and bring the midfield and wide men into play ...a bit like Gallen used to ...something we lacked last year ...lets face it Dex/Pat and to a certain extent Helguson couldn't trap a bag of cement ...let alone bring the ball down and spray it out wide to the wingers ...Personally I'd have Nugent, Dex, Pat & Helguson on the books ...last years promoted teams showed you needed to be able to switch it about up front.

[pblockranger]

Yep - quality goalscorer - the type of player we should be spending large sums on.

3 operations last season hardly any first team action for 2 years yeah we should go and spend big on him eh

[oldhoop]

How about Dex AND Nugent up front then
