Di Carmine???

[qprjim]

He isn't quick, he is appaling in the air, today he went up for a header completely unchallenged and missed the ball! How hard is it to head a ball out of the air unchallenged that to me shows he simply can't do it! He falls over everytime he tries to hold the ball up , mliks every challenge looking for a free kick, doesn't seem to have any skill running with the ball and his control is poor! I'm failing to see exactly what he does do well and why some people seem to rate him at all?

Yes he's young, yes he is in a foreign country and that would be difficult for anyone but that doesn't mean he isn't crap!

This is a thread about Di Carmine not Dexter Blackstock

Seriously though having read this whole thread I'd have to agree with Jamie, SDC is a talented young player, however like those who have left before him he is not cut out for the champ. For what its worth I thought he had a good first half, held the ball up well allowing others to progress from the midfield into attacking positions, however after the ABH by their centre half I don't think he looked as interested, who can blame him with the inept protection from the referee?

Nah, just get your sorry #### over to T2 and then you can tell him to fook off to Italy in person

[stainrodisalegend]

Hey great, we are in agreement - shall I pay for his taxi to Heathrow or will you?

[Jamie]

would definately agree that SDC should be allowed to go back to Serie A where he'll probably have a succesful career but the CCC ain't for him

[stainrodisalegend]

But we have been here with Parejo. Yes, he might have looked brilliant with Cesc Fabregas threading balls though to him - mind you, I'd probably look half way respectable under those conditions - but he has Gavin Mahon or today Mikele Leigerwood passing to him. We knew/ know that - so if he can't play with the cack we have, what is the point of him? Why not let him go back to Siera A where clearly many of you think he belongs and sit back as arm chair fans to see him score 20 goals a season for someone else. Meanwhile, can we plse have a striker who works in the Championship...

I dont think the way we play suits him at all.He is a good player ,and with the right set up would be a lot better.

[Jamie]

Nah I know he is asking to play for QPR but he didn't ask for this Blackstock saga to happen did he?

let's be honest the QPR Flav and GP sold him and he turned down other Serie A sides for probably wasn't one where he'd be booed by his own *****ic 'fans' and be expected to do half the **** he is

[Jamie]

Caitlin: what hasn't he asked for? To play for QPR? Hmm.

Jamie: I'm all for playing to his strengths if we have to play him at all, but can you kindly advise me what those strengths are? When you've found them, perhaps you could let the rest of our team in on the secret, that's a good fellow...

from what I've seen of SDC, when our wingers very rarely attack the line and find him in the area he world the keeper, intact 2 of his 3 goals have come this way....

If we had 2 wingers regularly attacking the touchline his goaltally would undoubtedly be much higher

His strengths definately arent plucking aimless hoofs out of the sky, skinning his defender and smashing in which us what we seem to expect of him

Jamie, Caitlin: to reiterate I wouldn't ever boo one of our players (except John Curtis) and I do not condone that. But it wouldn't make any difference if "Sammy" played with one, two or ten strikers: he is pants.
And BTW, think he played once or possibly twice for Florentina's first team in not particularly crucial matches. I'm not one of these posters on here who enjoys fights but with respect you have not answered the point about his scoring record.

I know his goal scoring record is poor but what I am trying to point out he hasn't asked for this the poor lad. I seriously wanted to run on that pitch and give him a hug.

he played for Fiotentina in a UEFA Cup qualifier, pretty crucial IMO...

As for his goalscoring record for us, its ****, as is HH and PA, but then what do you expect when you dont play to his strengths...

[W12_Ranger]

Same with Blackstock.

I agree!
