Velikonja has supposedly been fantastic in training and has really caught the eye of ole with his finishing .
Apparently he looks a totally different player this season and is pushing hard for a place on the bench .

Was there a reason we never saw him much under Malkey ?
Could he make a unbelievable come back and prove everybody wrong ?
Have the fans been to quick to judge him seeing as he's only played a couple of times here ?
His goal record elsewhere seems to suggest he has the talent !

People saying we have 5 top strikers at this level , maybe we have 6 :ayatollah:

I would be glad for the forgotten man to be given a chance.

Saw him in a couple of development games and although he scored a few to me he did not show the up and go. At that level he should have been one of the leaders but look more like a lamp following the flock. From all the stories coming out now I get the impression he struggled with the atmosphere. Now this seems to be sorted perhaps we will see what we were told.

They say he was a Tan signing, Tan also wanted Loic Remy.

He may not be as stupid as some people would have you believe.

Malky was happy to claim the signing when he signed but who knows who signed him.

I don't think that's the reason he was frozen out, Malky often froze out players randomly, brayford, Cornelius, Conway, Noone all had long stretches out the team and sometimes not even on the bench.

Though his shoot was wide against Port Vale I was thinking he got it, his technique seems brilliant. Surprised me. :thumbright:

Is there anywhere I can see his stats for the development squad?

Well he must be a bit stupid if he thinks we could get Remy! :laughing6:

Let's remember the pre-season match where he played brilliantly against a near full strength Newcastle team.

I think he deserves an opportunity to shine and be given some confidence.

If/When Maynard leaves, I think Eti will push his way to at least on the bench

Loan him out for a few months to championship or league 1 side and see what he can do with a run of games.
