His movement & brain are too good for most league 2 defenders...
I would hope the instuction would be to deliver the ball earlyer and more over the top balls if he was playing for us.Absolutely spot on, whether we signed him or not, our biggest issue at present isn't lack of goals its the complete lack of creativity
He's hardly going to say Dagenham is a $h1t hole and I wish I was plying my trade elsewhere, is he, also your comments about Costa and Rooney are pointless.Don't dispute for a second we could well do with a Jamie Cureton right now.
However, we could equally well do with a Wayne Rooney or Diego Costa. The reality, of course, is that we're never gonna get one and I don't suppose the situation apropos Cureton was all that different.
As I recall, even when Jamie was with us his family was based in Essex and, having got married again in the last 12 months, I don't suppose the attraction of playing for a club 200-odd miles away would have been all that great.
“My wife is from Essex and has a good business that she runs. Hopefully we’ll settle up here and I can set roots out for a change,” said Cureton in a recent piece in The Guardian.
Reading between a few lines of the following story, it seems to me Curo was only going to return to the Westcountry, with Cheltenham or whoever, if he could come to some kind of arrangement with the manager that he could spend a good bit of time in Essex.He was being linked with Torquay pre season however they didn't offer him anything, same with Bristol Rovers, I think he was pretty keen to go back there however again they didn't offer him anything, I don't think Dagenham were his first choice.
Of course that is possible however we don't know the ins and outs on that one.Reading between a few lines of the following story, it seems to me Curo was only going to return to the Westcountry, with Cheltenham or whoever, if he could come to some kind of arrangement with the manager that he could spend a good bit of time in Essex.
Jamie Cureton:I suspect that Cureton was a casualty of what I consider to be an over-analytical approach to the game. Apparently a detailed analysis of his game in his last season with us indicated that, from Christmas on, he was needing an extra touch in the penalty box - hence why his goals dried up in the second half of the season. Personally, as I have said before, I think Tisdale analyses too much and needs to revert to basics.
I have been told by a current City player that he met Cureton pre-season and asked him if he would come back to City if he was asked to. He told me that Cureton did not hesitate in saying that he would.Reading between a few lines of the following story, it seems to me Curo was only going to return to the Westcountry, with Cheltenham or whoever, if he could come to some kind of arrangement with the manager that he could spend a good bit of time in Essex.
