Christ we must be desperate if we have fans saying we should permanently sign someone who has been crap for 7 months, hardly scored any goals, hardly does ANYTHING, and will be one of the highest earners at the club for it.
Because there is a good player in there my friend, just needs to be coached correctly.
So what does he have in there exactly? And when have we seen it to suggest it is there?
Bolton paid well over the odds for him because he was very young and was a "hot prospect". I get the feeling that has led many to believe he is better than what he is.

You just have to understand football fella, its a funny old game
And to add he has power and pace just needs the confidence, its not all about running around like a headless chicken. A confident sordell and obika would terrorize most championship teams.
Couldn't agree more, There's talent in there somewhere but its getting it out of him, Get a entire preseason under his belt and a fresh season ahead and some sharpness back and I think he could be very handy.
He obviously has talent that is plain to see. His touch is very good and is quick. I don't get the lazy thing as he does the same running any striker does apart from church.

That's why fans get sooooo annoyed. We would give anything to have 90 mins on that pitch.....missing an easy chance I can understand but lazy is unacceptable!!
I wonder if the people who slate sordell have played football at a high enough level to understand the quality of runs are much more important than the quantity, anyone can run around all day but it just takes the one run e.g sordell against hudds (although he missed the one on one) to score a goal
Out service to our strikers has been appalling though im sure we only had one shot in 3 games including donny. Sordell has played 21 games in the league, divide that by minutes played and it works out around 45 mins. How a striker can get a rhythm playing on average 45 mins a game is beyond me
And he hasn't even started close to 21 games so the true figure is even lower. Would like to see him in a Riga team playing with confidence. He looked good on Tuesday and has had a real upturn in performance. In terms of talent and technique he is head and shoulders above Simon 'runs around a lot' Church
its the same with Reza as personally i think he has been unlucky as he does get in goal scoring areas - compare sordell and Reza with church who has played far more minutes recently and i think you may come up with the answer on who should be playing and why we have a lack of goals. The word Powder Puff springs to mind with church.

I understand Football mate, and with what I have seen with my own eyes he has under-delivered nearly every time he has come on the pitch.
He doesn't have pace and he doesn't have strength. On FIFA maybe yes, but can you tell me one game where he showed both those traits and looked like a real force for us?
Chris Powell has made about a dozen footballers become better players through joining Charlton, so I'd have him down as a pretty decent "coach". He clearly couldn't get this supposed unbelievable talent out of Sordell, and neither could anyone at Bolton.

Dougie Freeman and Chris Powell hmmmmmmmmmmmm Geezer Personally ive seen a vast improvement in Marvin since Jose has arrived and with my eyes he certainly has strength and pace - Also i dont think Powells defensive tactics suited Marvin. Huddersfield and Bournemouth

All the above are players who were floating around at League 1/League 2 clubs or in our youth system and then, under Chris Powell, became better players. And I don't just mean slightly better - they became different players altogether. All of which produced form that they have never produced at any point in their careers. So yes, I think Chris Powell knows a thing or two about getting the best out of players. If it is there, then there is a good chance he will get it out based on his track record. In Marvin Sordell's case, all that is there is a big transfer fee at a young age - nothing more.

The only one i would give you there is Kermorgant me old mucker
I think his reputation of being "disinterested" has come from being unwilling to chase hopeful punts upfield against big centre-halfs who are six inches taller. I've seen him twice come on as sub and he was dangerous every time he was on the ball.
A couple of goals, a bit of confidence and he'll look a totally different player. I seen enough "useless" forwards suddenly turn into very good players, with an injection of confidence.

reading away he changed game
Came on at 1-0 down, and the game ended 1-0. Yep, really changed that game..

1?! are you sure!?!? the is some silly stat about JJ who had scored 19 goals or something in his entire career at 28...has now scored more than 30 for us. To say kermo is the only one Powell improved from that list is ridiculous

just needs to be coached correctly.
lol, love it.
He's gone Scab's, 'move on', 'get a grip ffs'
:-)
Why do you always spoil my fun :-( I am not going to be lured into a Powell debate, no more from me on that, but i belive jose is a better coach.

can understand but lazy is unacceptable!!
sordell 954 minutes played 2 goals League apps
church 2148 minutes played 3 goals League apps
Errrrrrrrm. 954 mins played, 124 great runs!!
It's not at any particular player but numbers don't lie.

The main factor in all of this is that the service needs to improve. Nowhere near enough attacking with pace and through balls.
