I'm not sure Madine should even be here, he's making up numbers for forward players that's it. He needs to be shipped off, he can't cut it and has had plenty of time to show if he can. Even in L1 he wasn't exactly prolific was he? I never understood how someone who hardly scores is called "Goal Machine" it's oxymoronic. Though that's just my humble..
Madine got 19 in our promotion season which is more than decent.
He was very good yesterday & his movement certainly made us far better in the second half. I have seen every league match Madine has played for Wednesday and I honestly don't know if he is good enough for this division. He has never started three consecutive league matches and never played two consecutive league games for more than an hour.
The most consecutive league games started for Madine - 2, May - 9, Nuhui - 31.
Whilst "Goal Machine" is a bit naff, I do think that we could do a lot worse than give him a chance. Can see us letting him go then taking someone else to the PL with his goals. Grant Holt anyone?
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
