I think he means the fat Ronaldo at the end of his career who was a shadow of his former self .Chris_from_Sidcup said:
I'm still struggling to get my head round how you think he plays like Ronaldo thoughSwisdom said:
Feel free to ignore the salient part of the statement "if he could finish like him we'd have never seen him in a Charlton shirt."Chris_from_Sidcup said:
That is one of the most ridiculous player comparisons i've ever heard. One of the greatest strikers of all time, and a league one striker with about a 1 goal in 6-7 games strike rate.Swisdom said:My stance is he is no world beater but he is definitely effective in this division and definitely effective in a 4231 where you need your striker to be mobile, able to hold up the ball, bring others into play and provide assists.
Josh was the 4th fastest player at the Euro's last year - he really is that fast
He's as strong as an ox
Good in the air
Reasonable finisher.
Let's be honest - he looks and plays like (fat)Ronaldo used to and if he could finish like him we'd have never seen him in a Charlton shirt.
Someone near me quoted a Kilmarnock fan as saying "If he could finish he'd be worth £20m". Slight exaggeration but the sentiment is about right.
If he's on £2/3k a week then he deserves a pay rise. And a hefty one at that. If Ajose is on £6k a week then he deserves AT LEAST that. He is the best striker at the club by a mile.
This is how I'm reading it and agree with Swisdom
*now that's a first , will I get a like from bobcafc :-)3 -
Glad he looks like staying, but we still need a big hold up striker.0

It could have been, as said memory is fading ;-( I just assumed it would of been pre rather than post season. So what year was it ?Big in Brasov said:

Plays up front - same position
strong as an Ox - people bounce off him - same attribute
Good in the air - same attribute
Of course he isn't in Ronaldo's league in terms of ability but there's plenty of similarities

there's just as many differences though. You are entitled to your opinion, but I have never seen Magennis and thought "poor mans Ronaldo" myself.Swisdom said:

On the "magennis next in contract talks" thread it's all "great news" he's "loyal and proper professional" and "essential for us" etc.
Now some are saying he's "not that prolific", "misses way too often", "a league one player and nothing more".9 -

To everyone saying he can go: let's try playing one up front with KAG, Watt or Novak.
Wonder how many points outside the play offs we'd be by Christmas.3 -
I think that response is based on two things:Callumcafc said:To everyone saying he can go: let's try playing one up front with KAG, Watt or Novak.
Wonder how how many points outside the play offs we'd be by Christmas.
1 - Some think we will replace Magennis with a striker who can play up top on their own and are more prolific than Magennis. I am not even sure how many of those players exist in our league and I doubt we would even replace him, let alone with one who could fire us up.
2 - It's peoples response to hearing a player "doesn't want to be here"
I get the second point, but I don't even want to be there! Unfortunately Charlton is the only team for me so I have no choice. Different for players though, I wouldn't begrudge anyone walking away personally.0 -

I was there. Apoel had played Arsenal one or two days before and managed a creditable draw. '66-67 was not a vintage season for Charlton but against Apoel they went on the rampage. Look at who scored - great names all ....2 -
