Hope Zubby has a good season. Rohr doesn’t seem to be too keen on him, perhaps because of his height and slight build. It is up to Zubby to produce performances that Rohr can’t ignore.
BTW, Leke James is another good striker we have that nobody talks about. Scored goals for fun at Molde. 33 goals in 59 games. Played under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, before he joined Man United.
Also joined Sivasspor this year.
