Again I'll say it, he's gone, i'm guessing in the summer. We're much much better off with Mellor behind Cisse and M.O. First off in clutch situations Mellor scores ( is that not enough) Baros, in clutch situations kicks the ball at the keeper. Which incidentally he has been doing since he arrived if you have been watching. ( no it was not the first time, against leverkusen, he's done it plenty of times before.
Then we move on to the issue of attitude, when something does not go his way he whines and complains. Mellor bucks up and gets on with it. Baros always seems to have this "why me " look on his face.
Another issue, brought up earlier in this post is his ability to pass, how many times have you seen him head down running the ball to the end and losing it to the last defender. Never seen Mellor do that, seems to me he realizes it's a team game.
When Baros is not giving the ball away (ala diouf), he is falling down. One of the games a few weeks ago was a complete joke, I kept saying to my friend, watch this guy every time he gets the ball he will fall down, she thought it was funny and she doesn't know a thing about football.
Don't see Baros lasting. with Cisse and M.O. Baros is on the bench,, ie,, gone,,,, thank god
