Cameron Jerome

[neveradullmoment]

Thought Cameron Jerome was immense today. One obvious reason is he scored the 2 goals that salvaged a point and deservedly got man of the match. However, I was impressed with how encouraging he was of other players on the pitch, especially Redmond and Murphy. A great buy and looking better with every game. If only that shot in the first minute had not been deflected.

 

[Ricardo]

Agreed, very good performance today. My MOM.

 

[morty]

Immense. Worth every penny.

 

[Canaryboy]

After spending 3 years at Stoke (including a loan to Palace managed by Pulis), Jerome must be loving playing in an attacking team who create this many chances. 

When we signed him I thought he'd just be a bit of pace and power to bring off the bench, easy to forget that he scored 18 goals in a season in this league whilst still a teenager and hit double figures in the Premier League one season with Birmingham.

He looks a much more complete player than Grabban, although I'm also looking forward to seeing what Hooper can do in this division with plenty of service. 

 

[Rastie]

Hooper & jermone will be nice to see together

 

[The Great Mass Debater]

Wasnt keen when we signed him, but really glad to have my opinion changed - he's been great

Yes It would be good to see what a Jerome and Hooper pairing could do. It looks to have the possibility of being our strongest pairing. Hooper hopefully will be more clinical than Grabban.

First good look at him was on Tuesday night and again today, all I can say is we have a striker who looks to be loving it at Norwich and is giving 100% for the team. Great physicality, pace, desire and goal scoring ability. Sometimes a club and a player just seem to fit each other, prime example here, great for him, great for the club and great for us.

 

[Tomasz Blazak]

I said when we signed him he was a fantastic squad player. Well and truly eating my words now, as he is proving far more than just a decent option off the bench which was how I envisaged him!

 

[The Ghost of Michael Theo]

Why didn't we sign him last year instead of Van DonkeyWinkle??

 

[Din]

£1.5m looking better every week. Very quick, very strong, and works extremely hard. Not to mention he's a superb finisher. He can easily get 20, 25 goals plus this season.

 

[Dubai Mark]

I was delighted when we signed him, but didnt expect him to be so effective so soon......we will be the envy of almost all, if not all of the other clubs in our division with our striker and forward player options......and its that strength that I believe will ultimately win us this league  (stated the obvious there a bit didnt I!)

 

[Yellow Fever]

Jerome and Grabban are now joint third in the goalscoring table with 5 goals each, and Jerome has another in the Cup. With Hooper now fit again and the versatile Lafferty available, along with Loza, we have a lot to look forward to. Howson and Odjidja-Ofoe will also add further attacking options and the defense will be stronger as Hooiveld and Turner get more game time together. Even more to look forward to!

 

[bloodwagon]

Our new Grant Holt.

Thats all i have to say on the matter.!

 

[GJP]

Just to repeat what a few others have said really, I was very pleased when we signed him and he is looking like the business.

Looks to be an absolute mega bargain when you consider what other players have moved for.

 

[Jimmy smith]

Already earned his transfer fee and good to see how he can bring out the best in players like Redmond (not to mention he's a beast on FIFA!).

I'd stop short of any Holty comparisons just yet though. Perhaps if we get promoted and he bangs in another 20 odd goals then i'll have him up there.

I cannot believe he was available for £1.5m to be honest when people like McCormack and Rhodes are 8 figure sum players.

 

[ZLF]

Not sure we need two strikers - we have been very successful with just one up front with pace and directness on the flanks.

CJ has been superb - he brings so much more than a Rhodes would have done.

 

[yoraffetto]

He's outperformed my expectations, certainly. Already earned his money, in my opinion.

 

[mustard gas]

I said when we signed him he was a fantastic squad player. Well and truly eating my words now, as he is proving far more than just a decent option off the bench which was how I envisaged him!

My feelings exactly kio, though I remember us trying to buy him from Cardiff several years ago. How serious we were at the time eludes me, but he has fitted in with our squad incredibly well. Hooper, Jerome and Grabban, no other squad in this division is so well equipped.

 

[GazzaTCC]

He's exceeded my expectations too. I had him down as a 10-12 goals a season man.

As an aside, how gutted must Lafferty be feeling now? We start the season with one up front and him out of position, then we go two up front and he's the one dropped. Really feel for the fella at the moment.
