Considering there's been a lot of whinging about how we haven't adequately replaced Adam Rooney, and how we don't have an adequate goal threat, and that Tade isn't a 'natural goalscorer' (whatever the hell that means), I thought it might be interesting to compare Rooney from last season against Tade from this season:
Rooney in 2010/11
All competitions: 21 goals in 42 games (41 starts, 1 as sub)
SPL: 15 goals in 38 games (37 starts, 1 as sub)
Tade in 2011/12
All competitions: 6 goals in 15 games (13 starts, 2 as sub)
SPL: 6 goals in 14 games (13 starts, 1 as sub)
Note that Rooney's goals included 7 penalties, 5 of which were in the league. So he only scored 10 goals from open play in the SPL last season. Tade is, in fact, only 4 goals away from equalling Rooney's total in open play for the whole of last season in the SPL!
