BarnsleyBigFella Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello, Hume recently signed for my team, Barnsley. i was just wondering if any of you had an opinion on him. i see he's been called up to the national squad, has he had many games, scored many goals etc... he scored on his debut for us and looks a decent prospect, but he does seem to drift out wide alot which does'nt really make sense when we have 2 of the best wingers in the league, in campbell-ryce (jamacian) and el hamouir. he does play for us up front he did get sent off in his second game too am not sure about that beard either, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 21 caps and 2 goals for us, and is currently about 4th choice at wing and about 5th at striker I'd say. He does have quite a reputation for reds though, bit of a temper.

I (and I think most others here) rate Iain much higher than Keano said. He isn't exactly 5th choice striker, as he is totally different type of player than the players (I am guessing) Keano says are ahead of him. Also, of his 21 caps, I believe the majority are for substitute appearances. I do agree that his temper is sometimes questioned, especially in games here in CONCACAF, as his physical style play is generally frowned upon much more so than it is in the UK.

EDIT: silly spelling mistake. I didn't comment on his quality but on his place on the Canadian national team. As per the question from BigFella. He is probably a better striker than anyone except Friend in our system, but as you say completely different styles hence why we don't see him start much.

loyola Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Out of 22 caps, he has 13 starts. He has 2 goals for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyBigFella Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 from what i've seen he certainly plays better as a striker. he dropped back to left wing during a cup game, in the second half. he did'nt have much involvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I rate Hume very highly. If I were a Barnsley supporter I'd be worried about a bigger club picking him up. He hasn't had too many fantastic performances for Canada, but he is effective coming of the bench. His club for with Leicester was very good though. I'm looking for some big performances from Hume coming off the bench, he can be our solskjaer (well maybe not, but he can impact games off the bench, something Canada will need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Iain Hume is certainly a favorite of a lot of our fans. He has a really good work rate, and never quits. He will feature a lot during our WCQ run but probably mostly off the bench unless we have some injuries. Here's a clip from the 2007 Gold Cup where he scored against the US and really played well. edit: About the 5 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Iain Hume has the main thing you want in a footballer. HEART. He was amazing vs. the USA and really won a spot on the national team in that match coming on as a sub he scored, cleared a ball off the line and assisted on a goal that was called offside (wrongly) to knock us out. He was pretty unimpressive up until that match. Also very good vs. Costa Rica in September I thought coming on as a sub he had some nice runs.

If so I'd definitely take Radzinski over him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 i wish him in Spain since he plays the ARGIE STYLE, he is a very complete player, that can play anywere in the last part , also can play as the hard task of PLAYMAKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for left wing I really liked DeRo in the middle with Issey on the left against St. Vag and the Ginas but we'll see what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ya, Hume is definately a substite - if for no other reaason than his temper. The unabashed enthusiasm he brings to the pitch can cause defenders a nightmare in combination with his fitness, speed, and danger of long-range/spectacular goals and assists. ... a nightmare for any defender and a tactic I try to use as a coach myself - high energy off the bench.

Daniel Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hume is known to score some spectacular goals with both feet from about 20-25 yards out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueviking Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i think he is rated pretty highly amongst canadian supporters because he was considered a hot prospect a few years ago...most of us thought he had a chance to be a premiership player one day...he hasnt quite met that expectation, obviously. he is a streaky goal scorer...he will pot 5 golas in 8 games and then go cold for 5 games...overall, i would love to have him in my team for his energy and passion...he will be a fan favourite for sure....he is here.

Keegan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He was linked with Everton and Fulham or a while. Maybe if he could get off a ****e team he could be something. He is a very loyal guy and will likely stay with Barnsley for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueviking Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 ^ yeah, i also think we all love him because he is a character and seemingly a quality guy off the pitch. it should be qualified that those who are saying that he is a good sub, are talking about his role with canada, not barnsley...he is certainly CCC starter quality, but hasnt quite been able to supplant some of the stronger players on the national team...if canada does make the world cup however, it is possible that he will be a starter by then, depending on the form that radz can maintain over the next two years...i dont see too many others knocking on the door up front for us at the moment.

BarnsleyBigFella Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 thanks alot lads, seems the majority of you rate him. i just hope he can bang a few in the season and get us in the play offs. cheers, P.S Good luck against Jamaica. look out for luton shelton and J johnson if they play. both very quick attacking players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The game vs. Jamaica is an excellent one for Hume, at least as a sub. He does well against very physical sides--like he sees in the CCC all the time--and will relish the opportunity to knock over a handful of strapping Boyz tonight. We'll see him tonight for sure. This is his type of game, and we need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
