Woodytom Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I thought he was brilliant yesterday, feel asleep for the goal but other than that thought it was his best game. No way. Gave the fk away (pretty sure) after failing to clear the ball. Never known someone lose the ball in such dangerous positions. got in PFA Team of the season Huh???

wazzap24 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So we've still not learnt about foreign players taking time to adapt then? Obviously shit and must get rid. I mean if he can't learn the lingo, adapt to a new country and get used to a completely different style of play in less than a year (all in a struggling side battling relegation for the fourth year running) then what's the point. We need a midfielder who can protect the back four, with a 100% pass ratio and be able to open up the opposition with surging runs and incisive forward passing, whilst scoring at least 10 goals. 10 to a penny them, should be easy with our budget.

Zatman Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 how will you know if a player will adapt when you buy him. Ozil, Shevchenko, Veron cost 10 times more than Sanchez and they struggle to adapt. Then people forget Angel, Petrov hardly set the world alight straightaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time we spunked millions on a foreign player who doesn't need time to adapt IMO. Go tell the chairman then Woody, because our current budget is unlikely to do it.

StefanAVFC Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 What..? You made a point. It's been debunked. Now you're labelling it as a piss poor excuse Lets put you in a new country where you don't speak the language Tom and see if you need any time to adapt.

He does speak the language by all accounts, but yep I'd need time to adapt of course. But from day 1 of performing my job in a different country, I wouldn't get the basics wrong, and definitely not almost a year later. Spose he doesn't have much spare time or materials to assist him in settling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there has been loads of examples. Doesn't mean I have to agree that it should take so long, it simply shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about time we bought a foreign player who doesn't need time. I'm not saying that's easy but it happens. I just don't see why yet again, a year down the line we are using this excuse for a player who makes stupid tackles and pisses about with the ball at the edge of the box.
