KSV Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 He's still only 20ish. Let's not forget that. Just because he's built like a tank. He needs time to develop like all the other youths. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely posseses the skills to make him a hit and with the right coaching he can be great at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I really rate what I've seen of Adama, very exciting attacking player, could potentially tear this division apart on his own in some games, when did we last have a player with that possible potential?

Stockport_Villain Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Loved his run but blimey he's got one hell of a lot to learn. Constantly hogs the touch line even when the play and long balls to gestede are on the opposite side, no anticipation on where the ball might be and how he should be involved. At one point he had to be directed from the touch line to get himself move to the middle of the pitch. if he can learn he will be a good player, if he doesn't he'll only ever be a bit part player....in my opinion.

VillanousOne Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 just don't get how someone who's football education was at one of the best footballing clubs/academies in the world could be so lacking in some of the fundementals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strange since the high pressure from the attackers is on of the cornerstones in the Barcelona system. Winning the ball early and keeping possession is the base of their entire style.

lapal_fan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Having him on the pitch standing where he does automatically means that 2 players from whatever team we're playing can't really ignore him. If a ball gets pinged out from defence to him, and they've committed men forward, bye bye. For the mean time, bring him on with 20/30 mins at a time. When he gets used to our play then it's inevitable he'll make some starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I liked that he showed signs of helping Bacuna. Even though it isn't his game it shows a willingness to adapt. Big player for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
