avfc456 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Without sounding like a wally- is he right footed but playing on the left? If so, I don't really get that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Think he is going to take time to used to the pace of the league which is clearly very different to what he's used to. Reminds me a bit of Sanchez in that he's just taking far too long to do simple stuff. Every player coming from abroad reacts differently and uou never know until you throw them in but for me he looks significantly off the pace. Yes he defended well but I'm really surprised Bruce is shoehorning him into starting games, think the slowly slowly approach would benefit player and team much more. Absolutley not saying he's a stiff just that he's not going to be an instant win for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Wasn't that bad last night - will need time to adjust but there's a decent enough player in him . will probably lose his position to taylor at the weekend though once taylor is over illness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 He should improve over time and be a decent player for us. The question is what his best position is. Early days but based on yesterday he's perhaps a much better version of Bacuna in the sense that he runs around a lot and can play in different positions, however unlike Bacuna he can actually control a football and not give simple passes away anywhere near as frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amavi has been in poor form, as all our players. But I think Amavi might excel in the wing back position. Or not... Birkir did OK in an unfamiliar position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I think that's going to be the issue with bjarnesson. bruce will use his adaptability and throw him into several positions and he won't settle in one particular position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce had talked about only bringing in players that would improve the first team and mainly he has done so. But then I think the results started turning against him, and he realised how big this task was. He had a word with Tony and they agreed that we wouldn't go up this year. As such he set about improving the squad not just the first team. He saw the chance to get Bjarnasson at a good price for someone who can fill the squad in numerous positions.
