Fight Like Lions Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 He wanted to be involved in every move we had going forward. Battled to win and retain the ball. Seems to have the right attitude in preseason which is great to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I think Wesley has shown alot of quality in the two halves he has played. This lad is quality. I hope he settles in Birmingham and enjoys his football. He will fit perfectly in the system we play too. Bringing the wide players , the midfielders, and full backs into play. His main strength for me though isn’t his strength or pace. It is his awareness and decision making. He has the abillity to make good decisions in the final third of the pitch. I would think players like Grealish and Jota are going to love playing with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 His first touch and one-touch stuff impressed me. The ball didn't bounce off him like it used to on Carew. Let's hope he has a good eye for goal like Carew did too. Could be a big, big player for us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) https://talksport.com/football/576366/wesley-moraes-aston-villa-transfer-premier-league-hit/ Quote The Brazilian displays excellent movement and timing in the box. He is especially adept at playing on the blind side of the nearest defender before making late movements that take him into space when the ball is being played into the penalty area. To fully understand the potential impact Wesley may have this season for Aston Villa we first have to consider the kind of systems that he was used to playing in whilst in Belgium. cont...

Big Wes all over the pitch wearing them down and on comes Maupay in second half with his speed, agility and sharpness to finish them off, could be a dangerous pairing however you play the two of them.

Abraham, despite being younger, has a higher ceiling and is better with the ball at feet. Wesley, on the other hand, is a more instinctive finisher in and around the penalty area at this stage of his career. Funnily enough I think the exact opposite. Abraham is the more instinctive finisher with most/all his goals coming inside the 6 yard box. However his first touch was poor a lot of the time. Wesleys finishing (from what I've seen) inside the box looks hit a miss but he is more likely to score from outside the box and his first touch and awareness in general play looks better. That article is absolutely rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they haven't seen either player play before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's actually a good article. Unlucky quoting on your part Not sure I agree with the consensus in the media that we'll be a team that struggles for possession based purely on the fact that we're newly promoted though. I personally think we'll hover around the 55% mark this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope you're right and he'll be ok. I think he will. Team spirit in Bruges was and is always very strong, especially the last 4-5 years. If he's surrounded by a good team (off the pitch) he will fit in very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there he played against Eupen, Moeskroen, Cercle Brugge and Eupen off course. Let's hope he can do it against the big PL teams too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I think it will be frustrating that commentators will keep bringing up his back story every game. Has been mentioned 5 times in first 10 minutes this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
