Davkaus Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: I guess what I’m trying to say is, he has a value attached to him? If we manage to get anywhere near back what we paid for him, one might argue Trez has been a great signing for us! We only paid £9m for him. That would be an absolute pittance for a player his age with a couple of years PL experience under his belt, I'd see no point letting him go for anything like that kind of money. For comparison, Leeds paid £15m for Helder Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would Smith, that's why Barkley stayed on the bench and Trez came on. I would keep Trez as an impact sub once we have other options. For now I would rather play him than the Elghazi we saw yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Trez is like Jesus, he rises from the dead at Easter. He'll be like Ronaldo between now and the end of season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted April 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2021 He was all over the place after he came on. Watching the highlights back i’m not sure what position he was in. Scoring position is the obvious answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 3 hours ago, MaVilla said: we dont want either, why is your argument towards the lowest common denominator? We need to be getting payers with both attributes. Agreed. Unfortunately, our wingers all have one decent attribute but not very well rounded games. Traore has a very silky touch, Trezeguet works hard and El Ghazi is capable of scoring screamers. As all round footballers though, they’re not good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Would keep him over El Ghazi just because of his workrate. Both are inconsistent but even when Trezeguet is poor he is at least putting a shift in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Both he and El Ghazi need to be improved upon if we want to keep developing and progressing as a club... Neither are world beaters... but both HAVE contributed to our improvement and progression over the past few years... I will wish them well when they inevitably leave because they haven’t done anything wrong to us (unless they decide to insult the club or spit at the fans etc etc)... They just aren’t good enough for where we want to be... But kudos to Trez for his contribution yesterday and the run in to the end of last season... and the same to El Ghazi for his performances in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I've seen some Fulham fans who think the 'gun' gesture is meant to be him celebrating 'relegating' them as revenge for the play-off defeat, but that completely ignores the fact that Trézéguet wasn't even with us then and probably couldn't care less if they're relegated or not. Also doesn't take into account that that defeat ended up being a blessing in disguise. Edited April 5, 2021 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 The furore over his gun to the head celebration is just people with nothing better to do trying to find something to be upset about. Nobody knows what his intention was, but I’d wager my house on it not being some kind of incitement for people to shoot themselves. I mean, why would he decide to push that message after scoring a goal for a professional football club, in front of millions of viewers? It’s ridiculous, and I’m glad I’m not on social media to read it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
