PaulC Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Quick strong on the ball and intelligent usage of it too. I like him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) dunno why we signed that crock of shit wesley in the summer when this guy was available. Why didn't we sign Smatter? Cost he's African not brazillian? He's come into the team against leicester and hit the ground running. doing the basics Wesley failed to even look like doing until around xmas. The ball sticks when we boot it up he can chest it, control it, hold it and give it nicely. and he caused panic in the box for the goal I thought he had scored it. when he gets a few more goals he could turn into a poundland sane.

Tomaszk Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Proper all-round striker. Really good. Was he tired does anyone think? He seemed OK to me when he got taken off, seemed still to be making something from most of the nothing balls in his direction. We need him on the pitch for 90 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Was impressed by everything except the finish. Is a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 He attacks the ball in the box which is a massive upgrade on anything else we had. Everything else he does is just a bonus. 10m well spent. I like him already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Loved that he went to head the own goal on the chance it made it to him, that's real striker's instinct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game with my Dad and said to him that, if at any time Smith subbed him off it would be a huge mistake because he looked fit as a fiddle and was a threat all game.

Do you realise that Wesley could set a new record this season ? He could very easily end the season scoring only 5 goals less than when he was playing ?!

AntrimBlack Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 He was absolutely excellent. Some great touches. Bargain. Fair play, it's a big well done this time to the management/scouting team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks a really decent player, bit of everything, pace, strength, aerial ability, quick feet, good control and passing....just need to feed him some decent goal scoring opportunities now!

Thug Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 He just looks like he’ll be first to the ball every single time. Lovely touch, awareness, strength, and even a little bit of skill. And as an added bonus, I’ve not seen him on the floor or moaning even ONCE. Proper footballer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Without this turning into a Wesley bashing I think it's remarkable but not surprising to see what a huge difference it is between the intelligence and understanding of the game it is between Samatta and Wesley. Samatta makes intelligent runs, reads what his teammates are doing or trying to do. He anticipates what defenders will do and where there will be areas to exploit. Wesley just didn't do these things, or at least not on a reliable basis. He must be so much easier to play with and harder to play against. That we also finally have an aerial threat also means our many crosses might cause some trouble. Love this guy so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
