jacketspuds Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Definitely a luxury player. If we can bring in better players to play alongside him this summer we might see the best of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The good : He plays off the cuff and with a confidence and relaxed nature that nobody else in the team does.

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 5 a side player. Nice footballer, a bit wek mentally and physically, can't rely on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 You can throw as many goals and assist stats at me as you like, you cant afford to have a player like him in the premier league. Too weak, too slow and gives the ball away constantly. We just get constantly targetted and overran down the righthand side now which not only costs us defensively but offensively too as it keeps the ball away from our most effective players on the other side of the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Do not get blinded by the flash of brilliance every now and then. You have to look at what he brings to the team for the full 90 minutes. And fact is there are more cons than pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Sorry but it was like playing with 10 men today. We had a good first half and he didnt, says it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I find this signing the strangest we’ve made since Smith came in. He doesn’t suit the way in which we look to play at all. I think he’s one I’d be looking to shift on in the summer. His stats are actually pretty good and belie his actual contribution so we could probably get a decent chunk of money for him.

nepal_villan Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Unfortunately, his liabilities outweigh his assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed though, we seemed to be having a really strong summer and this link popped up which I just couldn’t understand. The alarm bells were ringing with all the negativity from the Lyon fans who couldn’t believe the price we were paying. I really, really don’t rate him.

sparrow1988 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 There are 12 goals up for goal of the season on the OS and he’s scored 4 of them. 2 with his right and 2 with his left. I’ve really enjoyed watching him play. He has his faults and he’s inconsistent but he can be magical at times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to fare much better when he can drift left or right rather than cutting in from the wing, he also seems to be more of a threat centrally in and around the box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) At least we've answered one of this season's big questions now we've seen him for a season....he definitely meant that debut volleyed goal at Bristol! Crazy bastard pulls some filthy shit off. Then gets blown over in the wind. Edited May 18, 2021 by May-Z 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vreitti Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 He is the epitome of a luxury player. It's great fun, if you can get away with it. Don't think we're quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we're quite there yet. Think we are with Grealish in the team as he pulls 2 opposition out of position. The space it affords Traore and everyone else is amazing and contributed to our early season form. Edited May 18, 2021 by MrBlack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted May 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2021 A year under his belt and a pre season to come I would not write him off yet. Some wrote off Targett for similar reasons last year now he is a different animal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
