I like to think of it as unorthodox He is definitely strong and powerful but will need to keep the ball closer if he doesn't want to lose it every time he has it.

Playing in lower tier league and not regular starter. No other clubs in for him but people going on like he's the second coming.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just a thought, but, since he seems to offer a similar skill set to Diaby, could he in fact have been brought in to rotate with Diaby? Switching between the wing and just behind/alongside Watkins? As opposed to being a regular starter alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the opposite tbf.Seems to have real control of the ball . And keeps his head up while he does so. But i always am overwhelmingly positive with new signings ...

Switching between the wing and just behind/alongside Watkins? As opposed to being a regular starter alongside him. Teams don't usually rotate record signings. When Liverpool won league and played Europe some players played every comp. Only Pep rotates a lot because they have ridiculous squad but even then some players play bulk games. There's weird obsession on here to have two players for every position(not a bad thing) but mandatory rotation for the sake of it. Team continuity is underrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times we will see him instead of Diaby, at times alongside him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Maybe it will be a shrewd signing. It's not like we've never signed crocked, or "past it", or unwanted players that turned out to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
