Popular Post MaVilla Posted October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) aside from his skills etc, i like his physicality, he is clearly built for the PL and he seems to enjoy the physicality and bouncing opposition players off him. not saying he will or wont prove to be a superb signing, but i think he does have all the tools to succeed in the PL. i also think he would be much better cutting inside from the right, but with all our injuries etc, i think we are just using him as we need right now, ie: the left.

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I like him. Seen enough to see the talent. Will only get better. If he is still the same after a few more months I’ll agree with those that think he isn’t good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll see a post shortly about him being used as a scapegoat without the poster understanding what the term scapegoat means. Seen posts here and on Twitter (especially the latter tbf) explicitly saying that he's not good enough, and some are already mooting replacements. If that's not writing him off, I'm not sure what is. To argue how he's performed in matches to date is reasonable, just think that it's way, way too soon to reach solid conclusions like "not good enough" when we've barely seen the bloke play.

They tend to look down not up. Not aware of their surroundings which results in making the wrong decisions during key moments. Traore looks down and not up? No idea what you're seeing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here less than 2 months, probably not even got a home and already been written off because he hasn't settled straight away and turned out to be Totti 2.0.

Zatman Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I do think people got excited by him being a former wonderkid and an Italian international but I always saw him as cover for Ramsey/Diaby and maybe even Buendia Has done better than expected so far and probably played more than expected 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think we won’t see him at his best until he’s playing on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a run of games rhs or as the 10 would suit him more. Once he knows his role well he'll improve, he's already shown some nice stuff though so no crisis or rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post catanzaro Posted October 9, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2023 For this season all that matters is whether Unai thinks he’s worth the effort longer term.. he’s probably playing way more than expected due to our injury issues.. let him acclimatise to our culture as well as our football (the first one may take longer than the latter) and I think he’ll be one of us 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost bizarre how none of his chances has gone in. Can't believe some writing him off already 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 His talent is obvious, has many attributes and considerable stature. I’m convinced he just needs that goal (which he has been desperate for since his debut) and he will be flying… will become a real star for us if he can stay fit and settle into the side (gelling with his teammates)… Early days and he will bring that “stardust” soon… looking forward to it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
