ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He was ok today, but i hope hes not in the 1st team in about 4 weeks, because we should be better than that.Weimanns not good enough either.CB will be back soon, but we need better players off him. Next 2 signings will be very interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 His athletic ability doesn't result in anything though. Maybe he'll close someone down half a second faster or outpace his marker before spooning the ball out. I'd rather have someone who can do something with the ball. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I bet we could get Usain Bolt for far less than we pay Gabriel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish comes to mind. Cole if he could play 90 minutes week in week out. Kozak and Benteke can't come back soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PandaMac Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Why he's in the first 11 is beyond me. At this point he's an impact sub at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite a lot of pressure on this kid; and your post is also based on about 30 minutes of Premier League football. Hell of a mantle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Maybe I just think a promising youngster with everything to prove has more to offer than a shit pace merchant who hasn't shown up to a game for about 5 years now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed gets him there faster but his brain nullifies that most often time. He seems to think he's a target man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There's quite a lot of pressure on this kid; and your post is also based on about 30 minutes of Premier League football. Hell of a mantle There will always be pressure on any player who makes the step up. That's part and parcel of top-flight football and something he must deal with. I don't get this 'cotton wool' mentality surrounding our academy players, I really don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Gabby looks poor but still offers more than Bent. I'd prefer neither of them played if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this 'cotton wool' mentality surrounding our academy players, I really don't. My main concern is our fans. If you don't produce, you get slated. Hopefully with Grealish it'll be different (I think it will be, to be fair) but he really needs time. There's a huge expectation with him - and I mean expectation, rather than hope.

He doesn't move much but put the ball in the box and he'll be there. Even try Weimann as he still moves about Gabby is getting more and more stationary. He never runs a channel anymore at one stage he was marking a CM!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
