I thought he was outstanding on Saturday and has been for a few games now - so important to the way we play. Could see him being flogged for a few million - he’s only 23. Pretty much impossible to knock off the ball once he gets going
He’s Robocop. He’s not human. I think he’s actually a very primitive robot who’s AI is a bit ******. He was version 1.
Pretty impossible to get him to pass to you too! He’s a beast when he’s running forward, very impressive. He’s been among our better performers. But if he had any end product, or the ability (and desire) to defend properly, he wouldn’t be a division three player. He might attract admirers but his limitations might mean he doesn’t, I’d sooner have him than not so that would suit me.
He looks like a premier league playing going forward until he gets into the final 3rd then he magically transforms into a league one player. Also he is not great at getting back once he’s given the ball away on the edge of the penalty area.
Getting going isn't the problem. It's slowing down when he gets there, looking up and giving the ball to someone else with a clear shot on goal. He obviously fancies ten goals in his locker before the end of the season.
Looked impressive going forward all the way upto the part were he had to think about what to do. Then it all went a bit ****. His inability to get back and defend quickly enough after he has got forward would also see that side of the field get targeted by opposition teams even more if we were to get promoted.
I said earlier in the season he was M'Voto's twin and had various chunterings. He's got the same lack of intelligence as M'Voto. A far better touch, but it's immaterial if you can't be bothered to do your main job, and the job you think you'd like to do, you have no end product with. If we got any money at all for him, I'd snatch their hand off. He's not getting punished every time in the 3rd tier, in the championship he would be if we were to make it back this season.
Credit where it's due he was good Saturday and has been for a while needs to work on his decision making though.
Hopefully the thinking gene can be coached into him. Aligned with the blasting through tackles gene that would make him a million pound player
