  1. He looks more like a withdrawn striker -  a replacement for Ayoze, rather than Rondon. And he looks pretty decent too, so I'm prepared to buy into the dream for the time being.

     

    Um ... no.

     

    I'm only going by a Youtube video, but in the vast majority of the clips he was picking the ball up deep or out wide, with team mates ahead of him. He didn't look like a Rondon type at all.

     

     

    Yeah, I know. Was more the idea of Perez being replaced I didn't agree with.

     

    Regarding Joelinton's position though, from transfermarkt he does seems to have transitioned more into a lead striker this season, and interestingly, has played that role in the 3-4-2-1 system we use currently as well as in a 3-4-1-2. Although as you rightly said, he has also played the Ayoze position too in our current setup. Seems versatile, which is nice.

     

    Makes sense that Rafa would have enquired about him, in anticipation of the club messing up the Rondon signing in the summer. The club would gladly then mess any deal for this guy up too though. All set for a wonderful summer.

  3. For anyone that hasn't seen it (official Sky channel so it's areet)

     

     

    This is so terrible.

     

    Why are the other Chelsea players letting some snotty nosed 24 year old kid that just joined and has proved nothing carry on like that?

     

    Cannot believe that. David Luiz is so weak there. Should have smacked the heck out of him.

     

    Rotten club.

  4. Pretty much :lol:

     

    He's basically the same type of striker but within Ashley's age range and potential resale value stipulation.

     

    Be interesting to see if they are willing to perhaps pay around £25 - £30 million (Which is where I imagine it might end up) for him rather than the £16 million for Rondon.

  5. Reading his whoscored breakdown and watching some of his highights he is very much a Rondon type.

     

    Guy is a monster.

    Those leg muscles.  :drool:

     

    Obafemi levels :lol:

     

    In his highlight video the way he flings some defenders around and how they bounce off him is almost comical. Seems to have some skill, technique and mobility too.

     

    Looks a talent, and probably who Rafa wants if the club aren't willing to sign up Rondon in the summer. At that quoted price it appears we'll have a ton of work to do convincing his club to sell.

     

     

  6. Liverpool should be ashamed of themselves here.

     

    Man U have had to replace 3 experienced players in the first half and Matic, Lingaard and Martial weren't even available to start to begin with.

     

    Terrible if they don't win here. Unacceptable even.

  7. Zaha gets constantly kicked all over and still carries on tbf. He dives though, that's the problem rather than bravery imo.

     

    For the type of player he is he has to accept that it comes with the territory.

     

    Needs to stop diving and expecting the ref to give him everything and getting caught up in all that. Think it actually throws him off his game.

     

    Should just focus on what he's doing and let the ref make the calls. Almost seems as though he goes down because he's scared his move won't come off or something, like he's given up in his mind already. Such a strange player.

     

    Think he could be so much better with a more positive mindset. Looks for excuses so much.
