Guest bimpy474 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I liked this lad, when it came out that Pardew didn't think he was progressing i was a bit miffed back then. I thought he was ok when i saw him, especially given he was only 19 and never played first team football before. Again another flair type of player, Pards really isn't a fan of those types is he Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a tidy passer of the ball, but i thought there was a bit of flair there. That and with him being so young i felt Pardew was very harsh on him.

Again another flair type of player, Pards really isn't a fan of those types is he The YT video I saw of him when he signed showed a player who looked like a flair player, but Pardew used him in a defensive mid role in the only game I saw him play here. Or maybe he was meant to be the attacking mid but was told to concentrate on tracking back like Marveaux. In any case, from what I saw on YT I'm not that surprised he's got a few goals and assists.

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't know, it's still the Greek league so I don't think much has changed for him. What's the point of sending him there then?

SEMTEX Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't know, it's still the Greek league so I don't think much has changed for him. What's the point of sending him there then? He's literally done as well as possible and people are still saying this. He's gone to a league, albeit not the best league in the world, and he's done well. Most of our youth go to shit leagues and do poorly ffs. This guy has proven to be good enough to play in the Greek league, he has passed his first test, now next year challenge him in a better league. Preferably the Premier League.. in our team.

I'd wager the standard is better than most of the leagues are other youngsters are in. Done the best he can, deserves a shot here imo Yeah definitely. I think the Greek league has some big ol' games that will be invaluable experience, amongst a sea of mediocrity. Mediocrity that is still significantly better than the SPL.

NUFC_Chris Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Watched the end of it on a stream, looked like a bit of bother kicking off. Matched stopped for flares being chucked on the pitch.
