To be honest if he isn't as good as Pele was then I don't want to f***ing know. Not good enough for us. 

 

fuck. I think he's only as good as Messi. Move on.

 

We're only allowed to compare him to black players*, remember?

 

Edit: *Who are Arfican.

From what i've seen he's got abit of the Martins about him.

 

Not reffering to his inconsistant form (i don't know about his form) but in the way he moves his feet, very unorthadox like Kanu or Lua Lua. He has an African style. He looks like he can use his head too.

Strange that.

 

I don't mean it in any sort of racist way, just to be clear. I've always thought African's have played in a somewhat different style. Fuck it, pass me the spade.

 

:yikes:

Martin's pace, shooting, directness and workrate would be nice, like.

The bloke is a football weakling. He's s***.

 

He's not. He had some very useful attributes. We'd have gone down in 06-07 without him, and fuck knows where we'd be now if that had happened.

So here is the report from the Ligue 1 expert I talked about earlier...

 

STRENGTHS

 

- Extremely good on his head. A very good header of the ball.

- A target man.

- His shots are very hard. He shots "like a horse".

- His technique is both functional and worth seeing (attracting).

- Will get points (assists, goals).

 

WEAKNESS / NOT SO GOOD THINGS

 

- He has attitude problems.

- On the field he may sometimes have trouble controlling his emotions.

 

POSITIONS

 

- Can play in many different positions.

- Can be a poacher, like Inzaghi.

- He can play on the wing in the same role as Gervinho.

- But for the most of the time he plays like a target man in attack with 1 or 2 strikers. That is his best role.

- Not so very good on the right wing in a 4-4-2 formation.

 

OTHER

 

- He maybe could be a little bit more faster. Even though he doesn't lack pace.

- Not very consistent.

- A class player! (When he wants).

Attitude problems are a worry but since the rest of our team seem pretty level headed that may help calm him or whatever. Sounds good otherwise, especially the flexibility, if he is good in gervinho role, gives us an Obertan alternative  :hmm:

Remember watching plenty of clips on youtube and he certainly is good in the air. In fact most of the goals were headed goals so he defo uses his 6'2 height very well and has an excellent leap on him. Carr et al have obviously looked at his skills and figured they're ideal for the prem.

 

Possible 16m sale in the summer after impressing? :lol:

Worries me that we are signing another player destined for ANC football.  We need a European or English striker as well IMO otherwise we will be short in the critical months of Jan/Feb.  PL will surely be off in the summer - leaving us with Best, Shola, Ba, Maiga (and one more ideally).
