Sifu Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The lad looks like he's slowly adapting to the PL, sure he wasn't good in his first couple of months but he is getting there. So yeah he's going to score against us on Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Aye let's not tempt fate. I'm still haunted by my decision to shout "CHOYEEEEE!!!" in daft squeaky voice every time Somen Tchoyi touched the ball, he then went on and scored 3.

gbandit Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very good player tbh. He's got good technique but doesn't influence games enough. I think he'll prove to be a poor signing for what they paid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Looks a fine player from what I've seen, quick and talented, taken a bit to get settled but seems on his way now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very good player tbh. He's got good technique but doesn't influence games enough. I think he'll prove to be a poor signing for what they paid Seems very lightweight and a bit lethargic at times.. but aye, his technique, balance and vision is on par with Ben Arfa / Dembele / Silva.. Love players like that. He'll be a success, given time.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonZA Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Looks a fine player from what I've seen, quick and talented, taken a bit to get settled but seems on his way now. Dunno about "quick", but he sure is talented and if used correctly in a system that encourages his strengths and covers for his weaknesses, then he could end up being quite a threat. Not sure whether this will happen at Fulham with their current squad and imo (and as mentioned before by other posters) they over-paid for him. Kinda like a left footed Nico Kranjcar - technically gifted and very good vision but due to their lack of mobility and physicality may struggle in the PL. F**k it, now just watch him score a screamer against us on Sat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He's mobile and strong. He's a different player to the likes of Ben Arfa and Silva. He's got great technique so everyone thinks he's an attacking midfielder, but he's not. He plays more forward and he'll score a lot more. In time, people will see his quality. Jol has just set up the team in the way he has to allow Ruiz time to settle in. He didn't get enough of the ball playing up front at the start, so he pulled him back to get him more of the ball. It's called good management and making use of the players he has in his squad. When's he's familiar with the pace of the game, he'll be moved further up the pitch and he'll be more dangerous.

Taylor Swift Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He's easily worth 12m, by the way, and is good enough to play for a top 4 side. Young for 18m, Downing for 20m, Valencia for 18m etc. This guy is worth 15m+ in this market. The only doubt was whether he would settle in but he looks well on the way to doing that now.

Alberto2005 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Doesn't look mobile to me, infact it's looked like his biggest weakness when I've seen him. I expect him to be a very important player for Fulham though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, think people are slightly overstating how good he is. Yes he would've been a good player for us, but so far I've seen little to suggest he's been brilliant value for money at that price Fulham paid, let alone an extra £5m or so. Also, in hindsight, I'm very glad we didn't end up buying him. Yes he's a good player, but he was never going to be the out-and-out striker we needed.

Taylor Swift Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You guys are judging him far too quickly - as many on here did exactly the same after his first few matches in which he was shit. People have changed their tune now but you're still reserving far too much judgment for no reason. Quality always shines through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The lads quality. Give it 18 months and we'll all see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Going to see what he does this season before properly judging him like. He is slowly getting to grips with the PL from what I've seen recently (well let's say, he's looking better these days compared to how he performed at the start of the season).
