midds Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That block towards the end, looks better every time you see it. Sounds daft but that block was worth a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewBoyPeetah Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks a solid purchase so far, really quite excited by his future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Didn't expect him to be getting the nod in a premier league match this earlier. Obviously impressed the bosses at the club and wasn't overawed by the occasion at all today, slotted in well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 He just fills you with more confidence than any of the other youngsters we would bring on. Still not perfect but you know he'd give his all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ive liked the look of Amalfitano the times I saw him in pre-season. Why isnt he getting time ahead of Obertan? Otherwise I do agree with Dyeyzzon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I do agree with Dyeyzzon. I had the same thought. Something along the lines of: Tiote Cabaye Amalfitano Marveaux Hatem Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Has a lot of prescence and awareness for one so young. Stepped up to the PL plate almost effortlessly. He is going to be a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Similar thoughts on Amalfitano, surprised he didn't get more time on Thursday. That said the one with more than his fair share of head has been alright the last 2-3 games and is definitely trying to use his ridiculous pace more. As for Bigi I am genuinely tempted to get his name on my shirt, haven't done that for years (given I am an adult) but he really is becoming a real favourite very quickly.

Jack Flash Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 He just fills you with more confidence than any of the other youngsters we would bring on. Still not perfect but you know he'd give his all. I was worried when he came on. He's looked a bit too over enthusiastic in the few times I've seen him previously and thought it would be too much for him a this stage but by the end I was clapping him off the pitch. I'm sure he didn't want the game to end. Not sure how he'd have fared in the first half though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I kept on reminding myself "This guy is 18" because he played like someone with a lot more experience. Someone else said it the other day, but even after his first few iffy passes he never stopped asking for the ball and never hid, which is very encouraging. Dat block, also. Glad MOTD highlighted how good it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah was worried the crowd might get on his back after a few wayward passes and some truly awful freekicks the other night, but for an 18 year old really has come in and done well. Think he'll definitely grow in confidence as he goes on and playing/training with Tiote can only bring him on. A lot of press and fans haven't said much about our signings this past window but he's one I'm really happy we got in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Bags of potential, could be a very good player for us. Reminds me a bit of when N'Zogbia turned up from pretty much nowhere and very quickly became an essential part of the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Think he had a terrific debut tbf. was neat and tidy and the ball all the time picking out players for passes in good position all the time. Alot of the time he forced the villa game out wide where they didn't really want to be aswell. And he's 18, by the time he's getting 23-24 he will be a class player. Allready ahead of the likes of Gosling for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Some arsehole behind me had a go at him for just about everything, total silence when he put in that block. His wife was the funniest. Her "this referee must be from London" Him "why is that?" Her "because he's got it in for us and siding with them" Him "........" Me "muhahaha" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Love him, has a great talent and seems such a nice lad to boot. I have no problems with him having significant minutes in the Premier League still very raw but has a very wise head on his shoulders which defies his age. Very pleased Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
