Kanji Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 He'll be an excellent player for us soon, I'm still confident of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The rapid emergence of Bigi means he's a bit surplus. Would rather have gone for a more forward thinking player in hindsight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 He will come good. He needs to buff up a bit. They didn't call him the new Seedorf for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 They did however call Jermaine Jenas the new Patrick Vieira for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Roughly 10 matches is the correct length of time one should pass judgement on a player who plays for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Roughly 10 matches is the correct length of time one should pass judgement on a player who plays for NUFC. Perch, Nolan, Coloccini & R.Taylor disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch, Nolan, Coloccini & R.Taylor disagree. Enrique and Best too. Ryan Taylor is still the same player he was when he joined tbh. Solid, versatile professional with the penchant for the spectacular but generally an average footballer. He's just been around long enough to score his quota of screamers and put himself into folklore with THAT goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 AmI allowed to pass judgement and conclude he was not what I think we needed based on the fact I've seen him play for Ajax for the last five or so seasons, or is that irrelevant?

morpeth mag Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Struggled so far but there's many a player come into the league and had a mediocre first season. Pires comes to mind. I'll judge next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think Tiote would be the player he turned into? The Forest fans thought Perch would never step up, IIRC Coventry fans didn't care at all about Best leaving etc... Okay Anita cost a fair bit more than those but it is far too early to be judging a player and with all those occasions where it has been thrown back in peoples faces I am surprised some still come out with the 'I know it's early..' stuff.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I know the circumstances are massively different and the period of time huge but Saylor was nowhere as good as a defender a few years ago as he is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felling Mag Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Im still pretty confident he'll become a decent enough player for us. Versatile players always get their chance eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 A central midfielder shouldn't have been our first and only major signing during the last transfer window when we were crying out for defenders and a forward. Spending £8 million on midfield and nothing on defence and attack has already cost us and I bet we make the same mistake again because we'll be looking for what we think is value rather than what we actually need. On that basis the signing of Anita was madness and should have been way down our list of priorities. Having said that, he shouldn't be written off after so few games.

Tiresias Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think he'll be fine just needs to adapt to the league, and agree we should have signed several positions before this but I don't think we operate like that, think we keep tabs on several players and bid when we can for them. We didn't have enough defenders shortlisted evidently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not writing him off at all by the way. He's our player now, and for that reason I hope he proves to be a world beater. Fact remains I've seen more of him than most on here and whilst you're all hoping and perhaps expecting him to undergo the magic Graham Carr signing effect, I've not seen much to suggest he was particularly undervalued when we got him. My expectation for him is to become a fairly solid defensive midfield player (which is his best position), no more no less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectation for him is to become a fairly solid defensive midfield player (which is his best position), no more no less. I've personally got no expectations of him as I have nothing to base any expectations on, at most I hope he comes good and just feel that he has time on his side to turn out to be a good signing. I have no idea whether he's capable of pulling that off or not and can't judge him this early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What's going on with this guy, why's he not getting a game? Given his versatility and the fact that not many of our lot are setting the world alight you'd think he'd play. Amazed that Simpson has just strolled back into the team like he's one of our most important players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
