Flip Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Love the way he comes out and wins the ball rather than letting the other team have it and then defending Reminds me of Lucio except he's not as strong in the air. Everytime he wins the ball he looks to go forward, it's just pure class. Hopefully he is Inter Lucio rather than Bayern Lucio Hope he is the Bayer Leverkusen one, the one that scored free-kicks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 He won far more headers later on versus Pelle by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Also misjudged the flight of the ball for headers a few times... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 This lad has ability clear for all to see, think he will be class for us. He really could do with a leader like organiser next to him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 This lad has ability clear for all to see, think he will be class for us.

He really could do with a leader like organiser next to him though Was the opinion I was gathering as the game went on. Someone like a Jose Fonte character alongside him would be ace.

Jayson Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I really like the little shoulder nudges he does, dunno if anyone noticed. Did one when Mane was pretty much through when they chipped one over the top & couldnt stand his ground to control it. Very subtly puts them off balance, but its too small a motion for it to look a foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Gomis, (Eder), Rooney, (Depay), Giroud, Walcott ALl before September. A good spread of strikers he'l be up against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 There was one moment when he the midfield was caught out and he was essentially 1 v 1 against an attacker moving at pace and he just read the ball, stepped in front of the attacker and came away with it like there was no problem. Anyone else in our defence and that moment is either a card or the player has a 1 v 1 with Krul. I also like how he steps up with the ball at his feet and opens attacking angles from defence. It's wonderful to see someone play the game from that position rather than just drop their arse and hoof it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that moment too, was ace, reminded me of Colo when he was actually in his pomp and 1v1 with an attacker you weren't very worried Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Aye he seems to read the game pretty well. Looks fairly quick. Considering all of our defenders lost the majority of their aerial duels - it's a massive area for us to look at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
