thenige Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Haller is supposed to be pretty highly rated - was just reading one of those stats analysis pieces in which someone asks who would make the better signing - Haller or Vincent Janssen, and the guy picks Haller. http://statsbomb.com/2016/04/statsbomb-mailbag-who-should-arsenal-buy-in-midfield-more-transfer-shopping/ Just watched a random youtube video of him and he looks like a poor man's Shola. Good at pens mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah - I just scanned through a video of him and he seemed to score a lot of penalties... Now got French football guys on twitter saying he never appears to be as good as his scoring record suggests. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 He looked more mobile than Mitrovic and showed some really deft touches and nice link up play. His finishing didn't look great, though and there certainly were a load of pens in the videos I watched. Most of the first video, was him missing free headers and decent chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sounds like this Haller would be direct competition for Mitro to lead the line. Do think Gayle seems like he's better suited to playing just off the front man long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment just seemed to suggest his finishing didn't look great, mostly pens, missed free headers etc and that couldn't be farther from the truth on De Jong's time at Twente and PSV. Which is what I'm referring to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I'm referring to. I saw his youtube video when he signed and his finishing did look pretty clinical tbf. But when he was here he wasn't looking to get on the end of anything and if he did have any efforts on goal they lacked any conviction. He just didn't look a Newcastle player.

Kanji Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I thought he was going to be brilliant for us when we were lost out on signing him, and then when we got him in on loan he looked FAR from the player who ripped it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Caulkin has said that Haller is one target but we haven't bid yet as he is just one of a number of targets and we haven't decided yet. He also says we have bids in for wingers, and Everton are delaying the Galloway deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
