Crumpy Gunt Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Was gash tonight. Really poor in the main. Your support is fucking shit! No it isn't. He just doesn't look good enough - especially for the relegation battle ahead. Early days yet though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 His brother seems to be banging them in for Norwich now Jacob's left. Typical. Like him and Aarons on the pitch together and would like to see more of it. Preferably with a decent no 10 always making an angle/providing a link between them.

Tooj Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 This transfer reeks of the old system. I'll be dissapointed if it turns out that Rafa was the main thrust behind it. Why? He's started on game ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Interesting to see how this kid is seen after a few games compared to Cabella and Thauvin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Some people are literally mental. Imagine getting called a waste of money after less than 90 minutes of playing time. Absolutely pathetic. Probably the same people who claim we'd be worse off without Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontenacity Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So what do you think Rafa's plan for this guy is this season? Seems unlikely he would have spent £12mn if he didn't intend for him to get games early on, given that by the time he signed him Rafa knew Ashley was being a dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Probably to play left-wing but Atsu's started better than expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 From the stands he bears a striking resemblance to Dele Ali, not at all up close though. Think he was signed expecting to be a starter but Atsu has started really well. He'll get a fair few minutes over the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 He was probably a bit of a frustration signing. We had missed out on several primary targets when we signed him, so maybe we just wanted to get a deal done and the price maybe misled us into thinking he would be straight into the first team. £12m is nothing in this bonkers market for most Prem teams, but for us it clearly is not.

Budgie Smuggler Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I watched his brother play against Villa the other week and he was excellent. Kept drifting between left wing in a 4-5-1 & joining Jerome to make a 2 up top. Was pretty much their only dangerous player, looked to have bags of potential. Hopefully Jacob has similar ability if given a run of games at any point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 He probably will need to gain a better understanding of Rafa's "template" tactical plan before playing regularly. I think that's one reason why Laazar didn't play as much.(Looked thick as fuck) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 He'll get loads of time this season. He's been brought in as a long term starter but an immediate short term option for competition that adds a different dynamic. Atsu and Ritchie will dip in and out of form, regardless of injuries, and we'll have an exciting player ready to step in that could make the position his own. Rafa, as always, is going with something a little more experienced first. He'll get lots of sub action too, mind. Next year, I expect he'll make the position his own.
