Raconteur Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 He’s a good player, but not a special player. Those kind of players cost at least double the price, maybe worth bearing in mind. I personally thought he had a good game and has been a huge upgrade. I fear unless we bring in more like him though, expectations will go unmatched. He’s a good player in the way Lejune is rather than Clark. If anyone expects him to pull up trees and be some kind of talisman, I’d wager he’ll be more Perez for us than HBA sadly so don’t build any hopes up. But hey, at least he’s no Joselu... That’s a really good assessment - he might well be our record signing, but that doesn’t mean anything when terrible players go for bigger transfer fees. Good player, but not the type to elevate us to another level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 He's quality man, he's our best player imo. I'd argue the way we are set up isn't exactly suited to getting the best out of him kind. However we are in survival mode 24/7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we are in survival mode 24/7. Agree with this. He's looked sharp to me, bright and energetic. Just we have to defend with our entire team against anyone who can play, and we're incredibly bad at keeping possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 He's been good and he's certainly improved us, but some of the praise imo has been slightly OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 IMHO he is not being played in the right way. He was more of a number 10 for Atlanta but is playing more on the left hand side for us. The lack of quality in the squad and the fact as mentioned above, we are playing to avoid going down is certainly a factor also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Can clearly see the lad has quality and I'd say hes had a decent start but I don't think its unfair to say that the goals/assists need to come otherwise people will start to wonder, especially with his price tag. As has been said I would like to see him more advanced, hes being fairly easily marked at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just other people wetting their pants too much. We've seen it here time and time again: a player plays well and so he's the best thing since sliced bread; a player plays badly and he's utter shite, shite, shite. There are so many example of this embarrassing bi-polar shit on this board - there's no need to name examples! (of players). But you can hide behind the 'but I'm entitled to my own opinion' crap all you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 He’s a £20 million player which today = just above average and it’s how he is in truth , I’d go as far to say better than average. Because it’s our record signing folk think he should be a world beater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if you're an attacking player at Newcastle unless you hit the ground running you're invariably disliked in double quick time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 It's just nice to have a player on our hands who you look at and see potential that is hard to put a ceiling on. That element of the unknown which makes you that bit more excited before kick-off. He's had good games and some pretty ineffective games thus far; he's taken the game to opponents and created situations that have lead to goals, and he's also lost the ball and gave opportunities for the opposition to score. Whilst I'm pretty certain we haven't seen him at his attacking best yet (relative to his high technical ability and attacking proficiency), I think perhaps just as importantly we have seen a determined, willing and brave player not at all overawed by his new environment, who I believe when settled, could set this place alight.

However, it would only be over the top if someone claimed that he was better than Messi. I'm yet to see anything about Almiron where people are claiming he should be playing for Barca.

What's even funny about it? I've obviously missed the "over the top" praise, unless just thinking a player is good when you think he's average is automatically "over the top"?

Astroblack Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I for one am really happy with him. He's better than anything else we had. He's got lightning quick pace. He's unpredictable. A genuine livewire with plenty of stamina. He kind of reminds me of Di Maria. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
