xLiaaamx Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Sortloth and Depoitre both use their strength better. It's not just that Jos can't score. For a man as big as he is, he's weak as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Doesn't look like anything special tbh. Bumbles headers in that should be struck clean, gets some chances that you'd never get at PL level due to abysmal defending. Not particularly big, fast, technical or anything. He's playing league 2 matches at best in a couple of years and should not be tested ahead of Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing league 2 matches at best in a couple of years and should not be tested ahead of Joselu. I think that's a little harsh. While some of the goals could come straight off a defensive blooper reel he does show good, intelligent movement and instinct to get into the right positions to take the chance. His finishing with his feet is canny too even if some of the headers are fluffed a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 All of my hopes and dreams now rest on this lad's shoulders who I've never seen play a minute of football. I don't think there's any doubt that this kid is certainly our next Shearer. We're gonna be ace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 it's hard to reconcile the near universal opinion that joselu is one of the worst strikers any of us have ever seen play for the club and the idea of giving a lad who is scoring for the stiffs a chance at a few sub spots to see if he hits the ground running you'd think people were calling to cancel rondon's loan and just go with him for the rest of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is a bit harsh, but I'm struggling to see what he is supposed to offer us that we don't already have or what could make him tick on as high level as the PL. He has no qualities that stick out as very good and he hasn't had a sniff at first team action at the age of 19. Time is running out fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 How many times have you watched him play a full 90? Of course he’s nowhere near ready for Premier League football but he clearly has ability. His movement and timing appear to be excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well try someone who might be shit instead of continuing with someone who definitely is shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Gayle and Sorensen will fire us to promotion next season Can he eclipse the iconic Chopra, Campbell, Ranger, Toney and Armstrong? Time to find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ranger could have made it if he wasn't such a bellend and Campbell is a fraggle so no chance in the PL. Chopra was the definition of 'meh', we'll see with Arma. Fuck knows about Toney, never even saw him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I’m only judging by that video of his goals, but that U23 League he’s playing in looks a terrible standard. Not even close to League 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ASP was suggesting we start him in the PL for 6 games, where he can't be dropped! That's completely insane. The kid has done well at u23 but so do a lot of players, he needs to go on loan to league 1/2 and come up against better, stronger, more experienced defenders people in here def against it yeah read that ASP post in more detail, 5-6 starts regardless seems a bit much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest covmag Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Bit fucking harsh like but I get the point. Thing is like good goal scorers he’s always in the right position and that’s all he can do, he doesn’t look the finished article and who knows where he will go. Let’s encourage him and who know?

DJ_NUFC Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You mean people on here who want him to be immediate backup to Rondon don't know what they're talking about? But but Rafa never gives youth a chance, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 He would be though. He may be a better finisher, but currently PL defenders would eat him alive. They wouldn't have to eat him, he wouldn't even present himself. In our current side he'd be virtually invisible. Remember the time we brought that young kid on in the UEFA cup and in 20 minutes he genuinely didn't get a touch of the ball? Think it was the same game Michael Bridges was playing on the right for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
