Tribesman Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I could be wrong, but from what I have seen he seems more of a creative player rather someone that will score 10 to 15 goals per season under the correct coaching. I actually think him and Rondon up front would have been an interesting partnership up front. He is a warning sign though from what is to come from the club next summer if its still a Premier League club. They signed a player that was given no consideration if he would fit into a managers plans, they only cared about how much profit could be made from him which is the same mistake we have made from the likes of Thauvin and Cabella. The club will protest that no club gives any manager full power to sign who they want which is true these days, but no club sign players without any consideration for how they fit into a team. There will be more signings like this in the summer which will make the squad even more unbalanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 profit motive doesn't make sense for joelinton tbph, not at a reported cost of 40m anyways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It’s like they magically thought a raw, young Brazilian striker will hit the ground running under the expert tutelage of a proven manager and coach in Steve Bruce. A man who has a track record for developing strikers from outside of England. That the atmosphere post Rafa leaving, Rondon and Perez going was going to not cause any issues for said young player. A player with documented homesickness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It’s like they magically thought a raw, young Brazilian striker will hit the ground running under the expert tutelage of a proven manager and coach in Steve Bruce. It worked the other way round though. Big Phil Scolari signed Geoff Horsfield for £30m in the late nineties and he was Palmeiras' top goalscorer for years.

Newcastle Fan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Its strange to see a striker (if he is a striker) who doesn't know how to kick the ball properly, every time he does he's off balance or his body movement is wrong and its either too weak or off target.

Guest Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Will be a gamble. They either keep him in the hope he single-handedly keeps them up, or they brace themselves to be fucked over in the EFL by FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Love Grealish. Wonder if anyone will try for him in Jan. Villa are down pretty much he's brilliant, if southgate has any sense whatsoever he'd get him in the team asap and not drop him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Have rated Grealish from the championship days. He's a quality player. A number of people on here said he was no good at the time though, and we're quite adamant and cocky about it, which I found quite irritating at the time.

Yeah, at the time I got the impression people couldn't look past his persona, which I thought was a totally different issue. Footballing wise the guy is a classy player. One of those that is never hurried and can play the game at his own pace and make things happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest godzilla Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 He will be out on loan next season and then sold for about 5-10 million. Whoever, selected this donkey should be sacked (i.e. Nickson) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a propheteer Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 No way did he cost 40m like. Something is seriously off with this deal. He isn't even worth a quarter of that from what we've seen. No way would Ashley spend that on him. There would be no chance of even making half of 40m back never mind making money on him.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The thing is even if he had been decent and done alright for a few seasons you would never make back more than 40 million on him, unless he was Ronaldo levels of brilliance, and we only spend money to make money, so its 100% a dodgy deal, some sort of weird tax or kickback situation. I'm not clued up on such things but would it be possible? No fucking way we've splashed out 40 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
