relámpago blanco Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Erm, I think Joelinton will be passing out the oranges, and even then most of them will end up on the floor. He is a decent player he just isn't a young Andy Carroll. He needs to be an outside forward or deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Joelinton isn't going to magically turn into a player for us. He clearly needs detailed coaching which he's not going to get. With it I could see him in the 10 spot personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Wilson, Joelinton, ASM, Almiron & Fraser....should have some goals in them next season. You certainly won’t playing all of them at once so we have at least one decent attacking option off them bench. I think Joelinton is going to relish having a target man up front with him. Think we'll see a different player this season. Are you suggesting that we might play with some sort of tactics? I wouldn't go that far - playing with a striker will be more similar to his role at Hockenheim. So I think we'll see an improvement but lets face it the bench mark from last season is quite low..

Dr Jinx Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Clearly Joelinton is a better player than what we saw last season. Thrown up front on his own asked to be Andy Carroll, what did anyone expect. He did miss chances that a striker should be scoring but he’s not a striker and we basically created fuck all for him all season anyway. With others getting forward and creating space, he will look a different player, also with the benefit of having a year to settle in. I haven’t given up on him yet.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Tend to agree, although I don’t think that means he’s good enough for the PL necessarily. Or that we will ever get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Finally the club spend some of the 35m Carrol money on his replacement. If they go out and spend some money on Enrique’s replacement as well, that’s when I’ll no longer be able to contain my excitement and will have to admit to being wrong about Ashley after all and accept that if Rafa was still here and not Bruce, Joselu would have no doubt be our number 9 and Owen still our record buy.

Hhtoon Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I read somewhere that he looks great in training so I always feel hopeful that with confidence he'll come good. Then I remember that someone in an interview claimed that Obertan was one of the most skillful players they'd played with. Unfortunately he was largely average in games so it doesn't always translate. Could go either way really ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Think it was Steve Sidwell that said in training at Stoke, Joselu was the best finisher he’d ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The most worrying thing about Joelinton isn't the chances he missed, it's that he never even looked bothered enough even get to the chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Joelinton can’t play centre forward and his chronic lack of pace severely restricts him in any other position where we already have better options. I’ll be amazed if he sees much game time unless he starts miraculously banging them in. We get another striker in and we’ll be looking to offload him.

He’s slow alright, pace off the mark is terrible, it’s a huge problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Wilson is essentially a Darren Bent regen; it's a shame his best days are apparently behind him pace-wise, but it's still nice to have an all-rounder of a striker that can make intelligent runs into the box and hit the ball with some conviction.

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 kind of wild the variance of opinions on the type of player he is mind, we've got rondon-lite, bent-regen among other i've not seen enough of him to comment tbph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I feel like Wilson gets mischaracterized as a target man of sorts when his play style is much closer to Gayle's than it is to, say, Carroll's. Not as flimsy as Gayle, and decent in the air, so yeah solid all-rounder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 the little i've seen i'd tend to agree, always thought he was run in behind/the channels type of striker rather than wanting it fired at him from 60 yards to fight with the CBs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
