Just not quite good or reliable enough. Expand Wilson has more physicality to his game. Gabigol is pretty anonymous whenever he plays for the national side. Does well in a team built around him with lots of movement. which is the exact opposite to us at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Is that what Howe is building up to eventually, he wants us to be more possession based with frontal movement in and around the outside of the box and down the flanks for runners into the box? Mind I’ve not heard or seen of Barbosa. But fuck it, sign ALL OF THE BRAZILIANS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We need another striker with decent movement and pace that looks to get in behind. Is Gabigol good at that would you say? We essentially need an alternative to Wilson, as he's the only striker we have like that really, as Gayle is absolutely done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The few times I’ve seen him he’s been either great or an absolute lazy bastard. He’s a great finisher and inside the box he’s very good, but outside of it he’s mostly anonymous and doesn’t do much. I might be biased, cause I’m not his biggest fan as he’s a lazy bastard everywhere and possesses nowhere near the talent of a player who should be allowed to do that. He’s no Romario like.

If you watch the video of his goals for Burnley a lot of them came from him running behind the defence onto a through ball. A Burnley fan I know was going on about him not being able to stay onside, but that's possibly just a sign of him making those runs and not having the players to spot them. Expand Wood hasn't scored goals this season though, and while I saw plenty of movement in his highlight videos, not seen much sign of it in his two games for us. He looks lethargic and clumsy.

Expand Ah, okay. Fair enough. Just from a pressing point of view defensively, that doesn't sound great, as it won't work in Howe's setup. Probably why no one's taken a punt on him.
