Mirallas Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Don't tease! Not sure if I'm enthusiastic about it if it were true. I haven't seen him perform decently for EFC so far. He seems to be very stubborn and selfish atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 he's a kid that's come from a different footballing culture...experience will help with decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Even if he only shows what he has done so far and nothing more I'd still like him to stay here. He's 19 so he's only going to grow and improve. And if he doesn't realise his potential we'd still be able to sell him for a decent amount of money.

Lowensda Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 The comparisons to Ronaldo are right. When he first arrived in the UK, he was used sparingly and showed only glimpses of brilliance (ala GD). He just needs time to learn the consistency. If he was here next year on a second year loan, I pretty much guarantee he'd be a starter in our first 11. Replacing Pienaar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 wow now hold on... Did you just compare Gerry with Ronaldo?dorect, flamboyant, bit too greedy at times, bit too fancy at times... Good comparison to CR when he first arrived in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 that run against spurs brought the kind of excitement we haven't seen in a while...but other times he couldn't trap a bag of cement Romey 1878, Lowensda and Sibdane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 He showed one great move as a substitute and people vote him MOTM But tbh, he is a big talent with great potential. He'll just need to develop quickly if he wants to make a mentionable contribution this year to make his loan spell at EFC worthwile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be physical and a lot of defensive work required. Id happily be proven wrong though! That's why I wouldn't have him out wide. I'd play him behind Lukaku and just tell him to run at Skrtel and Sakho all game long. They'll hate his pace and trickery. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that if he's ever to make it at Barca he needs to deal with that sort of thing. Sink or swim. Personally, I'd rather take a positive risk in the hope of giving them something to worry about and it not work out and us lose than be cautious and have them piss all over us. Again.

I agree, but then put him in against the likes of Stoke. If he goes missing in that game we can cover for him to see if he regains his confidence. Against the shite, we will need 11 players all the time and if he goes missing for 15mins, its a massive strain on the rest. Mind you, he also has to learn to cope with intense atmospheres (El Classico) so this would cover both aspects in 1 game. Hope he thrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebittight Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thought Depardu was very good against Spurs and largely ineffective against Palace. The inconsistency of youth isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
