Hafnia Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 What a top lad. Great to see him working on his top attribute... fingers crossed he makes it back to be the player he was athletically before the injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Got to say his attitude is great. So positive. I'm not overly sold on him, never really have been but just having someone like him around the dressing room is great. Hope he proves me wrong on his comeback trail.

markjazzbassist Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 He was one of my favorites before his injury, I hope he's able to come back and have the same or more impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Can't wait to see him back. One of our most exciting players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 A completely different player to our other forwards. It's great to have all of these options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Meant to post this yesterday but forgot and I can't find the tweet now but someone tweeted yesterday that he could be back in 2 weeks. Would be great if true, some pace in the side. Shukes and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have to rely on him and Coleman with the money we've spent but I fully agree I'm hoping both come back and have a big impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll bring pace and unorthodox unpredictable attacking to the side. Any injection of pace will be welcome but after such a long injury I doubt we'll see the best of him until March- April.

I've mentioned it before, but I hope the injury slows him down a little, so he doesn't fall over himself as much and is actually able to control the ball. If that's the case, he really could be an excellent addition at a crucial time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I loved watching him turn defence into attack with his pacey runs. Just needed players to keep up with him so his donkey legs didn't come into play once he had to stop his run. Exciting player. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 He can whip in a great cross and he had pace with a trick but imo he is a crap finisher, struggles to pick a pass and runs into a lot of dead ends. He isnt as good as Geri but at least he adds something to this side that we don't have already (Vlasic may he the closest thing). That could be the difference between a draw and a win.

You could post that first paragraph about Gerry. I always saw him as a one trick pony. At least Bolasi is a little more unpredictable (or he was!) Gerry was just as frustrating to watch at times if not more. I like them both and hope they both fulfil potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts they are about to offer him a new deal and he has played a fair amount, roughly 90 mins left than Messi and started every league game. That may well change when Dembele is fit but he is definitely apart of the first 11 at the moment. I watched him the other week, I think it was against Espanyol, and he was really lively, ripping them to shreds without quite finding that final ball. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think he played 90 minutes in their last game. Did he ever manage that for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from but just the thought of someone picking the ball up and actually running directly at a defense is enough to give me some hope.
