He’s still very much an unknown quantity at the moment. I do to...... But how funny would it be if he came onto the pitch and looked like that guy Souness signed that couldn't kick a ball haha!

I don't think any of his injuries have been his fault though, he has been desperately unlucky. I would also like to think based on our club's ethics and that of our fans he would get incredible support when he steps onto the pitch. Personally, I want him to be a proper asset to the team not for the story alone but if we can avoid buying another CM we can invest in other areas.

He’s just a crock (of shit). I do hope Gbamin gets over his injuries. It’d be nice to know if he can actually be a good player for us, because as of right now I have no idea if he’s good or bad.

StevO Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 It would be fantastic if it turned out the midfielder we needed is already at the club and integrated with the players and staff. I’m not very hopeful because he’s missed so much football, but I’d be very happy. Romey 1878 and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gbamin struts around like a cocky hard man that offers fuck all I’ll judge him on that as well. For me, he got a huge opportunity in signing for us and got injured before having a chance to show himself. Regardless, I think every one wants to see him do well but also weary that he may break down physically at any moment. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 He looked like he needed a decent adjustment period to get up to the pace of the prem. Missing two years of football is gonna make it extra difficult. From good brief cameo there looked to be some talent but it could be another year before we see if he's good enough.

When you look at the amount of time it took Coleman, McCarthy and Gomes to get back to form, it will be even harder for Gbamin. He will need lots of time and patience to get up to speed and I hope people give him that chance. pete0 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 its so strange, in most american sports once someone is fit it only takes maybe a month at most to get up to speed. some people come back from injuries very quickly and pop right in. alex smith QB for washington was out for over a year, once he was fit he came in and was slinging it and did really well. was a brutal injury too. i always wonder why soccer takes players so long to get back to their old self? marathon runners get brutal injuries and they can come back, so i don't think it's the endurance part. what is it?

The one thing I can think is the speed of the game. NFL, though a brutal sport, there is only one league, and is the speed of the game that much different to the speed at college? I actually don’t know, I’m asking. Marathon runners run at their own pace, with little influence from the rest of the pack (if anything their pace can bring them along). With football every league it seems play at a different league. So maybe if a lower league, or slower league, player comes back they may catch up quicker. But the premier league can be so quick you don’t have time to catch your breath or even time to think. Only assumptions anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only assumptions anyway. yeah the NFL is a lot faster than college game. i've thought about this some more and maybe it has to do with your "touch". most sports just run with their legs, so you just have to be able to run again after injury. football you have your first touch when the ball hits you, then you have all the various shooting/passing techniques which require different strength kicks and types of kicking. so the players can run around fine, but it's those fine skills with the feet that take remembering/re-learning.
