'Prickly' doesn't equal 'abuse on another level'
Generally, the worst on here is people being mildly intemperate.
If people don't see it, not that there is anything TO see necessarily, they won't.
He has that nice smile, does some funky celebrations, came from non-league, quite down to earth, scores loads of headers (not many with his feet though). What's not to like?
He does beat players mainly through power. Surges past them, bundles past them, knocks it past them and uses his pace. He doesn't normally do it through finesse or natural ability IMO. Is it effective? Sometimes, sometimes not. I think his lack of assists and goals with his feet is quite telling about his football ability. But who cares? He scores. Whether that be off his head, shoulder or foot.
Hard to put your finger on it and describe, because he's done a lot to win people over already. For me, he's a player riding the wave of bursting onto the scene from nowhere. I think he is getting a lot of fortune. Fair play.
The only bit I slightly differ with sweeperz is the selfish element. I think he is generally a team player and not intentionally selfish. I just think his football brain is lacking a bit which makes him make poor decisions.
In a years time, I don't think he'll be anywhere near as obvious to the side as people feel he is now.
I suppose time will tell. He's only been a regular in the PL just over a year. Let's see in 2/3 years time.
It's all well and good being technically great with no end product
Lanzini is my favourite player atm but for all his skill he's not often a match winner, Antonio is and that is something that is hard to find especially for a club in our position
Say we get £20/25mil for him who we gonna bring in who can get the same amount of goals (8 in 23 last season too)
If Feghouli or Ayew were showing enough that it's not a risk losing him but atm they aren't and it's too hard to bring in quality replacements in jan
Three musketeers ;cool
Well done.
Better get behind that ;sofa quick sharp.
#incoming
I wasn't happy when I saw him lining up in the back four, not hard to imagine how he felt.
I'm just going to say this, I don't think we're going to buy anyone who's going to make a huge difference to our season and apart from Calleri and Zaza no one is going to leave.
Some of it, imo, is a bit mean.
£5m ;lol
Wanchoo
No way we'll pay that though.
;lol
Liverpool want £20m for Sakho ;nonono
