Owlsend Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Eh, take him or leave him. He looks promising but if we could find someone a bit better, maybe 5 years older for a similar price, I'd be just as happy if not more so. But hey, promising youngster who's only got one full season under his belt... maybe the $ signs are entering my eyes but I can see a good first season in the Prem for this lad and some stupid prices being touted for him... EDIT: Although, like I say... shooting practice... https://youtu.be/mYrUkAvn46A let's sign him up he looks like you take the pressure off nuhiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IstillhateSteveBould Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Competition for Nuhiu? Hopefully outright replacement and huge upgrade. No offence to the lad but big Dave should be nowhere near starting in a 433 or a team with promotion aspirations. Should be sold now with a year left on his deal. Especially if we get this guy in.

trev Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I haven't watched the vids but he's not prolific is he? Think he has scored 8 goals in last 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I haven't watched the vids but he's not prolific is he? He's not BUT looks like the perfect lone front man, quick and powerful and holds the ball up very well, makes intelligent passes to team mates, very good movement too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Think he has scored 8 goals in last 2 seasons.Drogba scored 12 goals in his first 4 seasons, and was older too. I know we maybe wanted a quick fix to goal scoring but Lucas should fit into Carlos' way of playing very well. With Matias and another forward playing off him to score goalsShould also help the likes of Mcgugan and Lopez to get forward to receive the ball off him too Edited July 28, 2015 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He looks like a more mobile version of Nuhiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He had a reasonable record in Portuguese second tier last season on loan but I have no idea what sort of standard that is. Nowhere near Championship I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not moaning but I did expect a decent goal scoring record I'll give the videos a watch and he is young enough to improve what sounds like a good all round game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I like the way Google translates 'Lucas Joao'...to both Luke John and John Lucas I wanted it translated into English but it seems to have chosen Gibberish instead If we sign him I vote he is known as John Lucas.

I'd keep Nuhiu - imagine the beautiful chaos if we threw him on alongside this lad when we need a last minute equaliser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_johno43 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He appears to have all the attributes to be a threat in this league big, strong, direct, quick, comfortable with the ball at his feet, can link play and makes intelligent runs when he is in and around the box. The problem is he doesn't look like an out and out goalscorer, saying that neither did Benik Afobe when he was at us but it just goes to show what a player in the correct system can do. All that said none of us have seen more than 15 minutes worth of footage on youtube so lets all be honest it's a shot in the dark on our behalf.
