MOwl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 4 hours ago, Holmowl said: Being an arogant tvvat hasn't done Ibra any harm. As for 7.2m......here are his goals since his brief spell in the Prem Pl 45 scored 14 Pl 42 scored 12 Pl 18 scored 11 And he is 25 and English. 7.2m might well be mental, but it wouldn't buy him. I'm not a massive fan of Ibra either. They're reasonable goal-scoring statistics. Nothing special. Im basing my opinion of him on the times ive seen him play - dont rate him one bit. Obviously though my opinion means nothing. I'd be concerned about Hudds coming after Forestieri though if theyre after Ince.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets a lot of the ball but his usage is far too frequently poor. His confidence did seem to take a hit, but I'm not so sure this would explain it. He does have a good engine, and he is versatile - I also like how no matter how bad his game has been he'll always make himself available; he never tries to 'hide'. I'm not sure about this 'potential to improve further' though; he's 24 now, and I'd say this is going to have to be a big season for him. If we really are to go 3-5-2 next season then maybe this could suit him, but he'll necessarily have to become a key-player in that set-up if we're to make it work. Even in a 4-4-2, it's clear that Reach is the type of wide-midfielder CC prefers, rather than the more conventional winger type, so either way I imagine he'll be CC's first choice I think that's all pretty reasonable He's not particularly an inspiring signing and yes, I do think Boro saw us coming Quite honestly, for that sort of money we could have got a better winger, or indeed, a better full back He is young enough to improve, so let's hope he does so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes one footed, selfish, cant dictate a game and to top it off hes massively arrogant £7.2m is mental He scored 7 times as many as Reach last season. What do you value Reach at?

Plus he didnt even have a great season for us, Ince is a safer bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pussface Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 1 hour ago, prowl said: It turned out reasonably well. Reach is a good player, good engine, versatile and plenty of potential to improve further. He cost a few bob but will grow into his price tag given time. Some people can't get past the price tag, it doesn't bother me, I didn't buy him with my own money. Spot on. Fans were saying the same about Brunt before he kicked on.

Geoffrey Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Snodgrass is a regular at West Ham and has previously called out Forestieri on his diving. I take that rumour with a huge pinch of salt. Edited June 16, 2017 by Geoffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post a reply similar but didn't want to get accused of being a shittstirrer. I'd be very surprised if FF was here come the start of the season.
