Any kind of profit made would be amazing business The way we play has made Rhodes look like a reincarnated Francis Jeffers, Winnall despite being red hot at Barnsley was turned into Colin West over night, Joao under the right system and manager could be a very good player.

We have this player whos hardly scored any goals and isnt anywhere near good enough for us but if one of you, (YES YOU!) comes in and offers us millions you can have him.

Ballmeist Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Not good enough, wouldn't be disappointed to see him go providing we get a fee for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Joao is useful in that he's got pace, is unorthodox in his style and got height too. He can draw players away and be a good foil.Rather we kept him and lost Nuhiu at least for that role. You do suspect at somepoint he'll hit a golden run somewhere and end up with a career in the Prem or with Porto/Benfica or something daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Only two of our strikers scored more than ten goals for us last season, which makes those who claim we have the best strikers in the league, seem, quite frankly, pretty stupid. They are all useful, and all have different attributes, so until we can sign better, let's make use of the ones we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one that needs letting go, not a young pacy player that is just lacking confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably have the best set of forwards. In the league but our defensive tactics don't show them in the best light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to change directly after having his tooth knocked out and crying in front of everyone. I honestly believe he doesn't like playing football with the "bigger boys" now as they're too rough.

gurujuan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 4 hours ago, MOwl said: The difference is the teams who went up had pace with players who can also play football. No disrespect to Joao but hes not exactly the most technically talented, hes often clumsy at best. He may come good, and i hope he does. But i dont think he will for us, cash in the chips. Actually, outside of Forestieri, he probably is the most technically gifted of all our forwards. There are plenty of accusations you can point at Joao, but the lad does have ability. That we only see it in flashes, is the major problem. Certainly, I would have expected him to have made more progress than he has, and because he has the talent, it's even more frustrating. A lot of it is down to bad choices during the course of a game, something which will hopefully get better the more he plays. We can't wait forever for him to develop, I agree, but I have seen enough sublime moments from him, to at least give him another year before letting him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blistering pace isn't an option we have, why wouldn't you want to cover all options? He is deceptively quick. I don't recall a defender catching him.
