If he was that good there would have been better teams than Reading interested. Far too inconsistent. At the end of the day he is a good striker at this level at a good age who went for a reported 5m. Inconsistent and frustrating yes, but I think we will do well to find a player who has his qualities. Perhaps I should have more faith in our recruitment team? To be fair Borner, Iorfa and Harris have been decent signings. Not spectacular but value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

João was one of the most infuriating players we've ever had How many goals do think he would have scored for us if he had played the same amount of games as Nuhiu?

Correct. Joao would have more than 3 goals for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble was he was another one with a “ low pain threshold “ so he was often unavailable . Don’t think many questioned his ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a daft question because obviously he would have scored more goals than Nuhiu but he would never be available for as many games as Nuhiu so it’s totally hypothetical.

Pale Rider Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 58 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: Lucas Joao. I believe it was the right decision to sell him financially. But we miss his pace, creativity and imagination up front. We are so stale up front, and we lack spark and unpredictability. I would much rather mark Winnall, Rhodes and Nuhiu than Joao. He had his flaws, but he did bring something to the team which we don’t have anymore. Desperate for a player with some quality and skill in attack. And just going forward in general. Harris looks burnt out, Reach isn’t the same player and Bannan can’t do it all. Whilst agreeing we miss the attributes you list. We need better than LJ. Just another turn up when it suits type he was, along with others we still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
