oldishowl Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The problem with playing a big target man is that you tend to go long , more importantly too much depends on him winning and holding up the ball but even if he wins it often the quality of the ball is poor. Of course you need the ball to stick when it goes forward but you are better off with strong players who can run the channels and stretch a defence rather than someone who spends 90 mins with their back to goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will surprise the division too. However, I strongly believe the teams that go up will all be parachute payment clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be at Birmingham but went to Bulgaria. Monk must have been there at the time. Can't be on high wages given Wigan's predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlZfan84 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Joao will get injured again soon. Or loose another tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if he will look back on his career and think he could have done more though. I remember Carlos saying he started to believe his own hype when he got the Portugal cap, or something along those lines. Seemed to pick up injuries too. But on his day he was unplayable and he did have a decent goals return for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good when we battered a decent Arsenal side in the League Cup and had a few other games where he was absolutely razor sharp... unfortunately he had plenty of others where you didn’t even know he was on the pitch. Physically and technically he has all the attributes to make it in the top flight — just seems to be one of those players who has everything except the right mentality to consistently play at the very highest level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joao is the only time in recent history when we have invested in someone like that, clubs like Brentford do it all the time, and no surprise, despite indifferent form, we made a decent profit. Lessons to be learned. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Joao was about the only shrewd business conducted during the chansiri era . Had a few great game but many rubbish . 7 mil was a great bit of business 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
