Inspector Lestrade Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Was arguably MOM on Saturday, gave the QPR defence a torrid time. Sent in yet another lovely corner (Would it have gone straight in if Windass hadn't finished it off?) Snarled at one or two QPR players, was desperate for the team to win, could see in his body language how frustrated he was when he set up other players. Was pleased for his teammates when they scored. If he keeps this up they might be others sniffing round him. He can run with ball from midfield (Yes! From the midfield) Can cross, dribble and has real pace. Admittedly needs a couple of goals and needs for his teammates to read him better as he finds space so easily, but they don't notice (but are starting to). Monk obviously likes him and I can see him playing in all the remaining games if fit. Sign him I say.

TheCityIsOurs Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He’s still only 23 years old and if we can get him for under £500,000 or around that it’s almost guaranteed profit in 2 years or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may settle him. Just wish people would stop saying this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty0wls Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 4 hours ago, trev said: Anyone else noticed he does that weird no look pass thing when taking a corner? Bit strange. Oh and btw I think if Monk rates him we should try and sign him. He won't cost much and is young and promising. Exactly what we need. The no look corner suggests a massive amount of confidence in his own ability. Lets hope its justified or he'll come off a reyt plonker trying things like that if he turns out to be poo in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 What's the point of a no-look corner? I thought the no-look pass is to deceive the opposition into thinking you'll pass the other way, but when you're about to take a corner its quite obvious what's going to happen next and the general direction the ball will travel in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Has some potential, it takes some foreign players a while to adapt to English football particularly the championship. Not saying he's anywhere near the same level but the likes of Henry, Bergkamp and Evra took a while to find their feet over here. We're often too quick to dismiss a player if they don't impress on their first few appearances. Hopefully he starts tomorrow night and impresses on our home pitch and then I would be very keen for us to snap him up before others do Edited July 13, 2020 by Owls-Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He give's us some thing that we have not had for a long time, pace, strength and a positive attitude. But then, so did Joao, hope fully he will be more consistent. Strength? You’ve seen him play right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalAlien Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 4 hours ago, mcmigo said: Quite a bizarre footballer. Very fast, fit, strong and can hit it. but he is so unconventional in his play , he must be a nightmare to play with , but also possibly to play against. His runs and movement are like something you would see in Sunday youth football . It’s hard to judge him post lockdown as you can’t see his movement on tv as you can in the stadium. I have said before, he needs a lot of work and patience on the training pitch. He is like an even more erratic version of JJ , something I never thought I would see. I'm sure I read things like that said about Adama Traore a year or two back. If Da Cruz develops in anything like the same way I'd love to have him at S6.

Andrew_Owl Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not keen on him, he put a decent corner in against forest and everyone is suddenly loving him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_owl Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He is a quality player. You can see it from the way he plays, always in space, pacey and direct, plays with no fear, great at set pieces, good cross on him and he also seems to have the work ethic to go with it. It is a no brainer from me to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
