Seemed to struggle with Fletcher and Rhodes though, and I can’t remember him playing much with Winnall. He’s a player who thrives on give and go, and balls into feet.How many times did he receive the ball, lay it off, turn sharply and then not get the return. To often.

Agree he never clicked well with Fletcher. Rhodes he did briefly but a combination of missing chances and Jos not liking Rhodes didn't lead to it having many more appearances. Obviously enjoyed playing alongside, Atdhe as did Hooper and Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Makes no odds because if we still had him, he’d be injured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the monk Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Strange this thread because last season we were laughing how we had Readings trousers down He scores a few and now we should have kept him ! According to most on here selling your best players is the way to succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it’s so ridiculous hearing some posters go on about getting a young hotshot in on loan, why would any decent club send their talent here to chase shadows, get no supply and try winning long ball headers vs 6’ plus monsters week in week out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernowOwl Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Can’t remember these threads last season. If there were it was to laugh at Reading for paying 7m. Even if he was here in this team, he wouldn’t be scoring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joao is now playing in a footballing side, that’s why he is thriving, and yes he would struggle playing in our side now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 He's at a good club with a good manager who organises his team well. Amazingly as a result player like João find their potential. Pleased he's not here. Anyone who thinks he'd be scoring for fun in our side is delusional. He'd be sat on the bench and coming on for cameos running round like a headless chicken achieving nothing. He'd be completely wasted in our squad. Leaving was the best choice he ever made and I hope he continues with what he's doing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I was strongly against him leaving. He's unplayable if you get the dynamic right. He's one thing Jos had we haven't got now. A player who can make his own goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the best part of 10 years (bar one) we have played dull, negative ,slow ,no cross ,no shot football ,where a rare victory is either 1-0 or 2-1 When did any of us get out a cigar with 10 minutes to go ? We accept it ,its been drummed in to us as the norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many other players should have been sold (FF, Lees, Reach) before him to avoid needing to sell Joao, or indeed not bought in the first place (Rhodes, Van Aken) that would have meant we'd not be financially screwed. Just saying 12 goals now this season Massive mess-up selling him. Worth a ruck load more than the £5 million now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
