You betta give me some credit I started of that 20 odd page topic on him, because i said i was in favour of him :)dannybcity said:forevercity said:dannybcity said:Looks like I was right all along ;)
there were about 3 of us out of thousands on here
but loads will come on and say ' i always rated him' but did they fuck they are just sheep
there are only about 3 or 4 members on here who know football, the rest are sheep. fact!
Haha we were definitely in the minority. With every goal he scores my smugness gets a little greater.
This, don't know about italy though, bianchi was shite wasn't he.nicolai said:he'll shit all over drogba once he matures. he's got the physicality, now loan him to a team in a league that promotes more time on the ball and get his smarts up.
spain or italy perhaps
definitely do NOT sell from me

His pace is also a tricky one - he looks like he's lumbering around slowly but on two or three occasions now he's had a run with the ball and he's had the pace to go with it. Maybe he needs a few yards to get going (after all 100m sprinters don't look very nimble) or could it be his confidence that he's strong enough to hold people off when they catch him? Most strikers without great pace seem to have one eye on the defender, expecting to get caught, and are thinking of the best moment to stop and cut inside (think just about everyone we've bought for the last couple of years!) but he doesn't seem to think this way.
They say the first yard is in the head, and given his general unaware look (how can he be so oblivious about being offside half the time), he may appear slower because his opponent usually gets the yard start.
