Channon’s Windmill 326 Posted July 19, 2022 Good watch, just thinking about Tzolis and comparisons, at 19, new club, country and language plus the price tag and top flight expectations. I hope it works out this season for him after further time to adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure Not sure myself either, I hope he is and that things work out (Webber will want to see him succeed also) it may take a loan away first if there are suitors that can pay a fair wage portion. Lots of ifs atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted July 19, 2022 The only worry for me with this guy is fan expectations. He's a big money signing and a South American wearing the no.17 shirt so I'm worried fans are going to expect a technically brilliant no.10 Buendia type player when in reality we're probably trying to full the Skipp shaped hole in our team by signing this guy. If you look at his stats lots of hard work, good defensive work and ball carrying which is what we got from Skipp. I just hope people don't start getting on his back because he loses the ball sometimes or doesn't look for through balls because I don't think he's that type of player.

Did he have an agent or advisor with him? Didn't notice anyone. Just a small point. He's 23 not 26 I think! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deptford Yellow 258 Posted July 19, 2022 I like the opening question from the doctor - “Do you have any medical problems?” It’d be a bit if a turn up if he said “ Well, actually …….” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think fans are necessarily expecting him to become the next Buendia, but I think you’ve made a very good point about fan expectations there. No new signing is guaranteed to turn out how they sound, and if they sound positive and turn out negative they can get huge stick from the fans - I think that’s what caused Gilmour and Tzolis to get so much stick last season, also with RvW and Naismith. I think Krul, Pukki, Buendia and Grant Holt got the exact opposite though We think Sara is going turn out to be a great signing, but we’ve got to bear in mind that we’ll just have to wait and see - he may be great, he may be ok, but he may turn out to be awful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted July 19, 2022 There are no guarantees obviously but it just feels we are due for a 'good un'. Hopefully the Championship will be a bit more forgiving and he is given the time to settle. McLean, Sorensen and Lees Melou however need to deliver right from the off.

I wonder how much of what he does here s standardised across the world and how much is a bit different. Id imagine any language component of the Soccerbot comes with Portuguese language settings Probably costs an extra 15 quid a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a welcome change from last summer but you are right, we are due another great player to light the place up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you can bad when bad times come he’s hiding again. Awfully early to be crowing about this signing given Webber’s recent record. I’ll back this fella and keen to see what he can do. Meanwhile one of his brilliant young recruits, near club record fee, in a crucial prem summer window is being bombed out to Belgium… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He then signed a load more German no names to the crowing of our fans and we won the title. He then came out and spoke after relegation. He done the same after the last relegation. At no point has he gone hiding. But funny how much you're desperate to hate on him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
