You can definitely add Rooney to this list, Arteta and Pienaar too. Deulofeu, perhaps, to a lesser extent?

And you can see from his goal the way his tenacity and quick feet wins the ball back. It looks lucky as fuck, but it's not because he contests every ball and that will get you opportunities if you do it enough.
Not comparing him as a player, but it's something Suarez used to do. Get the ricochets off defenders legs or get the quick nutmeg and away with the ball.
Scrappy little street baller.
Ugh, which snide are Liverpool going to get to do a Suarez Mirallas reducer on our magic manLazarou II wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 1:54 pm His custard cream sized shinpads always cause me great concern that some jobber is going to take him out.
Rooney and Deulofeu for sure. Not so much the other two.AllyBlue14 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 1:51 pm You can definitely add Rooney to this list, Arteta and Pienaar too. Deulofeu, perhaps, to a lesser extent?
But fuck me, this lad is brilliant. He's so good to watch and is one of the many beneficiaries of Moyesy's approach.
Love watching him with Gana too - feel like he's replaced the Danjuma-shaped hole in Gana's life after last season.
I was thinking that Saturday.
He’s 6 months into a five year contract, am sure that with the excitement of a new stadium, new owner and new manager he will want to see how far we go, might have to improve on his £45k a week salary sometime next season if he keeps this level of performance up though.sam of the south wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 3:12 pm I was thinking that Saturday.
Feels a bit negative thinking like this already, but it’s where we are.
Not this summer, but next he could be with the right coaching and a way of playing that plays to his strengths. Looks to be a perfect replacement for Bernardo Silva down the line to me.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 3:37 pm I'm not convinced he's actually quite at the level he'd need to be in order to get a big money move tbh. He's a fantastic player but I couldn't imagine an Arsenal or Man City coming in for him as he's not elite level.
I think he's probably the perfect player for us and we're the perfect club for him. If we can become more of a mid table team and then push towards Europe over 3 seasons it'll be hard to find a team who'll offer him more than we can in terms of level that he'd be playing at.
He may not be elite level yet but all the makings to be there. Surprised you think he is a mid table player.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 3:37 pm I'm not convinced he's actually quite at the level he'd need to be in order to get a big money move tbh.

I think he has a great set of attributes but he lacks maybe one or two key things to be a player for one of the top 4.Audrey Horne wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 4:29 pm He may not be elite level yet but all the makings to be there. Surprised you think he is a mid table player.
Fair enough, I think like most players when you aren't a club challenging for honours it's best to try enjoy them while they are ours. If he's good enough he'll get snapped up which would be a shame but also means he's probably given us many amazing moments which is not a bad thing at all.
