partickthedog Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I like Andrea. He is a fun player. Always looking to get forward and do something. Physical presence but a fair bit of skill. He will do fine in the championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also comes across well, seems a nice guy and in contrast to some of the chancers last year looks to be a team player also very humble he was apologising in his interview saying his English was not very good - his English was great. as another poster said a lot of the younger guys can improve their football game from learning from him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think a lot of the negative vibes on first hearing of the signing were down to the club website stating he was a striker (and not a guy who is a winger but can fill in as CF in emergency which I'd say is truer). He himself described himself as mainly a winger and playmaker. Let's face it the stushie was because we can all look up the guys stats and see how few goals he's scored - why couldn't whoever wrote the web page info do the same? From having seen him we seem to have a decent winger who isn't afraid to take on a man. Seems to be able to play wing or attacking midfield so a little bit of versatility. Can't judge how good he really is until we've seen him in a league game but so far he seems a promising signing. I'd guess that it also means the manager sees Storey as a CF first now and a winger in emergencies. Wonder if we'll have enough spare in the budget after signing a CB, RB and def. MF to bring in maybe a young striker as extra cover. Could be young enough to be used in reserve team but good enough to play in first team if needed. Just a thought.

Caramaca Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Good to see Andrea starting his goal from the left mid area and having the desire to get into the box to finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to imagine his wage will maybe be restricting us on bringing in 1 (maybe 2) of the 4 new signings that Archie is aiming for. No chance he's taking up enough that we can't sign anyone else without him restructuring/leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgarveJag Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Keown's salary looks like continuing to weigh on Archie's budget but he will have a "spare wage" in 2 weeks time when Banzo's contract expires. sorry, wrong topic. wading through the handbags I forgot which discussion I was in.

mad-jag Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Maybe shows the value in waiting to see how a player actually plays before slaughtering his signing. He may never score again and be a total dud. I’m pretty happy with him so far though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
