Nice. You didn't get to meet him?

Despite having never seen him play, I was convinced he was a $#@! signing, thanks to JCK and Klin.

But he's turning out great. I'm happy for him too that he got a call up
I've learnt never to listen to either of those two. Their pessimism is depressing.

I was really psyched about the Pereyra signing in the summer. Same with Morata. About 2 months into the season I was far less psyched, but he just needed time to settle into the squad. He's been immense for the last 6 weeks. Brilliant signings, him and Morata.

Where I was wrong to cringeworthy and epic levels was with Iturbe. I really was disappointed we didn't get him. Now, I'm singing Hallelujah :D

Lol settle down, Pereyra has had a good run of games, but that's all it is, as an all around utility midfielder when we have many absences. Still way off required effectivity level required for an AM, nor shown performances that screams 17m worthy (needs to actually execute plays more instead of almost do enough but fall short). But allround decent squad player to have that's improving the more he gets settled.

In the away (and home) games against Dortmund he certainly looked like a 17M player. Not to mention a few others games he's played for us where he has shown some great dribbling, good runs/movement off the ball and decent vision. And how hasn't he shown enough so far? 2 goals and 4 assists, playing as a sub for our midfielders in his debut season isn't bad at all imo. Could have had more assists to his name if not for some shoddy finishing from our strikers in certain games.

I actually think our counter-attacking, which was non-existent before this season, has improved massively since the arrival of Bobby P (and Morata of course) there isn't many players on our team currently who can dribble, and take on/run at players at pace like him.

He obviously still needs to work on his finishing/goal scoring facets of the game, but he clearly has much more room for improvement as well.

Such logic is hard to find around these parts.

X or any other mod, you wonder why I cuss out that fucking lowlife up there. I say something on the topic and the sharmoota makes a post like that every time.

Jebem ti mater you fucking loser.

I like him to do well for sure and agree he has improved, but NOT enough, especially not enough to be smug about it. 2 of his goals was within a week 2 months ago, both vs Verona. For an AM 3-4 assists for someone who has played this much isn't enough. Especially in a team that lacks creativity. He has encouraging runs often, and yes very useful for counters, but he falters with the final decision too regularly for my liking (see several frustrating moments of not executing final pass or acting in time etc) . Excellent for squad rotation option, but not for starter. Especially as AM, prefer him more as all around CM, doesn't showcase his limitations as much.

I also prefer him as a CM, but he is the best option we have at AM (clearly) and does a pretty good job most of the time. But yeah, overall happy with his progress so far, he can still do better and I expect to see the improvement in the coming seasons.

Yep but first thing first, no choice this one, but he has no business starting as AM after this season. This season the priority was for attack with Morata, this summer should be a AM for proper creativity outlet.

Maybe all she needs is a good dickin' :boh:
Some females just don't know how to ask for it and just get foul about everything until them holes filled.

He scares me a bit as an authentic CM when he comes deep, he tries to dribble everything and it's risky. He's probably best as an advanced mezz'ala, his dribbling speed and energy cause problems.
