Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

Wakoro said:
So you are saying he's going to drop the traits that made him an asset for us? Sh*thousing is 80% of his game, without that he's a bang average player, he knows it, I know it, the lord knows it, only sentimental fans don't know it.

Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks, and a 30 year old player who's never been good enough in his career to get into the premier league, or even to find himself in a promotion fighting squad until us, is suddenly going to be good enough if he just changes his entire playing style...

He's recognised his limitations and carved out a niche for himself as a charismatic leader, wind up merchant to the opposition, and gamesmanship, sh*thouser extraordinaire.

He's cost us 8-9 goals in each of the last 2 seasons with his mistakes, yes ive been counting. This figure will be worse in the prem. He always goes for the man, not the ball, because that's all he's good enough to do. You can't do that in this league, the prem forwards will love him, they are too sharp and will anticipate him leaving his foot in and get the call every time with VAR.

So what exactly he going to do for us in this league, besides being liability? Even his leadership role has demolished now it's practically an entire new team with a premier league leader, Xhaka.

Andy Gray

Think I'm right in saying everyone one of those lads, apart from Diego, obviously, played for us in the PL. It's harsh on a couple of those lads (Whitehead apart, who as some will know I hate the bloke with a passion, not just for footballing reasons) did a job but even putting Maradona in that side isn't going to solve the multitude of problems is it. It would go down with less than 5 points.

I also stated earlier not good enough for prem, so yes not good at all,
As another poster said, the proof will be in the pudding, if we get lucumi and the fella that's just landed then not a chance will he be starting, he may scrape the bench but only maybe.

Hope he gets his chance - even if it's just a handful of apps he doesn't half deserve it. With our injury record he more than likely will get it.

Le Fee said he's the best footballing person he's ever met (iirc). In my opinion, whether playing or not, he's the most important player in our squad. Sets a standard that shouldn't be lowered.

Good point you've made, not once demeaned his contribution overall, his status in the squad is massive,

This! Sometimes, it's one of the lesser heralded players in the squad that's part of the club for years like O'Nien that drives the standards and makes sure things are ticking over right. Is it Dunk at Brighton and Cash (I could be wrong, mind) at Villa that do this. Maybe not seen as instrumental, key players but it's the type you need in the squad.
