saintscottofthenortham Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 I cannot believe this has got to 8 pages. No one has seen the guy play. And you just whack him into the starting line up. How about we see how he does against Bolton, after all he should be able to rip them up considering his "blistering pace" and "ball control" as after all Bolton aren't known for their speed or finesse. i think die to the fact we have popped Chievo & Roma to signing a Brazilian, has left us with a slight feeling of anticipation and excitement. Add to that, the fact that every bid of him in YouTube is him smashing in long range rifles first time, 30 odd yard free kicks and getting some pretty good assists. I can't help but think that once this fella gets to grips with the pace and physical side of English football he is going to be a major asset for us.

S-Clarke Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 i think die to the fact we have popped Chievo & Roma to signing a Brazilian If those two were really interested he'd have gone there, no question. I think it was earlier in the window there were a few talks b etween those clubs, but it didn't come to anything. The OS will obviously try and milk this! but he's still seems a good signing for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 Many on here criticise players for inconsistent performances Many on here criticise the team for not winning "games we should have won" The fact is that to win promotion THIS season, we need consistency. That comes from having consistent and experienced PLAYERS. What it WON'T come from is having players with Potential. A player with potential may come on the pitch and have a blinder, or he may simply not read the pace of the game or the tactical needs of the match. Papa had great POTENTIAL, he could turn on a game changing moment of skill. BUT he could also disappear. As an example, Papa cost us a win against poopey in the Cup by not having the composure to bury one of the chances he had in the first half. So, AP & his Scouting team/network of contacts appear to be out in the transfer market looking for experienced players (ie those around 2 8 that can come in and be consistent. This season we don't need THE Papa or Antonio of last season, they were inconsistent. IF the management team have felt that they could not be at the level of consistency we will need oop north in mid winter and are looking to find OTHER players that are more likely to perform then IMHO, that's fantastic. Potential we have in the youngsters coming through. They can be on the bench and maybe produce the magic moment. We need 90 minute performers n the pitch. (Oh and that's why I think AP sees Guly as a risk - he believes he will give that consistency, but has kept his options open just in case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 I could argue that the reaction on here more suggests that God Forbid anyone should not wet themselves over a signing. Well you seem to have racked up more posts on this particular thread than anyone else so apparently you want to get your underwhelmed feeling across a little more than anyone else. Most people are keeping their powder dry of course as any foreign signing can be a risk. The South Americans moreso than any other historically. However it's only right to get a little excited over seeing any new signing in my eyes. This one perhaps more than someone like Frazer Richardson purely because of the unknown factor. I like the unknown. ------------------------- Oh and getting back to the South Americans thing i really can't go along with the suggestion that Pardew screwed up with Macherano and Tevez. Both players have openly admitted that it was quite a culture shock...our game being so quick. And to my mind Mascherano didn't even get the swing of it until his second season at Liverpool. In fact i can't think of many foreign imports that do get off to a flyer in their first season...Torres being one...certainly not many from South America though.

SaintRichmond Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 Quite possibly; he's still going to get one wrong at some point. If he passes the ball along the ground instead of aimlessly pumping it uo in the air all the time ...... .... then Pardew will have got it wrong, because he won't fit in with the other 10 on the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Mullet Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 An Italian football expert I asked on twitter said Guly isn't a central midfielder who would play in a 2 but rather a no 10 type. I think we will use him in this kind of formation: ---------------------------Davis-------------------------- Butterfield-----------Fonte-----Jaidi--------Harding ----------------Hammond--------Schneiderlin-------------- Puncheon--------------Guly---------------Lallana ---------------------Lambert------------------------------- I think Barnard deserves a starting place in a 4-4-1-1 personally. He looked our most potent threat for most of the game on Saturday. That line-up also ignores the fact that Lambert currently plays the "No.10" role in a 4-4-1-1 formation at present. Lambert is most dangerous when coming slightly deeper rather than playing on the shoulder of the last defender. I therefore expect Guly to be a straight swap for Hammond if he can prove himself. AP went on record last year saying Deano needed to up his game and IMO nothing really has changed. We need a real dynamo in the middle of the park if we are going to cruise to promotion without having to scrap for it. Neil Danns would have fitted the bill perfectly but it seems he's not going anywhere now. Let's hope Guly can deliver. Let's face it none of us really know anything about the lad. I reckon if you made a quick compilation for UTube of most of the posters on here scoring there best ever goals on the local rec it would look pretty impressive so I never pay too much attention to them. Talking of formation, has anyone else noticed how Shneiderlin is playing slightly deeper this year? Seems to me to suit him. He's also filled out a bit which can only be good news.

It's like Dorrans at West Brom, played well in their promotion season, attracts interest from West Ham, but rejects Premier League football to play in C. Doesn't happen. There's more to this than meets the eye. I'll give you the example of Kevin Phillips, and see if you find this "dodgy". In Season 2007-08 Phillips played for West Brom in their promotion campaign to the Premier League. He won the "Championship Player of the Year" award. He also picked up Player-of-the-Year awards from both the West Bromwich Albion Supporters Club and from the club itself, after scoring 24 goals from 30 starts and finishing as the Championship's second top goalscorer. He was also named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year. When his contract with West Bromwich Albion expired at the end of the 2007–08 season, the club offered him a one-year deal, with an additional second year if he made 19 or more league appearances. Phillips rejected the offer and joined Championship club Birmingham City, signing a two-year contract on 9 July 2008. Phillips considered the best bet for hus future was to move to a club on the up, rather than go up with a team who were destined for a quick return to the lower leagues. Nothing dodgy about that, in fact perhaps something to admire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 Some semi valid points made but: a) Dorrans is still playing Premier League. Do Prado could still be playing Serie A for Cesena b) Kevin Phillips was way into his 30's and if you re-read his comments on that move, he decided to leave because he was told he was unlikely to start and he felt at his age he needed to be playing regularly c) the Pitman comment isn't the same thing. And he's still moving up the leagues, not down. Also, players 'knowing their limit'-Do Prado was top scorer from midfield. If he isnt good enough to stay in their team in Serie A, then I would suggest they would need to buy 8 or 9 new starters. So in summary, I was wrong. They weren't semi valid. They just weren't valid. I reckon we'll find out at some point that Cortese has links to the Mafia - and used his hired muscle to secure Papa last year and Do Prado this year... Now that's a rumour...

Barry the Badger Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 (edited) Some semi valid points made but: c) the Pitman comment isn't the same thing. And he's still moving up the leagues, not down. But the fact is he still turned down a higher level of football. Makes no difference which way he's going. He is an example of a player turning down top flight football to play in a lower division. So a perfectly valid example thank you. Also, players 'knowing their limit'-Do Prado was top scorer from midfield. If he isnt good enough to stay in their team in Serie A, then I would suggest they would need to buy 8 or 9 new starters. Ok, so if he is their second or third best player and would easily be in the Cesena team, why did they accept a five month loan deal? They're clearly keen to shift him. Sorry, but what you are saying just doesn't add up, Cesena clearly do not feel he is up to Serie A standards. Not that I am not excited about the signing, he looks good but I don't think there's anything odd going on here, just a player who is no longer wanted by his club, moving to another club.

For the very reason that it is risky. It could turn out to be a match made in heaven but on the other hand could be an unmitigated disaster. We've not got the best track record with South American players have we? That said, its worth a punt and a 5 month loan with an agreement in place to take him permanently is probably the best piece of business we could do. I'd even go as far as to say this is an even better deal than simply buying him and hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 His question has been answered dozens of times now. A signing with risk, so we remove the risk by making it a loan with option to buy. A sensible strategy and one we can all appreciate. All but one that is. Because Alpine still takes that to mean 'risky loan' and makes the same non-point for 9 pages. I don't believe he's actually THAT stupid, so is it a wind-up? An attempt to keep the alpine show going? Sheer stubbornness, negativity or Pardew-hate? Or a combination of all? Its not a wind up, nobody is that persistent. He was exactly the same on 606 ........ 8 years ago!

hypochondriac Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 Risky signing and hence a loan, don't twist it *****.

sotonist Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 There's two levels of risk here. The risk of signing a player who won't fit in. The risk of throwing away the first half of the season if we don't make the right moves in the transfer market. The second risk is what worries me. Clearly the first is mitigated by the structure of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the first is mitigated by the structure of the deal. But what are the right moves? Clearly Pardew feels this is it and I trust him with that.

influx Posted 24 August, 2010 Share Posted 24 August, 2010 I have been accused several times of demanding signings for the sake of it. Sod their quality. Well, I reckon a lot of people on here feel obliged to applaud a signing just because its a signing. Nobody has a f**king clue if he will deliver. Most people dont even know who he is. Look at the abuse anyone who questioned the Dickson signing got. Now look how that has worked out. You are something else, mood hooverer extraordanaire. If people can't get a little excited about this then when can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
