Suhari Posted 25 October, 2015 Share Posted 25 October, 2015 Looked good today. Strong header for the assist. Showed skill, strength, guile and commitment for the run and pass for Pelle.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 25 October, 2015 Share Posted 25 October, 2015 I think he's great have never understood how he's been made a outcast, like suhari says he has real guile which we lack at times .looks a million times better then Juanmi and jayrod off the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between creating a goal against MK Dons to put us 5 or 6 up to creating the goal that gets us a point in the Premier League. I think Koeman will give him reasonable game time on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he needs to be doing that week in week out, not just on the odd occasion No **** Sherlock . He is only able to do that when selected. In truth he has not had the best of times here. Injuries have plagued him but this year I will remember him for being first up for ore season training, a good display against Ajax I. The closed door friendly and an impressive performance today. Despite all his well documented problems you rarely see him without a smile on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 25 October, 2015 Share Posted 25 October, 2015 Did well to take his chance, which he only got due to injury to Long and Rodriguez, but I think we're more likely to start with Juanmi than Ramirez in the hole on Wednesday. Made me laugh when the commentator said he'd been out for a long time with injury. Er, not this season he hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're paying him so much - get what we can out of him, and it might strengthen our hand when we sell him to Italy in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Share Posted 25 October, 2015 Koeman pretty clear on Gaston post match, nothing has really changed. Along the lines of: - his situation is the same, he is in the final year of his contract - we have some injuries so he got a chance I assume that there was more than one Koeman post match interview. The one on the OS is very different to what you wrote: "Gaston is working hard, he is part of the team and of course he was not the first option in front but OK he is working hard, he's trying to take his opportunity, with some injuries to players like Shane Long and Jay Rodriguez he's knocking on the door, then I give Gaston that opportunity". No mention of his contract by Ronald (only by the interviewer in his question). Ronald sounded and looked quite positive. Different perspective.

I don't think he can be faulted for lack of effort or commitment when he's been played. And I'd have thought any attitude problems would have been aired, the osvaldo ones certainly did.

ART Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston is 23 years old, one year older than Lloyd Isgrove, a player we apparently have hopes for the future. To write him off is sheer madness, especially considering what we paid for him. No way should he be sidelined. He can contribute much to the team. A lot more than one or two who are just a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKsaint Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 He fights for his own. Hopefully, his good displays can earn us a few million in Jan transfer window and him a good contract from a decent club (Italian?) or we will have nothing in summer. No doubt neither sides will be interested in a new contract given his high wage and a club will come and take him for free in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more than one or two who are just a waste of space. According to Wikipedia he's actually about to turn 25. But I take your point. I was pleasantly surprised by his willingness to get stuck in to a few physical and aerial challenges yesterday. Must be worth playing him against Villa.

Andy Durman Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston will walk away on a free transfer and will probably become an exceptional player. One swallow doesn't make a summer! Consistency is the key in the Premier league. I think he is strong enough now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 More than any other player yesterday, I was desperately hoping he was going to hit a last minute 25 yard screamer, into the top corner, to win the match. It would be nice to see him given a start on Wednesday, and a chance to stake a claim in the match day squad if not the first 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston will walk away on a free transfer and will probably become an exceptional player. Probably, but not in the PL. Some players aren't suited for it, and he seems to be one of those. One swallow doesn't make a summer! Would make my year! Consistency is the key in the Premier league. I think he is strong enough now. His strength did seem to be a problem but why has, if you are right, taken him this long to become strong enough. Most players when they arrive and find that they are being knocked off the ball far too easily, undertake a regime to bulk themselves up as a matter of urgency.

Saint Charlie Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 Worth remembering Ramirez is on 60k per week. Probably a fair bit more than Mane, Pelle, Tadic, Wanyama, Van Dijk, Bertrand etc. Possibly the highest paid of the whole squad. Thats probably why there is frustration within the club, he was meant to turn out to be a fringe player. Talent is unquestionable, but he hasn't showed it enough. Thats also unquestionable.

ant Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 If Gaston was on a more representative wage packet I'd say we might as well stick a 2-year extension under his nose rather than let him walk for a pittance. When he applies himself he clearly has more to offer. As it is, that sadly seems like a huge gamble. Though if him playing for a contract leads to contributions like yesterday, it can only be good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if him playing for a contract leads to contributions like yesterday, it can only be good for us. As good as his 10 minute cameo was, I sincerely hope he isn't offered a new contract on terms which are even remotely comparable with his current terms (which he won't be), and as such, I wouldn't expect him to sign an extension. Too much of a gamble, as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 October, 2015 Share Posted 26 October, 2015 **** me, he won one header and passed the ball to Pelle. I doubt he registered with any neutral. What is it with this guy , he does OK when chucked on in desperation of a point and all of a sudden he's " clearly got talent" again . Shane long makes more impact off the bench every time he comes on and he'd also would have won that header. Shane smacked one in against the world champs off the bench , Gaston took advantage if some poor defending and won a header. Forget giving him a chance against villa , he's had quite enough chances. Let's give Juanmi a go, he maybe one for the future, we know Gastons not. He's a monumental waste of money and nothing I saw yesterday changes that fact.
