Enner Valencia

[BlueToff]

Ho ,well he is here let's see how he does, did we get that kid from Sheffield unt?

yes

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

This will be proved wrong. Is he a world beater? No. But he is fast and a decent finisher in the air or on the ground. Will certainly fit the pressing style Koeman wants to play and is an adequate back-up to Rom. Welcome Valencia![/QUOTE. Decent finisher.???????? When exactly does he finish decently cos it certainly ain't goal chances. Comparable with Kone. At least Kone (God help us) has a funny head.

I'm happy, I think.

Kone is old and past it. At least Valencia is young and pacey. He will fit Koeman's style of play.

Our Facebook page did themselves absolutely no favours. The grammatically inept mutants on there had already reached fume level 100 and then the club posted this.

He has a face growing out of his ear, that can't help

 

[Zaschrona]

Better than nobody. As a last resort signing, why not. Nothing to lose after all our other targets failed and the other option was giving a number to Niasse. Happy to give Valencia a chance before writing off. Welcome Enner.

 

[tim cahill]

Interested in how this goes. He's got some good qualities. Could be a decent signing if he steps up a bit. Need to get him watching a load of videos of Vardy.

I've actually watched him multiple times for club and Ecuador. I'd rather have results than try to appease the fans. Fans can catch up later. Same as when we signed 3 of our other 4 this summer...There was fume, fans watched them play, fans figured out they were good players. If you've watched Enner at all, he has quality on his day. Been out of form for a while, but if Ronster can help him find it it's an upgrade over what we've got as a backup striker.

Would I have rather had Bony? Yeah. That Italian bloke? Maybe, never seen him play. This isn't the end of the world.

You've encapsulated my feelings exactly.

Which we're not paying - it's a LOAN.

How do you know we won't sign him after? I just think the deal we agreed is horrendously overpriced

He's one of the worst strikers in the league and surely he's only been brought in through desperation as all our young strikers look useless and anyone has to be better than niasse.

Complete waste of 1.5m personally

If he's gash, we won't. If he's good and brings value to the team then we may or may not take up the option. That valuation was probably agreed on as we were desperate - doesn't mean we're ever gonna pay it (and to be fair, I seriously doubt we will make the deal permanent). We'll be targetting a striker or two in January without a doubt - Valencia is simply a player to provide backup.

 

[Joey66]

I'll give him a chance, he's wearing the royal blue now.

I remember when we signed a Marcus Bent loosing Wayne Rooney - went onto champions league finishing 4 th!

Yeh for me there's no way we'd sign him. He's only here in my opinion because anyone's better than Kone and Niasse but even so, very disappointed

We've got so many strikers and most are all a waste of time, Henan, McAleny Rodriguez and Byrne all sitting there showing no signs of being anywhere near close to premier level

It's unlikely but I hope this Calvin-Ball comes good and ends up pushing Romelu

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Ennerbody arsed?

Let's hope so now the loan has been agreed.

So we should sell Lukaku and resign Marcus Bent? Our Marquee signing from a new owner is a no name loan signing from West Ham. This was the one where he should show us where all the talks of mata, witzel, behrami etc would end up at the finish line.... and we get Naisse´s twin brother ... jesus christ...
