Enner Valencia

[Moomin]

Personally,I think he is the best player we have ever had at the club to have a Spanish city as her surname.

He will do better than you're expecting, mainly as you've wrote him off as dogshit.

Most wrote Gueye off as dogshit, so you've got a point like

Give him a bloody chance

No way is he better than John Madrid or Mickey Pamplona.

When he scores the winner at Old Trafford then he can look Bryan Oviedo in the eye.

Valencia? Koeman is nobody’s fool!
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on September 1, 2016 in Fans Forum, Hugh's Blogs, News, Whispers

When you hold on to your best and lose one who really hasn’t been doing it for you, then it’s fair to say West Ham United have enjoyed a good transfer window.

Dimi Payet stays… Enner Valencia goes – that sounds great doesn’t it but before progressing the thought I will take a breath and stop.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman is nobody’s fool. He enjoyed a great season – his first in the PL – at Southampton, sufficiently good for him to get the gig at Everton so he’s seen something in the player presumably that nobody else has worked out. Something he needs for the team he’s shaping.

And I for one will be following Enner’s progress over the rest of the season very closely because I remember his early days alongside Diafra Sakho when he looked the real deal.

Back to Koeman! It’s difficult to see that a manager of this quality would be interested in a no hoper although the Ecuador international does not look like either a winger or out and out striker to me or anyone else.

I believe he is a poacher – an in the hole operator getting on the end of things and it will be interesting to see how he is used.

To describe him as “useless” and “rubbish” is firstly wrong and secondly of no use to the boy’s confidence and I for one am glad he is getting a chance at a decent club particularly as I believe it will result in a permanent deal.

Like everyone else I’m pleased that he is on his way both for his sake and ours but don’t write the guy off – this could be the start of an ideal move not only for us but him!

In circumstances like these Ronald Koeman’s judgement should be trusted.

that's a fair point, god knows koeman knows a bit about attacking and defending from his time being a world class goal scoring sweeper

this is going to come down to how we play him tactically I think, if he doesn't score many but creates room for lukaku to operate resulting in him scoring more then it's a good idea, if we play him as a lone striker or just keep him as backup to rom then i'm less confident

think we look better with two up front

 

[chicoazul]

Or León Osman.

Bryan Oviedo?

 

[Simon baker]

This is why we have signed Valencia he offers something we don't have intensity at the top end of the pitch.
Granted he hasn't been doing it but that's Koemans job to get him putting the same effort in he did when he first arrived in the premiership

[Phill Jacobs]

If he can run and actually close down a defender then he'll be an improvement on our back ups at present.

 

[Tubey]

Bryan Oviedo?

Oh wow. So he actually isn't the best player to have had a Spanish city as a surname at Everton.

Amazing.

 

[Moomin]

When he scores the winner at Old Trafford then he can look Bryan Oviedo in the eye.

Look, I'm trying to be positive for the lad here and big him up.

OK, he is in the top three players to have a Spanish city as his surname.

 

[Tubey]

I wish people would stop trying to look for logic in this one - it's a last minute scramble around panic loan just to get someone in to replace Niasse.

That's it. We all know, whether openly or deep down, that Valencia is grim.

 

[Ollie d]

We needed a back up forward and in todays prices what we pay for his loan is next to nothing. Has scored in this league so we already know he is capable. May not have been one of our first four choices but surely better than spunking a load on some one season wonder who can't adapt to the English game. And finally, at least that means there is zero chance of seeing Niasse, and probably lessens the opportunity for Kone.

Does anyone remember Granada TV !!
