2018/19 Yerry Mina

[DrEFC]

I don't recall that that all, thought the only club stance was "he has a wrist injury". Could well be wrong.

When he arrived Lukaku could barely restrain himself from laughing about how crap he was. He called Niasse- "raw"

Gutted to read the recent Niasse bashing

 

[Nymzee]

Niasse wasn't cheap, arrived with an injury, took a VERY long time before he was able to play, and has turned out to be
an underwhelming signing.

Mina wasn't cheap, arrived with a long term injury, is taking a VERY long time being ready to play, and, well.....we'll see.

Do you not see the similarity?

No not really. One is a random striker from the Russian League, one is a WC performing CB from Barcelona.

If you watch football for entertainment then Niasse was not underwhelming in any way. But to compare Yerry to him because he's been hurt a bit is off. Remember Oumar got 5 appearances that entire second half of the season. I'm fairly certain Yerry will beat that.

 

[Groucho]

But if Silva or Brands wanted these players then sometimes it's worth the wait to go one step back at first and go two or three steps forward in the near future.
Said earlier we may not see the best of this squad fully until Christmas, but it may provide dividends next season and so on.

Agree totally

Casual racism eh

I really hope you're all right. I don't see much hope of things getting much better if he and Gomes don't measure up.

Players get injured then after a period of time they get better and play again. Why is he any different?

Well signing an injured player and stating he has a minor foot injury then 6 weeks later he is nowhere near the team makes you wonder what the hell is going on.

He returned from the world cup very late, picked up an injury and hasn't had a preseason. What should we have done?

You mean one of the world cup stand out players we signed from Barca is going to be crap because he wasn't cheap and is injured.

Strange logic there bro.

Makes me think that his injury took a few weeks to get better and he then needed to get fit and up to speed with the rest of the team.

I thought Silva said pretty much the same a few weeks ago. He needs time to get fit and up to speed with the squad.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Throw him to the wolves on Saturday(I know we're playing Fulham)

Think him not training for a while with no word on any injury didn't help.
