SeparateEntityMyArse 53,721 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Clinical 6 yard box finisher. Outside that area he's decent off the ball with his runs, poor on it with most touches. A goal scoring enigma ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember him? He has been awful on the ball but his runs into the box are superb. All he is interested in, is getting in the box and to score goals. Yeah i remember Platt, decent comparison mate. I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Any chance we can stop saying he's shite and our worst ever signing now please He'll get better more games he plays. He played a pass mid-way through the second half out to Tav I think with the outside of his right boot high in the air that defied belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,605 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He played well last night but agree he's an enigma can look great and pish in the same game, I hope this him pushing on now as he's needing to now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JograBear 1,074 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Great running and movement off the ball but how many times does he pass to opposition or lose control completely from simple situations. Not convinced but have hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went down to White Hart Lane in '62 with thousands of Bears along with high hopes that a great Rangers team would beat a great Spurs team - we lost 5-2 to White, and his fellow legends Greaves, Brown, Blanchflower, and MacKay.

Some on here saw the potential and ability a bit before and stated on here and also said with time his game will come together. However the forum is open to all and the clueless have had their say. Another thing when he scores he don't half take his goals well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the words used like shite and worst signing ever - he clearly isn't either of those two. A hefty price-tag yes, but we've got a return from him already with more to come IMO.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Imagine someone hadn't seen this match and you were describing his two goals, both goals from close range- a close range shot, and a close range header. However, that aside, when have we last had a player who scored close range goals of that quality? Last season I remember making a point that we didn't really have a player who separated us from the rest, Kranjcar was injured at the time, but perhaps in Pena we have that player. I think he reminds me a little of Cannigia, in that his movement, positional sense, and the way he takes the ball is distinctively better than most of what is around him; for instance, Cannigia and De Boer were three moves ahead of everyone else at times,. Maybe Pena has that ability, and maybe he is going to get better, as the manager suggests; in that sense he is an exciting player for this club, because the potential is there for all to see that he can get better.

Agreed. There's been plenty of occasions where he's already ahead of the play and the rest of the players aren't upto speed. He's such an intelligent footballer and he's only going to get better and better. An on form partnership of Morelos and Pena will do damage to any side in Scotland, including that lot who are already not looking the team they were last season, even with their unbeaten run.
