topgoalie 637 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 said on here he when i knew we were after him to get him SNAPPED UP. Top notch player who has played with England at u-15 through to u-19's some feat when u think of the talent England have. We were crying out for someone with the skill and technique of Aluko and he has delivered thus far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broxi 5,830 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Played brilliantly today.Did he dive for the penalty though? Couldn't see from where I was sitting, heard he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't see from where I was sitting, heard he did.I thought he did at 1st but no Dunfermline players really complained and I've been told it was a foul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leeds_Bear 6,971 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Amazing what a win does. 2 games one of which he played well in. Hold your horses boys, I hope he will consistently produce the good he has today. But remember Weiss' first game? We all thought he was a world beater, but like all wingers he drifted in and out of some games. I expect Aluko to do the same, but don't get me wrong I hope he does well.

Guest Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Looked fantastic from where i was sitting today. Honestly cant remember him giving the ball away and his flashes of skill were great , always looking positive and looking to make something happen. Dont think we will miss Weiss at all with him in the team now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When was the last time we could say that coming out of ibrox.Breath of fresh air and on the first Aluko post on RM i pleaded for Gers to sign him up.Makes up for the disappointment of Weiss in the summer.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If i were in charge of GRFC i would give Aluko his money back NOW.Somebody's trying hard to take the piss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waldo 7 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Come on guys, he's worth a new contract on the basis of the most ridiculously cheeky back-heel nutmeg pass to Whittaker... That was sublime (PS. The new contract bit is sarcasm.. He looks great, but let's hope he can keep it up, what a find if so!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waldo 7 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Somebody's trying hard to take the piss.I don't know if he meant give him his money back in the sense of repaying what Aluko shelled out to the sheep? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NessFTW 40 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 The thing I like about him is that yes he likes to beat a player but that he doesn't usually overdo it. He does seem to know when to release it when appropriate, something Weiss was poor at IMO.For me, his performance today was of the top drawer, as someone said he barely gave the ball away the whole game. Even if he is inconsistent, it is impressive that he is even capable of this type of performance, albeit it was only Dunfermline.We'll see how he get's on against better opposition which will ultimately determine how good a player he is. All the same, he definitely deserves praise for a terrific performance today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdog19 16 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Encouraging start. Been our main threat in the last 3 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlippinEck 2,201 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Aluko does over do it a little bit, we have seen that in every game he has played for us so far but he has produced the good already. Some of his runs were fantastic today, he was a breathe of fresh air. If we had Sone on one wing and Vlad on the other along with a striker willing to pull the finger out, we would be laughing. For the mean time though, aluko will do just fine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick1271 394 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I wasn,t at the game but on the radio and what people are saying he seems to have been great today. nobody has mentioned that its only his 2nd competetive game in nearly 6 months .lets hope he keeps it up and gets his extended deal , him and naismith in the same team would definately be exciting to see.

BigBearAl 15 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I thought he was fantastic today, and not just because our other players were lethargic and he stood out. He has tricks galore in the locker, never wasted a pass and has lightning pace. An absolute bargain. Hope he stays fit and keeps up the workrate. Was also impressed with his strength, held off the hammer throwers today as well.Where are all the doubters tonight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amac9 2,060 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 So far he has looked good. He was our best player at Rugby Park, looked lively in Hamburg and deservedly got MOTM today with a very good display.But so far it is still only 2 competitive games and a friendly match. Let's wait until the end of the season and see if he can do it week in week out before jumping to conclusions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shetland 76 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 But Aberdeen let him run his contract down, he couldn't get a club, he never ever stood out against us.........so he must be shite.Once again the so called experts on here get it completly wrong Aberdeen didn't let it run down I don't think, pretty sure he didn't want to sign a new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
