Essandoh 21,242 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 He could certainly do more to impress but I thought there was a marked difference in him since Clement arrived albeit his availability was short-lived given the injury. He has a very good goalscoring record in his career, whether he can continue that on the back of a bad injury and within an expected complete summer rebuild nobody knows.

Amokachi 3,067 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I’d expect him to come back physically stronger due to the amount of gym work he’ll be doing however the crucial half yard of pace & mental barrier of getting another injury, we’ll just have to wait & see.

Would welcome him back, hopefully there's more to come from him. More astonishing considering his finishing was abominable.

I thought he was doing okay despite his injuries. He looks a lot more assured when through on goal than dessers and he’s on 20 goals. I reckon he’s going to be a great striker for us in the long run, I certainly hope he is. ayrshireranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed 3 absolute sitters against Dundee through on goal. He's a better footballer than Dessers but his finishing was no better. beararse and AGM_72 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,973 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Yet another player improving more and more the longer he’s out the team. With a handful of games left, it’s insane to imagine him being fit enough to make a contribution this season. Best to get him fully fit over the summer, give him a hard preseason (he’s not alone in needing that) and have him bursting to play when the season starts.

bluenoz 31,061 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Yes, Danillo missed some guilt-edge chances, but you could see the natural talent. He never got up to speed. Beale wouldn't start him, and then he had a horrific injury. Hopefully next season we will see him at his best. kelvd1873 and teddybear1975 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 65,447 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 His finishing was really bad at times but his all round play was excellent a lot of the time. Hoping he can still be a big player for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,166 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 If their finishing matched their movement both he and Dessers would be some players. Incredible amount of chances the pair of them have had, often through their own good movement rather than luck or it being laid on a plate for them.

His composure in front of goal is very similar to Dessers in that neither panic, they remain totally calm, but both then don't back that up by slotting it as often as they should.

the sliver fox 1,672 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I'm now living with the belief that he will play in and score a min of 5 goals in every remaining game, finishing the season as top scorer. Anything other than that will be viewed as failure on his part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,536 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 His finishing was poor for us but his overall game was excellent and I think his finishing would have clicked. His reputation at Feyenoord was being a great penalty box finisher. I think he had a few bad misses that over longer time and sharpness would have evened out and improved. I still don't know if he's the absolute answer, but I think if we had him and Shankland next season competing to play on merit then we'd have two good options and won't cost a lot to achieve.
