BlueSuedeSambas 56,378 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Unfortunately for us O’Reilly is everything people look for in a modern midfielder - he’s big, athletic, powerful, possess a goal threat and is creative. He’s only 23 too so he’s got room to improve even more. They will get 20 million, or thereabouts, for him because that isn’t even a big fee for most clubs in the Premier League.

SPWF 8,921 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 1 hour ago, bluenoz said: The amount of people bigging up O'Reilly in a Diomande thread is enough to make you boak. It was a discussion about Diomande’s potential value. Seems mad to discuss how he could reach that potential without discussing a player in our league who plays the same position and is likely to go for millions no? No one’s bigging him up either. We’re not sitting saying “Aw what a player he is.” and saying we love him. We’re talking the inarguable facts around him.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,378 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Another in a long line of players who are neat and tidy but don’t have much of an effect on a game because they don’t score, the don’t assist and they aren’t particularly creative. Some cunt at Ibrox has earned a fortune scouting players who fit that exact mould over the past six or seven years.

SkylineBlue 25,702 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 The midfield needs an overhaul and quality injected right now. Diomande may have potential, but he isn't ready to be the main man in our midfield, and for £4.5m thats what he needs to be. I'm very worried about how much money we've spent on him.

bluenoz 32,412 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I called it after 15 minutes that he was out of his element. Two naïve fouls that could have cost us. He is a young man playing in a hostile atmosphere. He won't be the first or last to crumble in that situation. The difference between him and others is I believe he will come good. Just not today. He should have been taken off in the first half, similar to the way Cantwell was. That's on Clement, as are so many other things today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelavic18 689 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 There was a bit in the first half down the right tide with Sterling, just choking for him to overlap you could see a mile away he didnt want to get forward. Knew he was out his depth today at that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanhentze 14,708 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 People have been wanting us the get players from "different leagues" and "before they are out of our reach" for years. This is it. This is what that looks like. This guy has bags of potential and he WILL come good. But he only comes good with game time. He hasnt been here long either. People need to get to grips with this. We will more than likely get many more players like this. People also wave the 4.5 million price tag around as in that is suppose to buy you the complete midfielder.. ffs what decade are you saying this from? He will come good. Have patience.

The Godfather 75,665 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 4.5m in Scottish football is a big buy so with that comes expectation. Not to sit and wait a year or 2 for a player to show their worth. We got Bassey, Aribo and a fee others for peanuts and they all showed more than this boy so far. Not saying he won't come good but let's be honest bar the odd game he's been nothing better than what we have which is not good enough. I'd be concerned throwing the guts of 5 million on him given what I've seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribo wasn't anywhere near what this will cost. Development fee which is buttons. Same for Bassey For the money we are spending I expect a lot better than what I've seen so far.
