Marco Reus

Rex

Why? I think Gervinho has been rather good for us. He certainly adds something we didn´t have before.

Yaya

Not good as in the player the player I would want in the starting line-up. Maybe in the squad but in the starting line up? Definitely not. Makes too many poor decisions, average technically and losses the ball far too often with poor touches and is too inconsistent imo, which is what he was like at lille and now here at the club.

Gervinho > Nasri

Yaya

I've never rated Nasri. Don't understand your point tbh.

redwhiteAustrian

Point is, he suits our game better than Nasri has, therefore I'm content with him and don't think we can do much better there at the moment.

Yaya

Not much better? Going to have to disagree there, even when we had Nasri in the starting line-up I've mentioned we need a quality wf, especially when cesc left. Gervinho to me is not a quality wf, too inconsistent and makes too many poor decisions etc which is why I'm not happy with him in the starting line-up.

redwhiteAustrian

He's pacey, direct, a good crosser and takes his man on.
Everything I'd want from a winger.
Of course he has his faults (dodgy first touch), but overall I've been happy with him.

i see gervinho as being more useful in the league than nasri was for us (only going on nasri's actual past performances, not his current or future potential), whereas nasri would be more useful in big games, CL, etc., where we need top quality to get us goals.

gervinho's more of a flat track bully due to his quickness and pace, but at least he's bullying somebody. aside from a 3 month stretch, nasri didnt actually do anything. they're very different players, though.

redwhiteAustrian

Of course they're different players, but they're playing in the same position here, thus a comparison is justified.

I've seen him left and right but he plays through the middle sometimes apparently.

Looks to be playing up front in this "every touch" comp:

Don't normally really want a player based on hearsay and youtube but i like this guy. Get him in to replace Arshavin please!

Pepe LeFrits

Aye, he looks top drawer in that video.

If the 18 million euro buy-out clause exists then I'd expect us to move for him. Based on that video it looks like he could deputise for Robin too.

Ricky1985

The time and space available in that last video is crazy.

Looks a good prospect to me, but, I'm with Dula, not sure he's a lot more than that.

Dragan

Scored a hat-trick today, played as a striker rather than a winger.
Looks like a really good player, great ball control and good finish with both feet. His first goal was excellent (couldn't find a youtube video of it)

redwhiteAustrian

My word, he tore Bremen apart today.

redwhiteAustrian

His first goal was Fabs-vs-Spuds-2009-esque.

kamikaze

the defending was pretty bad. this guy's an interesting player, though.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep interesting, but I recon he lacks the power and guile needed to kill it in the premier league. Perhaps that would come

Ricky1985

I'm with you on that. I like the look of him, but not sure he'd be a superstar for us. Still could be a smart signing, though. If the price is right.

Timbob

This lad is off to Bayern apparently. 18 million euro buy out and the kid wants to go Bayern.

Armor

Would be funny if Bayern and Real concentrated on Reus and Hazard and let us snap up the best player of the 3 in Goetze.

Not that i'm holding my breath.
