The ‘player(s) I have just seen on telly and think we should sign’ thread

[mabrah]

Saw a lad on the tele yesterday afternoon that might be worth a punt...

Kelechi Iheanacho.

 

[alex]

Michael Olisea. Wow

 

[tedfoxxx]

The lad who scored the hat trick against Spuds last night. They basically stood and watched him score all three but he sure can twat a football.

Must watch those goals on YT or wherever. I do love to see a good welly, sod the tikka-takka stuff (or whatever it's called), just thwack it in.

I remember some Brazilian scoring from a free kick in, I think, the 82 world cup.... fek me, everyone knew what was going to happen (telegraphed? He took out a full page ad) but stopping it was another matter.

Edit: I think it was Eder against Argentina. He didn't actually score with it, the 'keeper got a touch that must have darn near broken his hand! - but it was one helluva welly.

Looked a player, didn’t he?

That first goal.... oh baby what a lovely strike. A bit like the one Mahrez scored against Spurs just after we appointed Mr Intensitee.

 

[DillyDing22]

I would take Stanciu (28) and Orsic (27). Both look like they would add quality

He sure could thwack it!

Then you've got Roberto Carlos against France in 97...

 

[Jeff]

Then you've got Roberto Carlos

That's reminded me. I had the perfect view of this from my seat. No way it was going in...

 

[mabrah]

Tony Yeboah was one that could twat it. I remember one he got against Wimbledon, cripes I reckon he near uprooted the goal posts with it.

Twat....thwack....make your mind up. Or classify the terms.

 

[parafox]

Is a twatted goal superior to one that uses insane technicality and control of the ball?

He could not-twat it too.

Just different (says he in politically correct mode) For me, they're refreshing I suppose. After all that pissing about with passing about back, forward , side-to-side etc etc etc, just for someone to step up and simply twat/thwack/thump it, I dunno, it just makes the pissing about look like a waste of time.

I reckon Fuchs gets that.

Edit: that all said, last week v SheffU; Perez, Vardy, Nacho - a goal of simple beauty. No twatting to be seen.

 

[parafox]

I'd call Perez's goal half-twatted. And Iheanacho's 3rd was at least 70% twat

 

[mabrah]

Now we're getting into a whole new category; the twat percentage. There simply has to be a stat for it next season.

From a scale of 0% for a miroslav klose tap in and 100% for a Lilian Nalis megatwat.

you twat the ball, the ball thwack's the post for example

 

[Orifice]

And everyone is now thinking of this.
