Isegrim 8870 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Basically he showed he has the ability of a quality player yesterday, but I think his severe lack of math-fitness let him down. 62021[/snapback] Yep there was clearly a division between him and his team mates that was multiplying the problems. Add to it the fact that he didn't look match fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 As i said it's early days but i can't help the bad feeling i have about him. If he was one of spains best players then surely he would have wnet to Madrid or Barca, it's not like they couldn't afford him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I can't believe a player who has never played in England before, has barely had any games to show what he can do, and has just come back from an 8-week injury is getting so much stick! For fuck sake get a grip, he's hardly a panic guy if he's proven his class in La Liga. If he can adjust to the premiership then he'll be a good signing. And yes, I have seen him play for Deportivo.

Dr Gloom 19818 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 he's a foreigner. what do you expect? he's bound to be a mercenary/parasite that will only play when he fancies it. he won't track back, doesn't have any heart and is obviously just here to pick up his wages. i mean, he's had at least 180 minutes of football. i'd have thought it would be obvious to anyone that he's a waste of money. blatantly the next marcelino.

LeazesMag 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe a little early to judge but he looks like a very expensive panic buy to me.

David Kelly 1117 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I actually agree, I think he was a panic buy and that's why we spent more on him that should have been neccessary. That said I have faith that he will prove to be a good player and to judge him as shite after only playing one full match and a couple of halves and having only had about a weeks full training with his team mates, is nothing short of insane.

maggiespaws 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 maybe he was as you'd wonder if we'd have bought him if we'd already signed Owen. I think maybe there is a good chance we would have as Shearer was not originally spupposed to play the whole season was he? However I think it's harsh to judge Luque as a bad buy on what we have seem so far. Hopefully the boo-boys will keep off both his and Shola's backs at the matches. They'll not stand a chance of amounting to anything if they're constantly bereated at matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6302 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 One thing's for certain in my mind, if the crowd do get on Luque's back now, then his confidence will be hit and as a result, we may not see him at his full potential. FFS, get behind the players - particularly those who have yet to be given a fair crack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I can see very few reasons for not getting behind any of the players and tbh we particularly need to get behind players who are struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you see. If anything, they would be more motivated than 6 months down the line too. 62573[/snapback] I'm not sure I understand what your asking but if it's a) Why do I have faith that he will be a good player? It's because I have seen glimpses of talent in his short appearences and I have seen him play well for Deportivo. Why is it insane to judge him as shite already? He is clearly not match fit, he's not had a chance to get to know how his team mates or the the team in general plays. Also he has come into a team playing poorly so it is unfair to expect him to be the one that (in one half of football) changes things around. I think you are saying that he would be more motivated to play well on his first appearences and while I don't deny that might be true it doesn't outweigh the above points.
