Goncalo Guedes.

[Jefe]

What did we coach out of Neves?

His long range shooting.

 

[Tipton Wolves]

This player looks exciting and class. Can't believe some on here are moaning about his signing.

 

[Fenrir_]

Him and Danny Baker on a Sunday night are the best thing on talksport

Only real downside to Tim Vickery is if you manage to catch multiple people/shows talking to him across a week, you get exactly the same reports, word for word! Does have very good knowledge of South American football though and knows his stuff

Also think it's Danny Kelly you're on about on a Sunday night, not Danny Baker

 

[Kebab Warrior]

His long range shooting.

I watched training at Compton the other week, he was shooting all the bloody time…

I know, corrected myself earlier

I'm going to call him horse, due to his initials.

He does and the response from some is, sadly, predictable. Looking forward to seeing him on the end of passes from Neves Neto Pod etc.

 

[GV Wolf]

I meant Danny Kelly. But I also liked Danny Baker on 606

Danny Kelly is on a number of shows on Talksport, particularly the Monday night show from 7-10pm..

 

[JohnB]

Exactly. Watched bits of pieces of various matches over the weekend and noticable how often other teams get 3 or 4 in the box. Sometimes, for a team on top (eg Arsenal v Palace) it would be 5. As no team has more than 3 forwards, that's midfielders getting in there, too. And even more amazing, moments later, those same midfielders are back winning the ball on the half way line.

This has been pointed out so often, can only assume it is down to the qualities of the players we have, not formation or anything deliberately tactical.

Aside from that, still not sure we move the ball quick enough in the final 3rd. Maybe linked to the lack of arriving support. Too much stopping, twisting and turning, which allows opponents to get back and reorganise.

Agreed re numbers in box (that is partly handbrake as well as athleticism - chicken and egg) and also speed of moving ball - any coincidence that our goal was from a raking Neves ball to Neto and an early cross?

We may be able to play clever 1-2s but players need to be close to each other not miles away.

Hope that you aren't saying goodbye to him anytime soon..... lol

Danny Kelly is an excellent journalist and radio presenter.
His "My Sporting Life" series was an excellent listen.

I think he relocated back to Ireland, hence why he isn't on as much as he used to be.

 

[Krispy Kreme]

Is guedes a big name in football?

Bigger than Neves, smaller than Jimenez.

But only marginally.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Moreover is the variety of goals he scores, left foot, right foot, head, and he can really spank them from range. Hopefully we don't coach that out of him like we did with Neves because that quality is very useful for a team that struggles to score goals.

Given that Lage worked with him at Benfica youth, you’d hope he wouldn’t stop him doing that!

 

[MasWolf]

I've seen something on Twitter by someone Portuguese who says it's something like "Gee-desh" - with the 'sh' being a Portuguese sh, you know like Ruben Nevsh - like a soft, long 'j' but hey, maybe Tim is the expert...

I think I might have been that person on Twitter, but I'm definitely not Portuguese!

You need to understand that there is a minority on here that would find something to moan about even if we did the quadruple. Chronic moaners.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Chronic moaners.

For which the portmanteau should be "moronic".

Ridiculous... How can you say that. What nonsense etc etc

It's terrible, there's only a few of us keeping the standards up on here.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

He will be a really good signing, and will show that we are not standing still.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Biggest first team ready signing for me since we tied Jimenez up on a permanent deal ....

Plenty of fans were underwhelmed by Raul's signing

Don't mean when we signed him on loan in the first season....I mean guedes is the best signing we have made since we tied Jimenez up on a permanent deal in the summer window off the 2nd season....

 

[JR WAS KING]

Danny Kelly is on a number of shows on Talksport, particularly the Monday night show from 7-10pm..

That is an excellent show as well. By far and away the best presenter on Talksport, knows his music as well. Comes across as a really nice bloke who you could spend an evening in the pub with, unlike some of the knobs on that station.

 

[hollo]

Why is guedes seen as a striker too? I thought he was a winger.

This signing might convince other players in europe to join. As a striker you would love the thought of having guedes and neto to supply you with chances.

I think he is one of those roaming forwards that can play on the wing but are restricted there and are better when the formation allows them to move across the front line.

He needs to get a better mobile service provider. Try MTN, Goncalo.

Ah but if he comes to the UK he’ll realise that he can’t roam freely on a Spanish network. He’ll need a UK and Spanish network.

To be fair, I think Collins was also first team ready. It's what we've all been crying out for. Quality over quantity. Obviously still lacking a striker and central midfielder, but very happy with both of those signings.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Would be an excellent signing. Hopefully it didn’t mean MGW is leaving to pay for it. Guedes, Belotti and Nico on loan and we’re looking a lot better.

On

But has he actually signed yet? Nothing on the OS.

He's at Wolves right now having his medical.

Well that's that then. I'll beat the rush and order a shirt with his name on now.

Last couple of seasons he has played as a roaming striker apparently.
