Pilchards Posted 5 September, 2009 Share Posted 5 September, 2009 Now it was great seeing the guy before kickoff and I really do see him giving the whole team a good bonding exercise as I reckon they all will be doing his dance but my question is this. Does Waigo look at our team and think 'What the **** am I doing here' or does he think that he will love being the star player here and that he don't care they looked crap? Discuss please.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 5 September, 2009 Share Posted 5 September, 2009 Hopefully the latter, but I don't agree with the whole "we're crap" business, as today we did play some good football (although I'll admit it was limited). Things are improving I reckon, and hopefully with Waigo we will see more improvement, and hopefully, a few wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 5 September, 2009 Share Posted 5 September, 2009 I should be extremely surprised if Waigo does anything at all positive, third division english football will probably not be his cup of millet beer.Prepare for another Torpedo, Sarmiento,Griffit,Sarli type deception.He will get kicked up in the air 10 minutes into the game next week and after that he will become invisible.

Unfair comment I think. The lad isn't a lightweight like Griffit or Sarmiento, he's 6 foot 1 and looks like he can handle himself physically, plus he'll be used to getting kicked all over the place, defenders in Italy are nasty b*stards. He's probably overjoyed that he'll be playing in our nice shiny stadium rather than the decaying concrete ovals of Italy and as I mentioned on a previous thread, he spent a few seasons at Verona and it's f'in cold there in the winter.

I am a connaisseur of African Footballers, look at Utaka, the bees bollix at Lens, struggling like hell at Pompey, our game just doesn't suit them.It's nothing negative but the bloke has had no real success outside Italian serie B when he was at Cesena, these blokes need to be protected by refs and he won't get that in League 1.

WE shall see, I said I should be surprised that's all. You all see him as some sort of Messiah, I see him as another second rate senagalese footballer who can't cut it in Serie A.

oxfordshire_saint Posted 5 September, 2009 Share Posted 5 September, 2009 (edited) our game just doesn't suit them Africans are the same as any other foreigners that come here, some are hits, some are best forgotten. Are you telling me Drogba isn't suited to the Premier League? Obviously for every Drogba there is a Djemba Djemba. But like I said, it's the same for all foreigners, look at Italians, for every Zola there's a Silenzi, or Dutch, for every Van Nistelrooy there's a Boogers, or French, for every Cantona there's a Guivarch, etc etc. Edited 5 September, 2009 by oxfordshire_saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not claiming him to be a messiah, just not happy that people are writing him off before he's even played a game. I'm sure there's plenty of players who couldn't cut it in Serie A that could probably cut it for us! Robbie Keane couldn't cut it in Serie A!

S-Clarke Posted 5 September, 2009 Share Posted 5 September, 2009 I only have the fear that this complete unknown is being made into this ''season saving'' savior - the unveiling on the pitch was a bit OTT - not being negative, but i just think he should be blended into the team like the other new lads have. He could turn out to be excellent...but im not sure they should be building this unknown entity up this much. Let's wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 Perhaps we should wait and see him play. All this "he is going to save us or "he'll not cut it in this league" is premature because hardly anyone (inc Pardew) has seen the lad kick a ball in anger.

Saint Sanso Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 I reckon he thought "17 shots but no goals, come to Mama !!!!" I completely agree with this, I reckon he is probably bouncing around right now and very eager to play, knowing hes going to get opportunitys to score. I have never seen the guy play or even heard of him before his signing, but if he is what hes been hyped up to be.. then I think he took alot of enthusiasm from todays game.

ladysaint Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 I really hope he turns out good but I hate it when the parade players on the pitch before a game, it gives them a lot to live up to. I think the last two pitch paraders were Skacel and Delgado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 It would be interesting to hear how we found him, especially as AP publicly commented the other week on our lack of scouting and knowledge base. He also mentioned that he has kept his finger on the pulse whilst out of work, so he is fully aware of every incoming players abilities and where they fit into the big plan. Really do think that us (the fans) are often guilty of overhyping players and coaches, but that's just human nature. Still, he has a good name and it will have already sold a few shirts which go towards his plane fare (hope he flew FlyBe), and it was a nice change from the usual dross pre-match entertainment to watch a fully grown man do a funny dance for no other reason than to make us supporters smile.

Even MLT suffered for periods under the wrong managers. he was good at hearts...but like burley...good for half a season which is not a long time (which many over look)...hull were great for half a season last year.. he was a victim of hype...but who hyped him..? he never. I think he would be great for us now and was good for us in the CCC.. playing at LB..which was NEW to him by his own admission (he never was a LB and played there once or twice for marseille) was not helpfull... funny how the players we slated for so long...some of which would be ideal now..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 I have to admit, presenting Waigo to the crowd pre-match was a bit cringe-worthy as we haven't actually seen him play yet.

Saint Richard of Woolston Posted 7 September, 2009 Share Posted 7 September, 2009 Papawaigo had a very good season in Seria B but really failed to cut it in Seria A. If he plays to his potential, and adjusts to English weather, food etc then the consensus of the people who HAVE seen him play is that he will do very well for us in this League.
