Bucks Saint Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 Humble request for my benefit as I did not make the game on Saturday. I have read the reviews and reaction which all rave about Guly. Sounds like he has the potential to be a real favourite. From what I have read, he sounds like he may have just a little bit of Berkovic, Fernandes or even Ekelund about him (at a lesser level clearly) but I may well be jumping to optimistic conclusions based on the glowing reports. Which past Saint does he remind you of please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brussels Saint Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 From the reports so far, I would guess a bit more like Viafara with touch so actually not like Viafara at all........... not one of my best posts this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 He really was good on Saturday. He has a lot of pace, which we've been missing, so in that respect Antonio I guess, the touch and ball control of Lallana, the vision of Morgan and the work rate of Barnard. I'm obviously not saying he is as good as all these players put together but he definitely brought a lot to the team. I actually think the comment above comparing him to Drogba isn't far off. Obviously they are miles apart in their overall ability but his style of play was similar- quick, strong and explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 Something about his appearance reminds me of Carlton Palmer (other than being a lanky black guy). Might be his running style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and away Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 But he was a poor signing because he was a risk wasn't he? And proved conclusively to be **** after one game? We aren't saying this forum is full of illogical reactionary morons are we? Actually to be fair over praising would be silly too. He looks potentially to be above league 1 level and a great signing, but consistency and cold tuesday nights at **** grounds are key. I'm sure Adkins will get the best out of him anyway. Anyone who has had the misfortune to watch Brazilian league football would recognise the type immediately. For a forward he is persistent, skillful and not worried about getting in there. If you go back through the years and all those teams that came and parked the bus in front of goal, Guly looks better than anything for this league and that problem. He could easily go on to be far better but I would hold back to get a decent marker other than Tranmere. Definitely not too lightweight for this league, but on a cold, rainy night in Hartlepool may have him wondering what the fook he is doing here.

Nutwood2 Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 Knew he was class as soon as he came on at Bristol Rovers. Two overhit passes straight away, but great awareness , great movement and great first touch. Mario Kempes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud mark of doom Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 He reminded me of a young Ferenc Puskas. Slightly better in the air tho. He really came of age on Saturday.
