Whitey Grandad Posted 12 January, 2015 Share Posted 12 January, 2015 Is he available for Wednesday? Would be ideal to give him more game time. No. He would have had to have been eligible for the original tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Looks a hell of a find based on his first two appearances. Two well taken goals, good pace, excellent work rate and got some ability on the ball too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I've just seen his post match interview and I must say it was refreshing. Obviously delighted to be here and back in the goals, clearly grateful that RK has given him a chance (after what seems to have been a difficult time in Germany) and apparently interacting with his new team mates well. In short everything I want to see from one of our players and not a sign on show of the reputation for being rather 'difficult' that preceded his arrival. We've all seen many new players start well but then rapidly go off the boil, but I'm thinking that Eljero may well prove to be a real asset to this squad for the rest of the season - and maybe beyond.

shurlock Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 (edited) Loved the interview - was what was I hoping for from Osvaldo, someone who desperately wants to repay the faith shown in him by the manager and just grateful for another opportunity. Long may it continue, even when hes not having it all his own way. Edited 17 January, 2015 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 He's obviously got talent, you don't get 20-odd Dutch NT caps and signed by Juve/Bremen without being pretty special. Seems to have great physical attributes with his strength and speed. Fantastic skills on the ball typical of a dutch player. Sounds like it was all a mental thing that stopped him from succeeding at other clubs. He comes across quite shy/softly-spoken/humble in his interviews so perhaps he needs confidence to shine, and he seems to be getting that from Koeman and co.

pangy Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 I think it's a big testament to the Koemans and all the back room staff for not only there coaching abilitys but the man management as well,from what it seems he has taken quite a gamble on him,but he has already got him firing on all cylinders.he will only improve as he gets used to the players and tempo of the prem,and at £4.5 mill in the summer he could be some signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesaint sfc Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Does anyone follow him on facebook? After both his games so far he has posted a video which shows pretty much every touch of the ball he made. Literally I'm not sure where he gets the footage from and I'm fairly sure if it was reported he would probably be asked to take it down He certainly seems to have something to prove! Long may it continue. Great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Sanso Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Loved it when he said "Not so good for the first 10 minutes, then we started to play football" So was everyone having tea for the first 10 minutes?? Genuine guy, I like him, I get the impression he was rock bottom in confidence prior to his arrival and has had a tough time of it, glad Koemans confidence in him has turned things around.
