Like pereira at West Brom, but better. Amazed he stayed at Norwich last season destined for a big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gammon cheeks Posted 26 May, 2021 Share Posted 26 May, 2021 Not good enough for me . Maybe could play a more central role behind a lone striker but we dont play that way so we will never know i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s laughable that people think players wouldn’t adapt to rule changes and would therefore get sent off every week if they were miraculously transported to 2021. These were highly intelligent footballers, who knew the game inside out. You’re right, mental strength is totally lacking with players like Djneppo. You don’t have to be running around kicking people to show that. Mane has it, Tadic had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpin4rizeal Posted 15 August, 2022 Share Posted 15 August, 2022 Wanted to say thought djenepo looked great attacking wise against Leeds was skinning the full back for fun .. few stopovers and gone. Put some nice crosses in too.. not giving up on him yet when he can beat players with ease like that we don’t really have anyone else capable of doing that.. I actually think he would be interesting in one of the positions stuey or elyounoussi played where he would get license to roam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 17 August, 2022 Share Posted 17 August, 2022 He looked much better after the change in formation and actually going on the outside for a change rather than cutting in non-stop. Would still much prefer to see Perraud starting every game at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 9 June, 2023 Share Posted 9 June, 2023 He’s an easy one to dismiss and forget as he had so few chances under Jones and Selles, however we’ll be hard pushed to get a player with his trickery in the Championship and may look back and appreciate him more. Having said that, he’s been around the club for a long time and it could be said he’s an integral part of the malaise the club finds itself in. And now we’ve got some young and hungry attacking talent coming through, it’s best for both parties for him to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a strange signing because his best position seems to be as an out and out winger but he's rarely had the opportunity to play as one. Certainly under RH it was all about working against the ball and cutting inside but think we could have utilised him far better. I'd really only want him as a squad option so if he goes then it's not going to be the end of the world and definitely need to get the size of the squad down.

I think the issue with him is that his best qualities don’t match the style of play Martin and Wilcox want to bring about…he’s all about running at defences rather than controlling the ball and releasing it to a teammate. Don’t know, but reckon his pass completion stats and his assists are low so that alone would rule him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, the obvious thing to me is that we've coached away some of his raw instinct. When he arrived he just constantly took players on and in his first few games scored two of our best goals from that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfcphilc Posted 9 June, 2023 Share Posted 9 June, 2023 I'd actually keep hold of Djenepo as a squad player. He has that unpredictability that may win 1 or 2 games during a season in the Championship. I agree that he's not the best and that I wouldn't want him starting often, but I think under the right management he can be useful. As with many of our squad, I guess it all depends on what offers we receive and if we'd rather stick or twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOWSaintDaz Posted 10 June, 2023 Share Posted 10 June, 2023 Can't fault his effort but he too injury prone and is made of glass, reminds me of our former player Lee Holmes who had some promise but was wrecked by the phyisical side of the game where he was just not up to the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
