Touch needs work.

 

I think the deal was Obligation to buy, means we buy him no matter what.

He does have positives but his technical game is lacking, for me he looks like someone to bring on as a sub rather than starting.

 

Said previously he needs time but I’m not overly impressed so far.

Has rarely got in behind defences which is his main threat.

Giakamoukis would be my preferred choice at the moment.

 

He's got the touch of Kenny Miller...

 

Hope we jinx him but not impressed with him so far. His touch is awful and some of his runs are * poor.

 

Not much positives to take from everyone on the pitch but that was some header tbf

 

Really good header but he looks proper pish so far..

Early day's still and has time to settle but there was a moment second half where he just had to slip it right with his back to goal. He ended up playing it so far back in to our half that he overhit it to Juranovic and he had to run back to retrieve it. We were in a great position as well when he first had it..

Makes some decent runs but has zero composure for me. Even that one where he hit it off the keeper's chest. He made a mess of trying to control it in the first place....a common theme from his time here..

 

He's got some excellent qualities but he's raw as *. Poor touch and lacking finesse. Great movement, pace and an instinctive finisher though. Lots to work with, but miles off a Kyogo.

 

I think he looks great. Great runs, scores, dont know what more to expect from him.

 

I think hes * tbh.

 

He's quite a polarising player

He's obviously not at the same level as Kyogo, but I still think he's a very useful player to bring on when the game is coming to a close. Also still has 4 goals, not a terrible return.

 

Cracking header but he’s absolutely powder puff.

 

Weird. Think he’s looked * so far but scored a few goals.

Looks miles away from Kyogo, ability wise.

 

* it. I like him. A bit raw, has to work on his touch and passing but works hard and annoys defenders. Scored a few goals as well. Just what I expected from YT clips.

 

very nice goal, i dont think he's an out and out striker through, he played much better once GG was on

 

Was busy today and got into a couple of good positions. But the defence had his number, I get the impression he's used to shrugging off centre halves but isn't going to have his way so easily against teams like that. Was clear fairly early on that Giakoumakis would have been a better choice to start.

 

Think he's getting there slowly but surely.

 

There is absolutely no doubt he'll score goals for us; it's equally as clear that he'll never be a top class player. That's fine. Let's just allow him to develop and use him accordingly. When Kyogo's back he won't be first choice anyway.

 

I thought he would be brilliant based off what I had read like Kyogo on steroids but he looks a million miles off it. Second touch is a tackle

 

He’s the Japanese Paddy Klimala.

Sorry, but he looks utter *.
