Giorgos Giakoumakis

Not getting this weaker side without him. We're in a better place than we have been and Oh has more pace and more physicality about him also. Works hard both tracking back and up top. Giak was a good scorer. Held the ball well. But I don't think we have missed him at all.

 

Did it not take Giakoumakis like 6 months or something before he started making a decent impact?

Important to give Oh time. Giakoumakis is criminally overrated on here at times. The "better than Kyogo" garbage from a few months back shows just that.

 

Yes we are, without doubt. But
*weaker than we would have been with him. Yes we are flying, but i dont think it can be contested that he brought something we didnt have.

 

We're not weaker having sold Giakoumakis. Oh has come in and done the same job Giakoumakis found himself doing this season. Coming on, giving us a different option, scoring a couple of goals and he's still settling.

 

I agree he is still settling but GG more effective at being the imposing presence in the box and Oh not able to bully the defenders the way he did.
I dont think Oh currently is as good a player as the GG that left us, but thats not to say in time he wont reach that kind of level.

 

Yeah it did, im sure he had a few injuries at the start.
Agree that Oh will take time to settle but iv never said GG was better than Kyogo, who is a good distance ahead for me.

 

Oh is physically on par with GG. It's the movement to get into a goalscoring chance that's the issue. That might be down to Oh not having gotten used to his teammates.

 

I don't think we are weaker without GG as i do think that Kyogo has upped his game after GG left.

Kyogo will eventually get injured some time, and i think that Oh can chip in with goals when that happen. Maeda is also more of a goal threat now.

 

If we were struggling and chasing a goal who would I rather come on:

A fully focused Giak or Oh? Admittedly it would be Giak. He's shown he could deliver while Oh hasn't yet had the chance.

In the fullness of time though, we've replaced Giak with someone younger, with more technical ability and who is happy at the club.

People need to move on. Oh hasn't yet had a chance to settle in and show what he can do. Keep the Faith.

 

Since drawing with the huns at new year we have won every game comfortably and scored a * load of goals.
How the * can you say we’re weaker?
I always thought the guy was over rated anyway.

 

You could tell he was a moany *. Think the squad is far better without him.

 

Well done big man

 

I miss the big man. He was great for us.

 

Good start for him there. Still glad he's gone though.

 

He'll be happy that the 'quality' of the goalies is that high.

 

Glad he's gone as that's what needed to happen for all parties. I'd still be happy to have him if the situation was different.

Glad he's doing well though as it makes future sales more appealing and he should be triggering some of our additional clauses in the deal.

 

Good to see him doing well. He'll be very effective in the MLS.
