Posted a shot of himself on an aircraft on his Instagram story. Looks like the poor bastard is in economy, should have asked for business. 1 Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Has anyone here actually seen this guy play? Is he any good? It seems we’re pinning a lot of our hopes for this season on this guy (and possibly a fair bit of our budget too). Is he an exciting player that’s going to get us off our seats or is he a Rooney type goal scorer who’s not great to look at but can put the ball in the net? Link to comment
Zeus Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 He's the 2021 equivalent of Duncan Shearer 1992 Link to comment

From what I’ve read he’s more Adam Rooney type than Wayne Rooney. I don’t think he’s the type of player that will get us off seat but if he scores 15-20 goals he will do nicely! Link to comment

I've not watched him play but from what I've read on Twitter, it suggests that he more of a poacher than a fancy player. He needs a creative team around him and he is a bit slow but if he gets a chance in front of goal 9/10 times he'll score, however he is prone to the occasional sitter. I am really not sure though, this is just what I have read on Twitter from Houston Dynamo fans. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 From clips i've seen on youtube etc, he looks like he knows where the back of the net is. Seems a tidy finisher. In saying that, I posted a video of Teddy Jenks, a player Brighton fans rave about, and he couldn't pass a ball, so not sure if using a few minute youtube video is a good way of basing opinion.

Tord31 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Looks like a poacher but he's lost his magic since around 2018 time. Normal striker signing for us but a bit more interesting than normal Link to comment

What would Brighton fans know about football? I hope he is everything they're saying he is though, and not what he appears to be from that woeful youtube video! If Ramirez is more of a Rooney type he'll be reliant on others creating chances for him - maybe Glass is going to revert to the McInnes "golden era" formation and play McGinn and Hayes wide, terrorising full backs and whipping balls in for Roonmirez to finish.

McGinn and Hayes will need to lose 5 years from their legs for that to work... so I seriously hope that isn't the plan. Link to comment

Rooney has been our highest percentage scorer in years overall & I think even he was maybe a 5/10 at best. Link to comment

Studebaker-90 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Well what do you want? A goal scorer or somebody with the ability to beat defenders at will? Haven’t had a player since Jess capable of that. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 ‘Proven goal scorer’ bit of a stretch that. Especially of late. We’ll see I guess if Scottish football suits. just hope we’re working our way UP our striker list for our 3rd (first choice) striker & not down 1 Link to comment
