gccrowdpleaser Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Seems in decent shape based on the video in the interview. Could be interesting. He's been in training and show fitness and right attitude so I'll happily back it. Wish him well and hope he bullies a number of Championship Centre backs whilst providing additional aerial threat and cover for set pieces.

I reckon he will be alot more athletic than Martin and I mean alot more, question is will his touch and passing be anywhere near as good. Watch the signing video. Looks powerful and lean. Nice couple of touches too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksRam Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Following on from my earlier comment I've just got round to watching his interview, and more's the point, the clips of his goals in training. Pretty good finishes. Clearly Cocu and team have seen more than enough in training to convince themselves he's worth signing. I for one hope so.

DcfcMatt Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I thought he interviewed well. Just checked out the odd YouTube video, he's pretty handy with the ball at his feet, he has a few tricks up his sleeve. Let's see what he can bring.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Jesus,is this the best we can do? He'll be getting a bus pass before he finishes his first year with us. He's a target man tho,so that's an improvement over marriott at least. Might turn out to be a signing like Bent was at the end of his career.

Millenniumram Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 At least it’s only a one year deal, clearly just emergency short term cover. A bizzare signing, but not one of huge significance I wouldn’t say. At least we’ve got another striker in now. Welcome to the club Colin! Also welcome to the new U23 lads, not seen much mention of them haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Charlie Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes it was a good interview. We can get a bit snobby as Rams fans. I would ask the question why is he not good enough for Derby? If you look at his career he looks like a journeyman but when you listen to what he says he's a family man just earning a crust and putting his family first. He's got a year in him he's here because the schools are shut in Mexico and he is vastly experienced. He's played in some proper cauldrons. He's played for Fenerbache and Galatasary. That takes a proper pair of cojones, especially if you have to walk out in a Galatasary shirt away at Fenerbache having been a player there. He's played for Brazilian royalty in the shape of Corinthians and he's toughed in out in the back streets of Mexico. I'm telling you this guy will be phased by nothing. He brings the kind of experience most professionals can only dream of including our pampered mega stars of the Premier League. I'm just annoyed that I can't go and watch him at Pride Park.

Good to see we've replaced our Mercedes with. . . an ageing Ford Cortina, with zero acceleration and no headlights. And we're giving Marriott away to a rival team. Yeay!

Welcome Kaz. I am not bothered where he has played, whether he is phased or not...I am interested in what he has achieved on the pitch. Just hope in this instance the stats are deceptive ?

Welcome Kaz. Probably because he is 34 and at the very back end of a strikers career and hasn't played here for some time....and was clearly a long way down Cocus original list and has been signed when the rest turned us down and at the last minute May do a job for us as a stopgap this year and surprise everyone,let's see but he's no long term prospect which is what I thought we were aiming for when we let CM leave.

It would be laughable if didn’t spend the majority of his career playing as a striker! There are Centre backs with better goal scoring records. . . short term or not, to go from Martin to this is nothing short of a farce What happened to Roseniors “1000’s” of players?

Welcome Kaz. Potential move for Austin was about 50-50 supported by fans. He has scored less than Austin, not played recently in England or in a league similar to ours, is older than Austin, been available for a while and no one has been desperate to sign him. Think fans are allowed to be underwhelmed... May be a master stroke but on a list of 'players who will get the fans excited' he would definitely be on page 2.
