Just commenting on what I saw today.

It might only be a couple of games in but its already clear that he is not up to pace with the rest of the team.
He hardly won a header all game, and when he did the crowd gave a cheer so there were plenty who felt as I did.
What disappointed me the most was his basic ball control or lack of it, he couldn't keep anything to his feet at all.

My biggest concern is where our goals are going to come from, because if Pelle cant get them then relying on long to provide them is wishful thinking based on his goal record.
At this moment in time I would have Long as our striker and have Pelle feeding him, based purely on Shanes pace

If I could head a ball in the UK, I don't see how I'd lose that ability if I went to any other country in the world. I'm only commenting on what I've seen so far, and hope he shows himself to be anything other than the dud he looks so far.

Given what we paid for Pelle, I don't see why I should be happy clappy about his performances to date?

Maybe he wont fit, maybe he will, but getting on someone's case never helped boost their confidence.

But Italian fans say he was terrible in his old country, Italy. They described him as too slow and lazy for Serie A. He spent much of his career in Serie B.

He used to play for Cesena, where he was succeeded by Guly. What does Cecco think of him?

George Weah's cousin again?

He was a promising young when played in the Cesena.
But...was in Serie B.

He likes to the girls, is a nice boy. :)

Who the f@ck do you think you are? Your forwards aren't fit to lace the boots of Graziano Pelle, whoever they might be.

Division four toss. Give us a shout when your disgrace of a club has something to compare. Till then, crack on with your preparations for the mighty Cas Newedd!! XD XD XD

Division four!

XD XD XD

Haven't seen him play so i can't comment on his performances so far, but it will always be difficult to replace a club legend like Rickie Lambert.

From what i've read he received very little service yesterday so seeing as Koeman wanted him it may be worth setting the team up to play to his strengths

Probably thought the extra 'L' was a misspelling.

Whiskey George signed a Pele when he was here a few years ago
Pedro Pele was awful and was last seen playing for Havant & Waterlooville

He had a lot of service, but almost every time he jumped for a header and missed. Hence the jeers when he finally made contact. Honestly I think he actually kicked the ball only twice; and it was the same in the Leverkusen game.

Serious coaching needed or a very, very poor signing.
