    I'm just surprised nobody else on the board has mentioned the skill he used to twist and direct his header to the bottom corner of the goal,it was going in all the way,many a keeper would not have got to it.
    That was the point where I thought that Joselu is not just an average grafter but has quality as well.

    Yes and the moaners are devastated because they´ve lost a few 'stones' (our recent signings) to throw at Ashley and the club.

    I wasn't happy with our lack of transfer activity & the boards ambition, still not, Lucas Perez should have been signed straight away and made to feel important. With him on board alongside Joselu the toon army would have been a lot more satisfied!

    Sadly, it was not to be, so we are where we are & have who we have.

    Once again it's testiment to the ability and charater of Rafa the Gaffer for planning and training this team to perform better than the sum of it's parts.

    SBR-esque in his ability, in rafa we trust!

    Perez only wanted to go back to his old club in Spain,you can't hold a gun to a players head and force him to join you.
    Lots of clubs missed out on their targets.
    Of course if you are in the Champions League and double a players wages,then the £50 million you offer for a right back
    who had lost his place to Trippier will come off.

    Joselu had a very very good game.
    A striker that actually looks the part.
    Basically an all rounder and deserved to top his performance off with that goal that was somehow miraculously saved.
    I would have bet my house on that going in. It was brilliant the way he got into get up and direct it.

    If he had more pace about him he'd be perfect...but I'm more than happy with what he's contributed for us so far.
    Just some deserved end product would top it off.

    5 million looks a total steal for this fella and could end up being a potential fans favourite.
    Fingers crossed he gets the opportunity regularly and takes it.

    Neither was I but if we had signed Perez and, say Barkley or Cairney and they had put in performances like Joselu and Merino respectively over the last two games, would our opinion of our transfer window be any different?

    I´m not getting carried away because if we had bought a good LB and maybe a goalie, then I´d be a lot happier. However, it´s worth thinking about - it doesn´t matter what the players´name/reputation is that matters, it´s how they perform in our team, and attitude is far the most important attribute for our players for where we are now.

    Good on Rafa and good on Mbemba and Gamez for doing admirable jobs in filling that hole for now.

    i still think gamez is one of our best defenders

    never seen him have a bad game and cant understand how he doesnt get more time on the pitch ,and mbemba

    i would play mbemba in front of the back 4 and play 4 infront of him and 1 up front
