    If you watch his YouTube videos from last year he is pretty mobile and has a decent turn of pace and work ethic.

    He can shift, no Maeda or even Kyogo shift but shift nonetheless..

    He's been overweight and unfit here so we haven't seen enough of it..

    I think our next 3 league games will define our season.

    And this guy will be leading the line in all 3.

    Grim.

    Seriously baffled by the optimism regarding this guy.

    His record prior to his "wonder season" is * abysmal.

    In his short sub appearance last week i dont know what ppl are actually talking about, his hold up play his hold play. He did it once ffs.

    Not trying to be a negative nelly, but c'mon ffs. He spent more minutes on the deck clutching his head against hibs than he did providing anything of value.

    But i digress.

    C'mon ya big * numpty! Prove me wrong!

    He has clearly been way out of shape but I did think he looked trim the other night. Kyogo missing is obviously a huge loss to us as he is our talisman and match winner but with Jota back and Hatate also staying put we should have enough for these games. Giakoumakis is a goalscorer and I think if he gets chances he will show that. And he can hit a penalty too going on last years footage though obviously I wouldn't be taking them off Juranovic with how he has been going.

    Hes never taking an important penalty again. That penalty is whats caused everyone to doubt him tbh.

    No any more mobile or better than finishing than Ajei imo.
    He took his one goal well, aye. But he's missed a good few sitters too.

    I obviously hope I'm wrong, but I don't think he's anywhere near what we need.

    Don’t think he’s looked mobile at all really.

    No, don't get it either. Albeit short and fleeting, I've been utterly unimpressed any time he's been on the pitch, including the game he scored.

    No doubt next few games, an impact from him is needed..

    Injuries and no pre-season have obviously been an issue, but it can't be an excuse now, he should be up to speed....

    Not sure anyone can make up their minds about him one way or the other at this point, he's had so little game time.

    Just feel he needs to try and relax a bit, a couple of goals today could be just the ticket..

    That's because he's been unfit and overweight..

    He looked noticeably leaner and quicker the other day after getting work done over the break..

    We'll need to wait and see, i definitely think there's more to come from him, a lot more than he's shown so far..

    Just don't let him on penalties :fear:

    Think he offers us a different option, some of his holdup play really good. Have the feeling he's one of them players that thrives on confidence and being loved by the fans. Unfortunately he's come at a time where the fans have loads of new signings to purr about. When he starts banging them in the fans will come around to him it's all part and parcel, its like when Maciej Zurawski couldn't find the net then scored 4 against Dunfermline, he was a completely different player after that.

    Same. I think he's probably a dud, not impressed at all from what I've seen so far.

    I don't think he falls into the complete donkey category, i.e. Bangura, Balde, Ciftci, Scepovic, Burke etc.

    He's probably better than the semi donkey category, i.e. Kazim-Richards, Bayo, Klimala, Ajeti (??)

    But wouldn't say he's better than the level of Guidetti or Pukki, never mind the decent strikers we've had over the years in Stokes, Samaras etc.

    Either way, he has a massive opportunity now to show us what he's all about. I'd be lying if I said I think he'll come good but I really hope he does and delivers the goods.

    Or Murphy, Miku, Lassad, Fridjonsson

    I actually liked Miku and Lassad but they were still dud buys.

    Holy * balls weve signed some absolute clangers in the past few years.

    Fingers crossed Gia doesn't fall into the donkey or even semi donkey category lol.
