Ex-Player GVK

SwissYellow

Level: Chris Maguire
(79 Apps, 22 Gls)
Down the middle, with a striking partner, seemed to work I thought.

Pace, skill and more importantly put pressure on the opposition defence, rather than us sitting back waiting for them to build.
 
Not a clue which GVK will turn up.

At least we had a plan Saturday. The final ball was lacking but it was clear we were using our assets - pace.

Napa, IBR, Rothwell.

Keep poking the balls in the channels and work from there
 
He's a brilliant "super sub" but i don't think he's fit enough to play from the start.
He always starts games brighlty and drifts of after about 25 minutes on the pitch.
Looks a lot better behind a striker then on the wing or the lone man upfront.
If we can use him as someone who comes on when defences tire and he comes on behind a striker around 65 minutes he could start to terrorise defenses like he did to Plymouths for about 15 minutes until they figured him out.
 
Valued at £800k though so should be ripping up this league.
I don't think that is a realistic figure.
Even if he was worth that, does that amount of money really get you a player that rips up the league, Cod, Roofe and Johnson all left for a lot more money, did any of them rip up this league, they all had some great games and good spells but over a season none of them were battering the opposition week in week out, no matter how good a player is he's limited by the quality and system around him.
 
Gino is a good option off the bench because of his pace and directness. I don’t think he’s good enough or disciplined enough to start matches and play 90 mins, but when our attack has gone stale he has shown that he can come on and change things up.

I think that, when fit, he should always be on the bench. When we find ourselves needing a goal he’s great to bring on against tiring defenders. Admittedly he can contribute to goals equally well at both ends (not sure he knows what tracking means), but when you’re already losing and not looking likely to score, what’s there to lose?!
 
Actually some familiar names in the Curacao lineup. Didn't know Cuco Martina and Bacuna played for them for example. Benschop is relatively well known in Germany too. Can we all also give thanks for the wonderful name Jimbertson Vapor as well.

As for GVK, I have really no idea. One week looks like a good player, next week he looks like he plays for the Dog and Duck. Clearly not worth 800k but if he's happy and assuming Slavia have been watching him and know they are never going to recoup the transfer money, then I wonder if we can't say "guys, not a hope in hell of getting 800 grand for him, how about 100,000".

This is assuming he impresses KR of course...
 
Gino has the athleticism of a top player, the technique of a lower league player and the football intelligence and composure of a non league player. He struggles when he has a decision to make, like the 3 on 1 last weekend. If he could be coached to improve his decision making then I think he could be a very useful player in the squad. As it stands though, as soon as he loses his pace he has had it as a footballer at this level.
 
Could be wrong but I got the impression that the overseas players’ days at Oxford could be limited from what Robinson said yesterday. He alluded to the importance of young British players getting opportunities in the EFL. I’m obviously not implying that he’ll chuck them all out just for being from overseas, that would be unfair on Ricardinho and even Pekalski, but I think it’s fair to say that it’s unlikely that we’ll see the likes of Tiendalli, Mehmeti and GvK here beyond the end of the season
