We'll maybe convert him into a top drawer centre half.I thought he is an 8 mostly that can play10, but that was based on his Olympic matches and what Warnock said. We will have to wait and see how he is used i guess
His Instagram is private now
Genuinely exciting signing.Watching him in the Olympic and he stood out for me.
Strong in tackle
An eye for goal
A great long shot
and he has the dark arts as well
Plus he has great close control and a fighting spark.
finally a central attacking mf
a genuine no 10
I remember one day listing to Talksport and they asked him about Carlos De Pena. He basically said 'who?'. The talksport guy said 'just signed for Boro'.I was wondering what Tim Vickery made of him. It's positive that he rates him.
Yes, you can always be false positive.Yes I do but his big issue was his lack of physicality he was bullied too much in the England game as he was just a reserve in Argentina. This lad has played senior football for his team he’s just represented his nation at the olympics and he’s a tough b***r as we saw in his Olympic clashes.
totally different players.
but hey if you want to be negative.
I hope people don't expect him to be a world beater from the off.
We know how people can write a player off before they've signed never mind a few weeks (I did with Bolasie ).
He's young and in a new league / country and playing style. That's without the lingo barrier. It's not like we are stacked with South Americans to make him feel at home (no stuani type BBQs). I imagine he may have a few things to get used to like holding onto the ball too long or maybe even going down a bit easy.
I genuinely think it could take months to get him fully up to speed. Just hope folk ain't saying on here 'he's sh*t' after 3 sub appearances.
Never thought of Marinelli being lacking in physicality. I'm sure he was 6ft tall. Just a bit of dicky dancer who flattered to deceive.Yes I do but his big issue was his lack of physicality he was bullied too much in the England game as he was just a reserve in Argentina.
