Fiorini

[sevenoaks]

Womans view....
Was I the only person, to see something in Fiorini yesterday?..
I dont think he looked as useless as he has been made out..

From his free kick it's obvious he has a good left foot, and maybe we might have scored a few more from outside the box had he played more.
We don't know whether it was fitness or attitude as to why he hasn't played, but I don't think he was really given a chance.

Having said that I don't think we will see him again, and I'm not too fussed.

He certainly stood out… in a good way.. but we need goals in midfield or someone who can create them.. that’s where he doesn’t meet our needs..

Didn't help yesterday, when trying to pass to Lua Lua..🙄

I thought he was brought in with the option of a contract at the end of the season and one way or the other NJ knows what he might offer next season.

Felt a bit sorry for Lua Lua yesterday…..once an exciting player who in his younger days went past defenders for fun, I don’t think yesterday he would have gone past me with my hip replacement……..The bit of play at the death when he tripped over his own feet and gave possession away rather than just throwing a cross in summed up our game yesterday and our season…….bloody woeful…..but he should be remembered as a really good winger in his day…..

As for Fiorini, decent enough little cameo, showed good technique with the free kick but is he good enough to be part of a promotion chasing side?,…..Would Pompey, Bolton or Derby come in for him when the quality required is more the likes of Aaron Collins…..I would very much doubt it?

Sorry but we need better quality IMO…..

I will be interested to see where he goes, as I don't think he is as bad as he has looked.

He certainly didn’t look that bad once he got into the game yesterday……who knows, maybe he could be NJ wildcard signing although I think we need better personally

We always need better, but don't very often get it..

I think we will this summer…..our last two signings were our best in the winter window and i think NJ had a major influence on both of these,…..👍

If we are going to create a team to win promotion next season, let me assure you Fiorini is not the answer!

[wizzo1952]

He is not even The Question...!!!!

Made out by people that never saw him play you mean !!

He done ok when he come on we will never know ,when we been crying out for number 10 ? but I rather believe Man City scouting team , coaches and management as they seemed to think he had something ..

Is this the same Man City scouting team that thought Tedic had something about him……🤣🤣🤣

The problem was that it took him half a season to get match fit so we never really saw what the player could offer…..one quality free kick in six months is all we really saw…..Blackpool and Lincoln fans really rated him, maybe NJ has seen something in him in training to give him a year contract?……..I can’t think of any other reason why he brought him on second half…….🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[watameires]

I suspect the reason he was put in was to give Anderson a message - I’ve hooked you for Forini! Improve or you’re out also…

[aaronaldo]

I thought he did well yesterday. He does have something about him. You can see there is a player there. We haven’t seen him enough to know if he can perform consistently enough.

Bit of a shame I think. Could do a good job for someone else in this league if given the chance.

Well he keeps picking Anderson week in week out ……..which is a mystery to me….🤔🤔

My pure coincidence I sat next to his Father at Wycombe ....He had come down to move him back to Manchester and the lad got the call to the squad on Thursday. He was very complimentary on how the club had looked after him in London. it was a shame his free kick didn't score !

I think Man City just paid us to get him fit so they could move him on…….I doubt we would have paid much of his wages

[surridgecobbler5]

Some poor use of the loan system for sure.
