It just gets better with age
Dasilva is an excellent footballer. May not be a great defender but one of the best technically on the ball we have.
BTA is absolutely awful, another 2 million pissed down the drain.
Their careers to date show that it’s obviously not the case.Surely Tavares is better than this guy anywhere across the front line

Are you stuck in the 80's? It's 2024, 2 million basically gets you nothing these days, especially not a tried and tested Championship level player in their mid-20's.
Yeah I've noticed that too. We paid £2.5m for BTA but Sheffield United got Tyreece Campbell on a free. Keifer Moore cost £1.6m.Its very funny that people keep trying this when we’ve still got <£1m signings in the team who are some of our best players and the entire squad is paid for with the proceeds of another.

But there's a difference between excellent recruitment and development to end up with a top player at this level (hasn't happened recently), and purchasing a player who is already proven at this level.
Dasilva should be in Panto this time of year, not anywhere near a football pitch.It just gets better with age

Same for Collins where shouting "it's behind you" is actually funny.
I personally think what @shmmeee said holds true. He’s ‘technically’ a good footballer.
He is however not a good athlete, makes weird decisions / mistakes, poor in an 1v1 and is generally a shit defender. So in that sense he is crap at football at the moment.
I can see positives in him, but also his negatives haven’t changed the whole time he’s been here. There is room for nuance in football imo.

I think he’d be very good in a team that pushes their fullbacks high or plays wingbacks. I don’t think he’s helped by his CB or his height. But mainly I just don’t think he’s ever deserved the shit he gets and like sheaf a couple of years ago is at the point where people blame him for every goal he’s on the pitch for.
I don't think he's a fullback or a wingback, he's also not a winger. He's just a tidy footballer who is neither great at defending or attacking. He'd have probably been better as a central midfielder, maybe in the Jamie Allen mould.I think on the left of a back five for a possession based team with three good CBs, he could maybe be okay, but still always seems to have a mistake in him.
Also other than being able to keep the ball well, as an attacking outlet he offers less than other wide players.
I don’t think a lot of players deserve the shit they get tbh, but can see why people have found him an underwhelming signing. I don’t understand how some people cannot see that he is good at some things.

if my grandma had wheels…If he could apply basic ball control his game would improve no end!

You thought Jobello looked technically good?That team could have Jobello on the other side. Another player that looked technically good but offered nothing. Da Silva isn't any good when he is forward. Just slows everything down and goes backwards. If he cuts inside he stumps himself because he has nothing off his right foot. Also he can only play the ball the way he is facing. He can't turn, he can't receive the ball and turn at the same time. He isn't technically good at all.
Yes about as good as Da Silva looks technically good. I think you missed the ironyYou thought Jobello looked technically good?
We haven't seen much because he's 3rd or 4th choice in every position he can play lolStill think Thomas Asante can come good. Haven't really seen enough of him to have a proper assessment yet, similar with Dovin.
