BHA striker who's good in air and on ground, shoots with either foot, good 1st touch.

[Bromley shrimp]

Quote from Frederico Turienzo quote in yesterday's programme -

"I am very good in the air. Even though I am tall, I play well with my feet. I can shoot with both my left and right foot and have a good first touch."

I have seen this man play only briefly against Reading and Luton.

My question is (assuming he's not still injured from December), "Can he be so bad as to have been moved down the pecking order still further yesterday?"

Is the jury not still out on this one? I've never seen him doing anything marvellous, but at the same time have not witnessed a level of ineptness consistently demonstrated by McGammon, who has been given an abundance of chances.

Am I missing something fundamental here (I have heard about the Brady connection, the Lewes game, etc), or could we be missing a trick, by not giving him a run in the team? I just find it so hard to believe that there can be that much daylight in selection terms between Turienzo and the forwards that we in desparation repeatedly re-cycle, with such limited return.

For the avoidance of doubt these are: Carole, Hart, Gatting, CKR, Robinson, McPhee, McGammon.

When i read the comment about how hes good with both feet and in the air etc i couldnt help but laugh, he sounds perfect!

 

[El Turi]

He's injured at the moment.

 

[algie]

He an't good in the air

 

[Del Boy]

His agent is good.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

His video editor is good.

 

[Superseagull]

His agent is good.

His translator isn't!

 

[Biscuit]

To be fair he has been injured alot and hasn't had much of a chance. Remember people jumping on Butters' back? Selling him on auction sites etc? I'll wait and give him a real chance before criticise.

 

[Gully]

He was good in the air when he flew here from Argentina, didn't cause the stewards any problems whatsoever, ate his in flight meals like a good little boy and didn't pee himself when they let him into the cockpit.

 

[Superseagull]

The only time I saw him play was against Reading at the start of the season and I thought he looked OK. He even had a shoot at goal which is alwas a bonus for us these days! The blatent foreign style dive spoilt his debut though. Maybe he could be our saviour this season? Then again maybe not.

Estoy muy bueno en el aire. Aunque estoy alto, juego a bien con mis pies. Puedo disparar con ambos mi izquierdo y pie del derecho y tiene un bueno primeros toca

DESESPERACION

i think people have slagged him too much, he needs time to settle etc....

its ok this lot on here have to have a player to slag, it will change soon

I'd so love it if last game of season, we need 3 points to stay up, 0-0, 90th minute, El Turi steps up and powers home a 25 yard volley to keep us, but who can see that happening

Would it take a deflection of a flying pig?

The diving could be coached out.
There's a natural opening for Turienzo in the sqaud with Hammond out and possibly Carole as well.
The Butters analogy is a good one (I saw him at Portsmouth).
Shoot me down, but I'd rather know if the Argie's up to the job than be left wondering.

I've been advocating we sign a striker for a good while, so now I'm onto plan B - finding a winning combo from what we've got. Put my curiosity down to scraping the barrell or clutching at straws, no one's actually provided any indication as to whether Federico's in the pack of strikers we have already or (due perhaps to a clever marketing ploy) so far behind as to be not worthy of consideration.

He didnt loose a header at Luton - infact he won everything he went for. He also won us our only free kicks in dangerous areas in that whole match.

Pretty much how I saw it. He also got a terrific reception from the Albion behind the goal as walked back to the tunnel, which tells you something.

You make a FANTASTIC point there Biscuit. Have we learned nothing from Guy Butters? We simply cannot judge a player when he's not fully fit ...... ironically, that was similiar point McCammon was trying to make about his performances this season.

But you are right Biscuit, the jury must remain out until we see him fit, and getting a run in the side.

Seen Turi against Reading, luton and Crewe and he caused problems in all these games but seemed to lack a decent first touch. Great shot against Reading.
