[Albion] Igor , Dahoud and Fati. What an absolute waste of money.

Hes had a couple of not great games but I've always liked Igor. Great on the ball, stepping out and zipping passes. He's got a nice little shimmy as well for a big lad.

I was surprised about how much stick he got. Happens when results take a nose dive I suppose.

One of a few players that immediately get the crowd going every time he touches the ball.

To be fair, dwayne was spot on with the other two, plus Igor WAS shite when this thread was posted.

Lots of embarrassing after-timing going on here at dwayne's expense.

Previously gash player flourishes under new manager shock. :rolleyes:
Agree. I bounced the thread as a general acknowledgement of how the guy has improved, not to have a dig at Down in the dumps Dwayne (for once).

However, it makes you think how the other two would've got on under Fab (if Fati could start fit).

Fati is broken again.



I think it’s the strain of playing lots of high intensity football while still physically developing. The bloke was a Spanish international at 16. It will be interesting to see if Yamal ends up down the Messi route or the Fati route.

It seems like our more flair / combustible coaches like a risk on a big star and Tony sometimes allows it. Poyet had Bridge and Vicente. Ultimately only one of the three worked but all caused big initial excitement. I remember NSC eagerly tracking Fati’s plane.

Dahoud was shit, I’ll give the OP that, but those Igor comments :lol:

To be fair, I feel @dwayne takes the teasing in the (usual) good nature it’s intended. I certainly take his ribbing of me this way.

I'll be honest, I always felt the Igor bashing started when people began turning on RDZ's near constant moaning about our transfer strategy, so people pointed out that the 3 signings he specifically made (Fati, Dahoud and Igor) weren't up to snuff. That then seemed to evolve into "Igor is garbage", which he never was.

My Dad has always been a huge Igor fan, and I agree with him. A run of gams has proven that he's far from a liability and is actually a core member of this squad.

The Frau rather likes Igor. The only other observation she has made was when I met Inigo Calderon, she said "he's quite rugged, isnt he?" althought she did go a bit odd and distracted when she saw Vicente in the flesh.

I suspect my Dad likes him for different reasons, but glad he has a burgeoning fan club

That’s the rub when you post negative stuff much of the time, some of it will get thrown back when it’s wrong.

I think Vicente worked as well, it set a high bar of intention for us, when he did play he was unbelievably good. I know the key word is 'when'.

What a difference a decent pre-season and a new manager makes (for one of Dwayne's trio)...

Yes, Igor got back into the team due to injury, but I think he's been fantastic - the highlights of him against Manchester City showed how much he has improved. Long may it continue.

:clap:
Absolutely. I thought he had the mysterious "something" and never criticised or condemned him as Dwayne did and I'm glad I didn't! He clearly took a while to settle into the EPL, which can't have been easy when he wasn't in the first team, but he has certainly grown into it during Dunk's absence and appears to be happy with the Fab regime. Long may it continue
