[Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

[Withdean South Stand]

Agree with the development thing. In the game against Wolves last season just before he got injured, there was a 20 minute period at the start of the second half where he was unplayable, it was like we had prime Phil Foden in our ranks. If he can rediscover that balance he is potentially our best player, agree

His chances created were so good that Solly March scored from them!

I just think it's only pointless when it doesn't go in. The one in the first half wasn't far off, he's obviously scored from further out before. Enciso is the only player we've had in the PL era who actually looks convincing from range

It's what makes him different especially under RDZ when we tried to unsuccessfully walk ball into the net. People also forgetting that performance at Wolves away last season.

You have no romance in your soul.

That's the sort of attitude that picks Seb Coe over Steve Ovett, Steve Davis over Alex Higgins, Bryan Robson over Glenn Hoddle, Stephen Hendry over Jimmy White, Radiohead over the Fall, vanilla ice cream over a knickerbocker glory, marguerita over the speciality pizza, 'Terry and June' over 'The Young Ones', Paul Whiteman over Ornette Coleman, Tin Tin over Asterix, Swapshop over Tiswas, Peter Hitchens over Chirstopher Hitchens and Jim Carey playing Andy Kaufman over Andy Kaufman.

(I'd add the Beatles over the Kinks, but it might be a red rag to a herd of bulls).

Ovett
Higgins
Meh
White
Radiohead, although The Fall were great -- just not the greatest
Meh
Meh
Neither
Ornette
Asterix
Tiswas
CH, although could live without either
Dunno

Both

The thing
that makes Enciso different is that its almost impossible to predict what he is going to do, most (all?) of our other players play to the system he doesn't . For some that is heresy for me it marks him out as potentially a great rather than good player.

The Fall weren't the greatest, they just weren't tedious w*nk.

Some strange takes on here in my opinion. Enciso is working his way back to top form. He's a bit rash and inconsistent but young. Once he sorts that out, I think he has all the tools to be the most valuable player in our entire squad. There's a touch of genius about the lad at times.

This.
Great player, lucky to have him.
That turn last night was something else, majestic. The intake of breath from the crowd says everything. He’s a player that gets you on the edge of your seat.

Of course he makes errors, but he’s young FFS….. when he’s the finished article, he may well be our next £80m + player, but he has some way to go, and I’m pleased it’s with us.

Bloody hell, he's got quite a harsh crowd on here! People describing him as rubbish is utterly unbelievable. Fab obviously thought he was doing ok and kept him on for most of the game. I wonder whether some on here would have binned of Peter Ward!

Excellent post other than the suggestion only young players make mistakes!!

in war the first principle is to assess the situation and then make your own decision... me just now

that turn last night is what you go to see and people will remember from the game - other than that tackle.

So, that's two young gems along with Simon Roberto tried to poach.

Is that not tapping up a player!?

Whose the other young gem?

 

[GT49er]

Never mind f*** off Chelsea, now it's f*** off de Zerbi!

 

[pigmanovich]

Whose the other young gem?

"along with Simon"

At 22, he's still young in my book.

Can’t see TB even taking the call on that one

Considering he spent five months telling us "he's going to talk to Tony" while he was actually at the club, I can't see a world where they had a whole lot of small talk going on once Roberto was sacked.
