Re: Divock Origi

I'm not going to project either way, but he seems to have the athleticism and talent to become a great player. Whether or not he gets there is another thing. He's been very good in each of the viewings I've had so I wouldn't be upset if Liverpool bought him.

3/10 from Gil. Usually, when he really wants to hype a player, he gives us (me) a proper youtube link to highlight his skills, better adjectives to describe the player and possibly a negative shout out to Mole since he always discredits Gil (not always).

As an avid boyhood Lille fan who's watched every game of theirs since 1991 I can tell you he is legit

Pls go

Just 19. Unbelievable.

my main man gil knows where those talents are at.Really impressed by him, He is extremely fast for a player of that posture. Good ball skills and know how to make runs behind the defence, not bad link up play. If we are selling Morata then Origi will be an ideal replacement.

I'm sure you guys watch Lille games all the time and have followed him closely.. right?

The hype is off of more than the just one game. He's been balling in each appearance this WC.

I want him at Arsenal just because I want to hear the announcer say his name every time he's on the ball.

true. I apologize, the hype is off of one game and two sub appearances.

AND his name tbh. :coffee:

a great name it is Laughing

New David N'Gog ffs. :coffee:

by Mr Nick09 Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:16 pm

he reminds me more of welbeck tbh

by McAgger Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:16 pm

Actually reminds me of Zaha. Very similar style. Except one is a winger the other a forward.

by Busby Babe Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:57 pm

Reminds me of Welbeck too

by DeletedUser#1 Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:59 pm

The only similarities he has with welbeck is his skin colour.

He's already scored more WC goals at age of 19 than Welbeck will ever score.

by Gil Wed Jul 02, 2014 9:14 pm

He plays nothing like Welbeck or Zaha. His upfront running style and ball skills are more reminiscent of Nicolas Anelka. His decision making is also superior than the former two and he's significantly quicer & more physically gifted than both.

His only weakness is his finishing. That could be due to him never being used as a pure #9 until recently but neither were RVP, Ronaldo or Henry. It could improve with maturity.

by Mr Nick09 Wed Jul 02, 2014 9:23 pm

Well, you guys would know better than me so i cant argue. But as far as watching a young talent for so little and evaluating his potential he looks class. His decision making and first touch is outstanding, and even scarier when you think he can turn and run past you. And he is doing it in world cup...

I wish Hazard was playing with the same level of confidence.

by Gil Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:50 pm

Hazard is playing just fine. He's just missing a goal.

by Mr Nick09 Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:03 pm

no mate, for the way you rave about him, he is playing shite.

by Gil Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:18 pm

No shite is Di Maria, Ronaldo, Modric etc. His general play is fantastic as usual and he's creating lots of chances for his teammates.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:27 pm

Hazard was really poor. De Bruyne kept Belgium going, and Origi indeed had some stunning moves.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:28 pm

Hazard's performance was much like Özil's for us, to put it better.

by Adit Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:30 pm

Hazard ghosted... i dont know whats his problem is.. he was fantastic at the beginning with some amazing passes then disappeared and as usual Mertens became their best/most important player.
