Fernando Adi

Post by Cally »

This dude continues to score goals consistently for the Portland Timbers. I watched his interview yesterday and was quite impressed with his delivery and ability to engage his audience. He's quite a smart guy. For me, I don't think an EPL team would be doing much wrong by giving this dude a chance. He has the build, energy, stamina, and brains to hack it in the EPL. Dude also knows where the goal is, as exemplified by his second goal against FC Dallas last night.

I know he's been called to the SE once before, but didn't make much of an impression, but I think he deserves another shot at some point. He's quite a solid ambassador for Nigeria in the MLS.

A perfect target man we lack, has the physical presence and instinct we currently lack and Nacho isn't just it as a target man, another player I hope we get is Tammy Abraham...not sure what the latest is on the lad.

At the best he's an extra body. Not sure he provides a different dimension from what we already have. None of the players we have now including his guy is special enough to make an immediate impact in the team. They will take time so we have to be patient instead of regularly shuffling the pack and thus setting us back. Unless a player is extra special on the scale of a super star game changer (which Adi clearly isn't) I wouldn't change the striking options we already have. We must need to be patient and allow them come good.

As good as he is, he might as well be playing in China or NPFL.

Rohr doesn't do players from such leagues.

Nothing wrong with adding him to the pool of options being given the opportunities presently.
