Like I said I didn’t watch it properly but it didn’t look like that to me. It looked like that the other couple of times I’ve seen him play. Maybe, it’s just a bit of a lazy assessment by many ? People have already made their minds up it seems. Some won’t change that if he bags 20 !! Just to clarify , would I have re-signed him on what I’d witnessed ? (very little) No I definitely wouldn’t. But like it or not he’s our player. Get behind the fella and he may just start to show why he’s played in La Liga. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game time for players who won't be getting much. 3 points in a potential money earning tournament. One more win from the remaining two games should see us through. Iacovitti getting a game is probably bad news for him, funnily. I expect, barring any superb performances this evening, the plan was for nearly everyone who played tonight to miss out on Saturday,. Except Ash Smith-Brown, who LB will have wanted to see in action, and probs Sylla. I think Mills will revert to right back as we hopefully go more attacking against Crewe. What about Hamer, probably our best player tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign of a good player that can keep forcing himself into the first team again and again, even as a teenager. My first guess is that they'll often play together on the right flank in away games, and scrap over who gets to start in home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 6 goals in 20 games for Cluj as Romanian Champions, and the fact he could have been playing Celtic tonight is massively more relevant.

maddog Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thought today’s performance was much much better than I’ve seen / heard since the start pre-season. Some promising signings, and a deserved win....although Liverpool were shocking at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with it. He hadn't of run their defenders ragged for 75 minutes, they wouldn't have been as tired and could have stopped the winner .. all if's and but's.

simplythemostimportantkick Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Is it just me or is that Fage fella faster than the speed of light ? There was a bit where he was chasing down their defenders where he covered basically the whole of their half and kept up with the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Tom Hamer... It's easy to forget how young he is. Yes a good chunk of then have come at a lower level, but he's played twice as many games as Tarky had at the same age. Thinking about it, he shouldn't be wasted on the bench too much. Could easily be his last season with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he showed intelligence and some good touches, albeit with not much pace. Perhaps the plan is to use him as a link up with goals hopefully from the three behind him. Could well be proved wrong but hope I’m right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you haters will pretend you always rated him. I think he’s lacking in confidence. I only semi-watched tbh, but I definitely saw some nice touches and link up. He was also chasing down defenders lots and put in a good shift. I really hope I’m right anyway. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say Vera is absolute dog shite, I think he's lacking in ability as well as desire. I really hope I'm wrong anyway.

Ritchierich Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Of course Vera shows some good touches, he’s played at a higher level over the years but he is now so slow and cumbersome .....he cant win a ball in the air because he can’t jump, can’t hold the ball up because he’s not fit enough and can’t beat anyone for pace because he doesn’t have any. He may have been a decent player some years ago but this is 2019 in the English 4th tier and he isn’t good enough, even for a team as poor as Oldham.

He has surely the biggest pair of shorts seen on a Latics player since the 1914/15 Div 1 runners-up team.

His La Liga is irrelevant, but his Romanian Champions experience is far more relevant and what he can aspire to and that he could have been playing in Champions League is a good thing, I concede a negative note though.
