Michail Antonio

Reports he's on his way in (£7M bid accepted). Looks a bit of a star

Antonio

Looks like he'd be handy to waste a few minutes at the end of a game too

Nice ball retention


A mixed view of him from a Forest fan:-

"Antonio is big, fast and very direct. He's an excellent finisher and really good in the air.

On the downside, he's incredibly raw. Sometimes his control is laughable and his main "knock it past the defender and then beat him for pace and strength" tactic will be less effective in the Premier League. For a winger he can't really play on the touchline and his crossing is no better than OK.

I'd see him as less of an orthodox winger and more of a wide forward, I think he has what it takes to be successful in the right team and I think West Ham is probably a good spot for him - he's a local boy for you (I think he's from Stratford) and he's not a player who goes missing even when he's not having a great game, so I think the crowd will like him."

Re: Michail Antonio

Could have got him for a couple of million a few years back.

Need to identify these players earlier.

Like Baldock or Maynard?

Hopefully more proven now.

Re: Michail Antonio

Like the look of him but why haven't the so called big clubs came sniffing around?

Piss Flaps. He's a step up from Marlon. And a dammed sight improvement on Jarvis.!

Trevor, indeed

Far Cough 4:23 Mon Aug 31
Re: Michail Antonio

Thanks Alan.

Re: Michail Antonio

Haven't seen him for a while, but the player I'd compare him to is Bolasie - lots of running and skill, but a bit erratic.

Far Cough 4:25 Mon Aug 31
Re: Michail Antonio

You must have seen a lot of him to conclude he's a bit erratic because that clip doesn't show it

Re: Michail Antonio

Can give the ball a good wallop. Looks 2 footed also.

I like that.

Marlon was bloody great for Forest when he played against us at Upton Park
