Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

Jesus is a horrible finisher, I think he even said it himself.

Is he really that bad?? i have only watched him in Cl and he was good there

Edit: topscorer in cl so far with a few other players

So I really like this kids attitude, workrate, finishing and movement.

But my gut tells me after Raphinha, Ferran and the likes, it is absolutely imperative to the way Barcelona play to have top level technique, couple with the modern demands of good physical traits (hi Joe Felix).

This guy doesn't have that.

Wrote that last night and it has been in my draft. That's my big concern about this signing.

If we were Madrid however, or a faster transition team, I would bet on this guy finding the right positions and getting on the end of goals.

 

[Andresito]

Is it wrong to compare him to a hybrid of Agüero/Suárez minus the close control/technique?

 

[Co0ter]

Jesus has been massive for Arsenal and that's ontop of injury after injury. He comes back and just starts scoring immediately each time. We'd be lucky to have him compared to what we got. Then again, Xaviball would make anyone look awful honestly.

The thought of giving Xavi any more money to waste on transfers just makes me sad.

He underperformed his xG by good margin afaik

 

[Messi983]

To be fair, Roque is Deco's signing so while Xavi is responsible to get the best out of him I won't directly blame him if Roque flops like we could do with Lewy, Raphinha and Ferran who were all handpicked by Xavi.

 

[soul24rage]

The $$$ from the match vs Club America should be enough to register Roque in January.

Would be great for him to be integrated with the team and hopefully hit the ground running next season. Any good contribution that he makes this season is a bonus for me.

 

[Andresito]

First target should be to equal Lewy's tally of 9 goals.
Understandably will be hard given he probably won't be playing regularly together with adapting to a new country and football (queue Xavi haramball jokes).

But 9 goals in half a season isn't much for a CF in a team that creates lots of chances.

For those who are familiar with this player, how would you rate his current level and maximum potential that he could hit ?

From what I’ve seen (highlights mainly) he doesn’t exactly hit me as a great player in the making. Looks like a decent finisher, but I don’t see any quality that makes him special. I’d say that to me he looks like a Brazilian Depay at best but again I really don’t know that player at all.

Please share your thoughts.

Best case: Suarez.
Worst case: Depay.

Depending on how well he uses his body and if he can dominate CBs physically.

 

[Gnidrologist]

No way this guy can get even two classes bellow Suarez. Younger Depay would be very very good although he seems to be lacking at dribbling, but has more aggressive, direct approach in the box, can poach well. More like less bulky Hulk.

 

[mc_lovin]

Pretty confident he will be far better than Depay. He’s easily the better athlete by the looks of it. Runs nonstop.

 

[YodaMaster]

Yeah I also don’t see this guy ever getting close to what a prime Suarez was. Don’t forget that 2010-2016 Suarez was the greatest striker we’ve seen since R9.

Roque is very young but what are his qualities ? Very good finisher for his age from what I’ve seen, but that’s about it. I’d be happy if he proves me wrong, but that Endrick kid looks much more talented and with a much higher ceiling.

 

[Messigician]

comparing him to Suarez fkn hell

Get a grip

He would beat Messi and Ronaldo to the golden boot with 0 penalties scored
