bt50 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Nabbout is a better player than both when fit. Keep him away from one of our major sponsors and he'd be a great get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Chuffed all round. We've already signed Brilliante's replacement anyway, and Nabbout for Noone would be good business in my book. Absolutely delighted, just bloody delighted about Atko.

citymad Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I am ok if it is Nabbout. Like others have said he will not take a visa spot, he knows the league, has some good attributes, although he seems to be a confidence player so I am not sure paddy will get the best out of him because paddy has to be the alpha and that shoots others confidence down.

rass Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Will Nabbout complement our style though? I see him more of a central type of forward and we already have Maclaren. I know victory played him out wide last season quite often, but whenever i saw him, it seemed to me he would naturally gravitate more centrally and not stay as wide as he probably should have. Just my thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know victory played him out wide last season quite often, but whenever i saw him, it seemed to me he would naturally gravitate more centrally and not stay as wide as he probably should have. Just my thoughts... Ive always viewed him as a winger that can play centrally. Imo a player of his calibre, a quick powerful player that can cross and shoot is the perfect A League winger. Hes such a goal scoring threat that the defence have to put time into him and consequently the striker gets that bit more time and space. Also gives a heap more space to the other winger. Id argue we have only ever had one winger like that ever, being Novillo. Leroy George is arguably one of the best the league has seen on the wing and was also similar. The other terrific thing about him, as you say is that he can play central. Thats almost the perfect insurance policy if Jmac is injured or in international duty. Most important thing for Nabbout is to get fit again imo but might be a bit easier to be and stay motivated at a contending club than one loitering at the foot of the table 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 One thing about Nabbout is that he is a more lively player than Noone. On paper you would think Craig has the edge but seeing them both play I can see a fit Nabbout contribute more in more like Sterling role. No point comparing him to Wales 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point comparing him to Wales I think Noone was probably more of a crosser and assister whereas Nabbout is an out and out goal scoring winger. Tends to have more impact in this league, perhaps due to the finishing ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Andrew was notorious for missing the most easy chances, with the occasional worldie. He needs fitness and confidence back.
