Title: Sony Aluko
Post by: sunburywhite on August 06, 2016, 07:52:15 AM
Thought he was magnificent in first half but seemed to drift out of the game in the second half but looks one hell of a player

Is it me or does he remind you of Mahamadou Diarra in the way he plays

Not sure about the second point - Aluko has the edge in terms of pace - but agree with your overall assessment.  A great find - and all for free!

If we had paid £8m for him, would some people be happier... Just a thought.   Great pick up, esp for the crazy price.  Well done Rigg.

He was out of contract because he's not a great finisher.

He was fantastic I thought - looked like he tired a little in the second half but its understandable given how much effort he put in first half.

No idea hat you are on with your second point though
Diarra was a strong defensive midfielder and Aluko is an attacking, pacey forward who appears to be a great dribbler. Two completely different type of players
