Looks like he is up for a fight. Maybe the steel we need for the second half of the season ?

Certainly looks like he has some fight in him with the red cards he gets now and again. I think we could do without a striker that has a semi poor conduct record 3 already this season twice again Aberdeen and once in the Europa league. Also 13 yellows he has missed quite a few games we need someone that’s going to be available every match from now until the end of the season. But you can’t knock his scoring record and work rate when he does play. Edited by NI_palace_fan (01 Jan 2019 10.59pm) Edited by NI_palace_fan (01 Jan 2019 11.01pm)

In my book, that's a good thing. Colombians are usually fighters, that's why I was very suprised about what Skinii said above. Also, he has had so many yellow cards because he's been in 4 cmpetitions this year (Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup, Europa League and 8 matches in the Europa League preliminaries), totaling more than 35 matches in 3 months. Many of his yellow cards for tackles would go unpunished in the English refereeing system (especially those from the European competitions). I am not sure it is.

Spot on Gloryhunter. Couldn't have put it better. Added to which his goals sored: chances ratio is poor and we don't need another striker who cant finish.

For the record I'm a Palace fan and he is still a dirty wee sh*te! My brothers-in-law are Rangers fans and even they think he is a dirty wee sh*te.

Will this be the 1st HOL mud slinging, name calling, political, hatefest of 2019?
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Rangers fans would think that of the striker who scored them 40 goals in 80 matches by the age of 22?? Even if he were a cheater, I think his own fans would defend him Edited by mattteo (02 Jan 2019 12.03pm)

Even if he were a cheater, I think his own fans would defend him Matteo - this guy makes "bite me" Suarez look like a choirboy. Believe me he is a poisoned dwarf. Yes he scores goals but his conversion/chances ratio is abysmal.There are quite a few poor defences up here and he is given a lot of chances which he wouldn't get in the EPL and that makes his tally look better than it should. This is all IMO of course but believe me I am not alone. He is probably at this moment the most despised player in Scottish football and we can't all be wrong.

I watched him against Celtic the other day, and even though he didn't score, he absolutely bullied/rag dolled the Celtic defence for 90 minutes - he made a Belgian international defender look like he had never seen a football in his life. He is a quality player, and whether you dislike him or not he will move on to much bigger things than Scotland in his career. [Tweet Link]
P.S. doesn't every supporter love to have a player of their own who is despised by the opposition fans? A touch of Diego Costa about him in that regards. Edited by Fabi05 (02 Jan 2019 2.02pm) Edited by Fabi05 (02 Jan 2019 2.10pm)
