Never heard of him. Just thought you’d like to know.
Raul De Tomas
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
Never seen him but his profile sounds like another attacker who wants the ball to fecking feet rather than intense runs in behind.Wow. He's tailor made for United then.
At least none of the other three letter acronym players actually put it on their shirt...
A picture of him pointing. Photo confirmation that this is a man who doesn't pressAt least none of the other three letter acronym players actually put it on their shirt...
Nah, it's worth reading the breaking the lines article. He is a very good all round striker, I'd put him more of a poacher type than a ball to feet striker, but he's more than capable of linking up the play.
By the way, the pressing percentile should be ignored on the basis of how Espanyol play.
Exactly the sort of player we need right now. He plays with speed and intensity that you'd like to see rub off on the oafs playing for us currently.
This percentile shite is nearly as dorky and tedious as xG.
If it means we get rid of that miserable shit we've currently got upfront then I'm up for it.
Does he run in behind? Run channels? Move? I’ll have tears in my eyes if he does - I’m a simple man
This transfer is taking forever to get completed.
Seem out of step stylistically with the other CFs we've been linked with. Nunez, Sesko, Arnautovic and that Sasa guy are all bigger, more physical type strikers.
He's going somewhere according to what was reported yesterday in the tweet below.
Sounds like the sort of striker Swansea would be after
For the record I think this is absolute bobbins and we won’t sign him, but I hope I’m wrong.
Michu
Have you watched his Ajax? Ball to feet, possession, getting the runners from midfield involved. He doesn’t play the fast on the counter attack Ole favourites
Vardy?
My cat eats ham
so maybe a guy like Vardy who arrives late to the scene, maybe one accustomed to grafting and appreciating struggle and hard work.
He is a good player mid table CF and a well rounded n°9 but you can find many other strikers that are used to boss the league in Championship and suffer a lot when they are faced with the pace and physicality of the EPL and I feel that would be the case if RDT and also because he looks like it is not the best at mingling with a different country and lifestyle.
For example, thinking of a similar striker, he is in my opinion worse than Soldado, slightly more technical, but less of a player, and we all remember that Soldado's England adventure wasn't very productive.

Me neither, but i'm sure Luckyscout has a report on him somewhere
Anybody else getting Raul Tamudo vibes with this guy?
Looks like "ROT". He'll fit right in.At least none of the other three letter acronym players actually put it on their shirt...
Only if his name is spelt P-A-T-R-I-C-K S-H-I-K
“Things might be happening“
I’ve followed Raul de Tomas ever since he broke through our youth squad. He’d be my first choice as backup to Benzema over all the jokers we’ve purchased. Good finisher, physically strong, holds the ball up well, good movement between defenders and a safe short passer. He’s not particularly fast but he won’t be called slow either.
If he had Morata’s agent, you’d hear a lot more about him.
Very shrewd signing if you can do it. Would still have him as first choice backup to Benzema.

I think we are just linked with him now, then we need to declare our interest and then determine to sign him.... all before actually making an actual fecking bid.
Well the chances of that are 1 in a million but sure
Vardy was non league and was a ‘hidden gem‘ this guy spent most of his time in B teams he would have been known.
meh either way
No, more the fact he’s 27, nobody’s heard of him and coming off a rarely productive season!
Sorry just checked and he was prolific the season before too
I'm sold let's do this
That profile of player does sound like a good option to rotate with Martial for the kind of football we'd be wanting to play.
But yeah, if I had Morata's agent, I'm pretty confident I'd be playing in either La Liga or Serie A as well.
Kante came from the 2nd division in France
Or a cheap deal for a club who are fecking desperate? I know which one of those 2 scenarios I’m going with.
Bottom 5% for pressing? Sounds like a significant improvement on our strikers.
He does! Whether any one passes to him and he becomes completely dejected within the first 3 games and turns into a zombie like the rest of our attack, well that's still up for debate...Does he run in behind? Run channels? Move? I’ll have tears in my eyes if he does - I’m a simple man
Cheap? Intelligent recruitment can be just that. It prob means investing a shed load behind the scenes in great individuals and networks. We got cantona at that time for a cheap price. Circumstances with certain players can throw up possibilities. I don’t know this individual player and only recruiting players I’ve heard about suggests a poor transfer team to me. Others who have followed him seem to recognise a good option for us. We’ve thrown a billion quid at not cheap players.
All his goals last year.
I want to WUM but he actually looks pretty impressive.
