Latte Lath is a 20 goals a season striker

I think he's excellent. Not seen an initial impact from any other new strike in years like he's had. OK he does miss a few one on ones but it's his movement and pace that gets him there. With a bit more quality behind him hopefully next season I think he could reach the 20+ a season mark. Over to you kieran Scott.
 
He won’t get anywhere near 20 goals because he won’t be our main striker next season.

Best striker we have by a mile.

The question is can he stay fit? If so he’s shown he can score in this league with average supply. If he stays fit and if we improve there’s every reason to think he could get a lot of goals.

If he gets another few in the game alert then he’s down very well in his first season even without counting his injuries
 
Considering it’s his first season and if he played every remaining game he will only have started 23 games or half a season is 10 league goals a success?
 
His first goal away at Leeds told me that there is a really good striker in there, just needs rub of the green with injuries.

I presume you mean permanent striker because Archer did very well last season.


I am still on the fence with him. A lot of his shots looks like he hasn't hit it cleanly but they are going in so I can't tell if he's finishing well, and deliberately, or he's getting lucky.

His pace means he gets chances so he doesn't have to be as clinical as someone that struggles for chances to score as many goals.

I know what you mean about it's he good or is he lucky.

What I would say is I think you do him a deservice suggesting he doesn't need to be as clinical because he creates more chances with his pace.

He exceeds his xg regularly and finished chances that are easier to miss regularly.

His 1 on 1's always look dodgy to me though.

No, I'm not criticising him for that. It was a positive if anything. I wasn't making a judgement on him but on players like him in general. I'm saying he gets more chances so he doesn't have to be as clinical as someone that only gets 1 or 2 chances. If he is as clinical and he scores the same percentage of his chances as someone that gets fewer chances then he will score more goals.
 
In the right team i think he could be. He has the pace to stretch teams and force them deeper. Be interesting if we could get a first choice eleven on the pitch, with Mcgree/Azaz/Jones behind him with HH/O'Brien in midfield. Think he would do well in that set up.

He has some flaws in his technique, that's for sure and they may or may not be ironed out.

When you do FA courses, they ask you to look at the 4 quadrants when looking at players, not just how 'skillful' is he.

Technical / Tactical - He's probably a 7 here, he has good movement and knowledge to know where to be and when to be there, that shows a top tactical awareness, on a technical perspective, his first touch technique isn't the best, and he can appear clumsy with his touch.

Physical - probably an 8.5 here, great pace, strong for his size, balance is ok, fitness levels are very good

Social - who knows but there are no rumours of him being a party animal, I guess he could do with quitting the vaping though

Psychological - seems to show for the ball and keep trying even when he's having a poor day.

All in all, he's value for money, could easily be worth 2 or 3 times what we paid if he has a full season and gets 20+ goals.

Can’t see it happening, the Chile coach has basically outed him on attitude. Chilean mother but never learned Spanish. Been playing for Chile for 2 years, never learned Spanish. Moved to Spain, didn’t learn any Spanish. Definite question marks on application.
 
He reminds me more of Hamilton Ricard than anyone, looks a real confidence player, at times ungainly, just as capable of an air shot as a world class strike, spends a lot of time looking like a headless chicken and then scores an amazing goal. He's certainly an entertaining watch.

Reminds me of Leroy Lita but with a working knowledge of the offside rule.
