...or a reporter from Switzerland that watched him the whole season said he's lightweight and can't believe a club has paid £4m for him. I'd like to believe that the YouTube videos are a true reflection

If true that's just typical lazy journalism, the whole "lightweight" argument is pathetic really....or a reporter from Switzerland that watched him the whole season said he's lightweight and can't believe a club has paid £4m for him. I'd like to believe that the YouTube videos are a true reflection

Looks like he's built like a brick sh!thouse so not sure I buy the lightweight view. Let's see, but he looks anything but lightweight.

We won’t know until he signs and plays against a Championship defense. Alves looked unplayable in his YouTube clip video, and was unpickable at times once he got here.

The journalist might just mean Latte Lath can't hold his beer and prefers a nice milky coffee?

Will need some time to settle in, but will have chances. We were abject against Cov and still managed to make three very presentable chances.
If he's half the player Archer is he'll score plenty.

I love the guy, but looking at Matt Crooks you’d think he’d be a beast in the air, but in reality he wins few of his aerial duals

Beware YouTube reels......
BUT.
As I've mentioned previous, he looks like the type of player who will suit our system. Rogers is an appalling finisher, but Latte looks like he can get on the end of things. An instinct as to where the ball is going to be.
He looks pretty composed too - taking touches, setting himself rather than just swinging a leg at the ball.
Critical he's a player identified to suit our system rather than just buying any old striker. We will see.

Maybe a lightweight version of Haaland? His YouTube clips does demonstrate that he's not afraid to terrorise defenders in the box.
I just hope he can make the transition to championship level.
I'm very excited to see him in action.

The club will have had him watched many times and researched his character before splashing the cash. It’s probably the reporter who is lightweight...or a reporter from Switzerland that watched him the whole season said he's lightweight and can't believe a club has paid £4m for him. I'd like to believe that the YouTube videos are a true reflection

I’ve heard mixed reports on him. Swiss fans seem to think he’s great, a really useful and powerful forward player, Italian fans seem to think he’s a bit of a wasted talent and someone who has flattered to deceive on a domestic level. Suppose we won’t know until he comes through the door, but obviously let’s get behind him as we would any other player.Looks like he could score 20+ goals in our team, if he signs. Two footed, good in the air. Quick and strong.
I don't get it either. That run against Coventry was excellent, I'd argue he lost composure rather than his finishing being awful. Wish Boro fans wouldn't get on his back, he was out bright spark along side Silvera

Just seen this reported online. A special offer on an Emmi Latte. Sounds like he's coming!
