He is a different style and type to Juno. I went out on a limb and likened him to Heine Otto on the snippets I have seen and his brief spell at the olympics. He will need time to settle and we need to be patient whilst he adjusts to life on Teesside. It will be a huge culture shock for a young lad over 7000 miles from home.

Ohn Heine Otto, what a player, talk about putting pressure on him coluka, but what a comparison :)
 
I don't get the Otto comparison - I recall him being skillful but very slow - but I do share the optimism and excitement over his signing.

I wouldn't have described Heine as slow, but he wasn't a sprinter. He didn't need to be because he read the game so well. He was an elegant player.
Payero reminds me of David White, (Man City) although Payero plays more centrally.

For me the best player to pull on a Boro shirt but not shown to his best as at the time his football brain was 10 minutes on the field and 20 years ahead of everyone else.

The pressure is on me now not Payero, Erimus74. 🙏
Like I said, based on the snippets I’ve seen. If he turns out a dud I will have to live it down. I can’t wait to see who wins the set piece battles between him and Paddy, He has been the most exciting signing in a while, for me anyway

I agree that Payero seems to have a bit of pace and speed of thought and seems more combative than Heine was. I don’t mean to suggest he is a carbon copy, he isn’t and we won’t really know for sure till he has had a few games anyway. We all know the internet clips are deceiving. I suppose what I am really saying is more to people that refer to juninho he isn’t a playmaker as such, more a number 8, like Heine was, than a number 10.

Thats the nagging concern I have regarding Payero, can some of our more ponderous players cope with his quick thinking. In the olympics it looked like he knew what he was going to be doing with the ball before it even reached him.

This is fair but we saw with Juno and the likes of mustoe and hignett that good players can raise their game with more technical players. The likes of tav McNair watmore are going to love the quick one twos.
 
Heine was a relative modest purchase too - it seemed wrong he was playing in a side that was battling relegation in 2 of his seasons in the old Division 2.

I can see Tav and Watmore being the biggest beneficiaries, his passing was neat, accurate and he always was looking to play a forward pass, something that we have missed for a while
