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.We need a God . TLF was the last son sent and it's been too long.
Ohn Heine Otto, what a player, talk about putting pressure on him coluka, but what a comparisonHe is a different style and type to Juno.

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.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.
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.Ohn Heine Otto, what a player, talk about putting pressure on him coluka, but what a comparison
The pressure is on me now not Payero, Erimus74.Ohn Heine Otto, what a player, talk about putting pressure on him coluka, but what a comparison
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.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.
6 new signings.... wonder how many more we'll make this week...Registered No965, erimus stats only, which could change depending on incomings & stating v Fulham
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.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.
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.Thats the nagging concern I have regarding Payero, can some of our more ponderous players cope with his quick thinking.

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 whileThis 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.

3, possibly 4, they must be more if he's persuaded Payero to sign6 new signings.... wonder how many more we'll make this week...
