RUSSEL85 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just hope if do sign this youngster from Chelsea he isnt abused for not being as good as Tammy, if that happens to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpexile Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Gustav Engvall has gone from a Bristol City outcast to the Swedish top flight's joint top goalscorer in just a few months. Funny how things work out when given a chance, well done Gustav . http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gustav-engvall-gone-bristol-city-48455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 he certainly looks like a natural goalscorer and maybe worth the big money we spent on him. I wonder how he would feel about coming back here, if Djurgarden qualify for Europe. I assume its one in the CL and one in Europa in Sweden?

tomhbcfc Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 He'll bang in the goals next season - Swedish top flight isn't too bad of a league. Hat trick at the weekend a good sign for us. Just hoping we resist the urge to sell if Djurgardens make an offer for him. Think he's definitely a better option than Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Personally and I hope I am wrong here, I don't think he will play another game for us. I have watched him in the shooting drills, when he was involved in the squad, and he was less than average to say the least. That and what a couple of posters, who would be ITK, said a couple of months ago I cannot see him making it in the Championship. I so hope I am wrong, as to succeed we need to find some gems from the European leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of eye rolling and shuffling of feet during the love in for Tammy. Mainly the younger players. The more senior players seemed pleased for him.

Davefevs Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks for the links @simon uk. Ive always believed in him / his ability for the little evidence I've seen. He looks better than a 'competition winner' imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the pace, touch and seems to now know where the back of the net is. Was impressed with his work rate in the hull game. Did not stop running. I think after this loan and the under 21 euros, we should get him out on loan to a league one side till January. A side who's manager intends to use him as a lone striker. That will be a good test to see how close he is to being a championship player. Good shout that. Definitely needs a bit of muscle on him but after that who knows.

cityloyal473 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 He could well be the goalscoring forward we are looking for. However, I don't believe we'll ever see him in a city shirt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I would love to know how Gustav feels this year has gone.... Does he understand it takes time to adapt, hungry to come back to the English Championship and fight for a place OR annoyed he wasn't given a chance, wants to prove himself and leave? From what I see, he has been very quiet about it all... Maybe I've missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal's the same size in Sweden as it is here, and if he can play in the Champion's League he can play in the Championship for sure! You can't underestimate the effect of "Mr Demotivator" at our club. GE was probably pissed off as hell with not being given a proper chance and his brief cameos came as we were starting to nosedive and in those games even those who would look strong performers later, could hardly string a pass together. Also remember that one of the ITK's who posted about Engvall had his own agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say the same about him yet people are willing to give him a chance, might be due to comedy value but I don't think Taylor is any better and Engvall has time to improve. 2 things , confidence and opportunity . He's getting the former by scoring, we'll have to wait and see if he get's the opportunity next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he has any love for the club he's played hardly any games, been dumped into the reserves / U23's, told he is not up to Championship level at the moment by the club and then had his loan move to Sweden cancelled twice (both times he was already out their training with them) before the third time it went through - even though no matter how many injuries we had it was obvious he would be the last player to make the team sheet.

Sure that's why we conceded 66 goals in 46 games - rock solid defence that gives opposition strikers no chances. He creates space, runs onto through balls, has a eye for the goal and can hold of players - those things don't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you shoot against better keepers, you score less. Have you seen the defending for 2/3 of those goals? I winced. You don't have defenders kicking the ball against each other 4 yards out when playing solid Championship teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
