Mark Gonzalez

[Guest Momo Sissoko]

...on SS2 at the moment playing against Barca, just beat two men with great skill and hit a shot from thirty yards that hit the post and nearly went in off the keeper.

 

The boy looks class.

Yeah this lad looks real class and that run and shot was awesome 8)

[RED Tezza]

i switch over to have a bit of a look and the lad gets subbed.

[gruggs]

Who saw Gonzalez lads?

 

What did you think?

 

I've heard mixed reports.

[Sangria]

We have to remember that he is only back after serious injury. One good thing that the pace is still there. May sound strange but if you are going to have a bad injury it is better to have it young - if you get what I mean.

[diaspora]

Also like the work that he put in. He trcaked back well om a number of ocassions especially giving Oleguer (?) a start winning the ball and then causing Oleguer to chop him down. No yellow card but should have been. When subbed it was noted the hard work that he had put in. Looks a good buy that will be better for the pre season

[Guest Redfemme]

Thought he played well first half. Looked lively, caused problems. Showed he had some pace when he surged forward, and took the shot that hit the post.

 

Felt he was under used in the second half, hence he got subbed.

 

Over all, I'm impressed with the lad. Had a decent game last week too.

[Dermot]

Seen him play tonight for the second time this season, and I think that he has stood out in a struggling side, he has great pace, which is something that we lack, and a fantastic shot on him.

Rough Diamond

 

put him in the Garcia class but with Rafa polishing who knows but has more potential to change than Garcia has

[Seemann]

Garcia is shit, but Gonzalez got every chance to become a good player and not just someone who scores a goal once in a while. Liked his movement yesterday and he got some skill with the ball as well. Great stuff when he hit the woodwork.

 

He seems to be a little terrier and put in a good fight. Noticed he took some setpieces and I especially liked his corners.

 

Rough diamond, but defo useable

[lifetime fan]

He is far from the finished article as others have pointed out but has great potential. The thing that was obvious to me was that he's a 'Rafa type player'. The effort and tracking back he put in impressed me.

[El Rojo]

Garcia is shit

 

I suppose that's why he made the UEFA Champions League team of the year and recently scored a hat-trick for Spain...

He´s not good enough. Useable in europe, but crap in the domestic games.

 

I like his goals, but I don´t think he offers anything else that`s beneficial to the team.

 

I think he has been very dissapointing this season, maybe not shit, but defo not good enough and that´s why he´s benched most games.

 

I won`t cry if he`s moved on this summer.

 

Sorry, but that`s just how I feel

What?

[CWD82]

I love the look of Gonzalez. Very direct and a bundle of energy, I love the pace at which he does everything he looks like he'll be a nightmare to defend against. The game against Barca was a hard test for him. Barca had about 70% possession and he hardly had the ball. Despite that he produced alot of Sociedads best moments I thought. Should give great competition for the left wing.

 

As for Garcia, he's frustrating but there is no way you get rid of a player who can settle matches on his own without a big fee being involved. He's got about 1 goals every 2 starts this season which is a great return for a striker. When you keep it as tight at the back as we do then a player who can get on the end of rebounds or make a goal out of nothing is invaluable. He's done brilliant of the bench this season despite being injured for the majority or carrying niggles. I hope he's in the squad next season

[Seemann]

I`m not saying that we should sell him, but I won`t have a problem if we do. I think he can be replaced and if we`re going to buy a couple of players that can play in his positions he`ll have to improve.

 

As I saud, he scores important goals, but if you take that away then he`s very dissapointing. He is not a winger as he lack real pace and he doesn`t seem to make any crosses and where`s the assists?

 

Recently Rafa said he had to work harder and get in to shape again. If he was really pleased about his performances he would play more.

 

I´m just not that impressed, but he`s is a joker and that sometimes safes the day.

 

In the end it all comes down to the fact that we need to improve as a team. He`s part of our attacking options and they haven`t been impressive (again) this season.

Mark González turned the wrist

On the other hand, the Chilean midfield player Mark González underwent Saturday a torsion in the right wrist. That yes, this Monday trained with normality since in the radiográfica exploration that practiced to him not they appreciate fractures. However, one is going away to him to make a magnetic resonance to verify the state of ligaments and capsule to articulate, since it presents/displays a very painful inflammation that requires immobilization with bandage or muñequera. In any case, it does not seem that it is going to have problems to play in the Reyno of Navarre.
