Are you really counting the goals against farmers?
Silva scored only 2 goals against real teams, Kalinic 5 (2.5x more) and Cutrone 7 (3.5x more). What are we even discussing here?
I hope to be proven wrong, but I really don't see him becoming anything close to great. He's shown no promise.
I am really confused as how he got so many fanboiz. Unless you are all gay, it makes no sense.
long long ago....in a galaxy far far away....before soccerage, before whoscored, before transfermarkt even before FIFA 96 people believed in the now outdated concept of .....*gasp*....watching football games
And while watching these games, they were able to see things that the people who only read scorelines, check football articles and watch highlights didn't see.
For instance, Andre Silva has the best touch after Suso. He can move well with the ball without losing it. He can beat more than one defender at a time. His passing is good.
These things are hard to pick up if you don't watch the game, that's why he has fans here...because he has both potential and ability.
I agree that if he can't translate the aforementioned into the tangible (goals, assists) then he's a liability, but I don't think he's been given enough of an opportunity to make this assessment from someone who spent the majority of his time in Milan, collecting appearances, as a second half substitute - usually with less than 20 min to do something phenomenal.
2 goals...freakyn 2(two) goals. Get da fuark outta here!
See above.
