GIVE GIO A GO 'ARRY - FORGET YOUNG

[scotspurs]

IMO WE NEED TO GIVE GIO A CHANCE, NOT PAY OVER THE TOP OR LOSE 2-3 SQUAD PLAYERS FOR ASHLEY YOUNG. WHAT DO YOU RECKON??

I do think he has a part to play this season.

Surely neither Villa or us would swap Jenas, Keane and Bentley for Young, especially with Milner and O'Neill  leaving. Rumours are Gio is going to Fiorentina on loan, I hope this one is purely tabloid speculation when he is playing so well in pre-season, and it looks like he could really add some spark this season, much like Bale did, he has fantastic skill, dribbling and pace, and is very creative for the strikers, he already has 2 assists and 1 goal in the few pre-season games he has played.

Before reading these to comments i was all for dumping Gio and go getting Young.
 
But ive been pondering about Dos Santos and now i really want to see Gio do well here. He was touted to be on of the best in the world before he signed, yes he had since gone off the rails slightly since he moved from Barca but he showed signs of vast improvment before he got crocked last season in the CC. 
 
Since then Gio had very good WC with Mexico and like many have already stated, a good pre-season with us with goals and assists etc. So if he keeps his head down and works hard Harry can't ignore him and won't ignore him, after all Harry likes him a lot too so i now think Gio will get some playing time, if he can continue working hard and developing, this time next season we could be talking about Gio Dos Santos in the same kind of way we have been talking about Gareth Bale AND THAT EXCITES MEEEE 
 
He could be like a new signing if/when he begins to sparkle.
 
COYS!!

I agree - Giovani dos Santos was surprisingly bright at the World Cup and Harry has said that he'd give him a chance to prove himself - to pass the nightclubs as well as he can pass the ball (Harry's words). Gio is versatile, he can play on both flanks, behind the striker as well as up front. Yes, Young might be more experienced but why should we swap two or three squad players for one player whose equivalent we already have?

Bentley covered well for Lennon last season, Keane has been prolific during the pre-season and whether people rate Jenas or not, Harry will play him. We have a league, Champions League (hopefully) and two cup competitions ahead of us so swapping many players for one (who has a considerable record with injuries) would seem like putting all eggs in one basket.

All in all - the club should keep Bentley, Jenas and Keane and give Giovani dos Santos a chance to shine. At the moment we don't need Young.

NONE TAKEN - I mean none taken !!!

Agree with previous posts. Gio looked sharp in preseason - 'arry has been talking him up as well so he may get a chance this season.

[sj7272]

He's definately got something. Depending on his behaviour in other areas, put him in or sell him

[bigv]

Didnt see much from him against young boys to warrant a place on the right ,left or up front for that matter. No better thatn we already have in Lennon, Bale etc.

Gio just disappoints every time i see him aparts from meaningless games
