(25) Emmanuel Dennis

No-one take his seat on the Team Bus and we'll be OK

Not the greatest of sources but apparently we're trying to loan him out already after being unhappy with his performances and his addiction to social media.

 

Gino's done it again! They never do bad business.

 

You couldn’t make it up

 

That is mental, if true.

I look forward to people defending it and saying he needs to gain experience or something.

 

Am I misreading? Where does it say we are looking to loan him out?

 

Another instance of Mogi, Scott and Gino having the interests of our club at heart.

 

It doesn't. It says the club aren't happy with him so far (which may or may not be true), but only mentions loaning out TDB & Success.

 

It doesn't !
But it does say the club are unhappy with his performances and addiction to social media. Never understood anyone living their life on social media

 

Surely WFC Forums classifies as 'anti-social media'?

 

Well I'm shocked, absolutely shocked.

 

Can’t see this being true whatsoever. He was one of our best players against Arsenal in pre-season and he was involved with our goal from his pace/press. Not only that, he tracked back relentlessly and stopped multiple Arsenal attacks by getting back, blocking the ball, making a tackle etc.

Obviously that’s only one game out of many, but confident this is just made up BS.

Don’t follow him on social media, but who really gives a rip about how much time footballers spend on it. Literally feels like the media outlet just completely made that up.

Fully expect Dennis to be involved in the first team. We need his pace, even if it’s off the bench.

 

It's probably not. But has all the hallmarks that it could be.

A bit like we all laughed at the story that the players all hated Ivic after 2 days of training which ended up being accurate.

 

Oops, it was me that mis-read.

 

And yet, they likely did

 

This guy turning out to be good is pretty much our only hope this season.

 

Surely nonsense given that the club tolerate Foster’s antics?

 

Spot on, as per.

Surprised he didn't pass up that chance to check his Snapchat

 

Hope the injury isn't too bad. He looked really dangerous.

 

What most impressed was his work off the ball

 

Absolutely. He was all over TikTok and popped up with a lovely Twitter Fleet just after half time. Loves the socials does old Dennis.

 

Well Crystal Palace Emmanuel Dennis was a bit different to this one, what a performance!

 

Hopefully he'll go on a goalscoring streak as long as his Snapchat streak!

 

In the Rookery, I, along with the people next to me, were surprised to hear it was Dennis who scored because we'd seen him win the ball near the halfway line not long before! Just like what I've said about Etebo, I think Dennis wants to be here playing in the Premier League whereas he didn't want to be at his previous club, so yeah, I think we have a player on our hands!

 

Mogi Bayat strikes again, what a legend.

 

Every once in a blue moon, Mogi Bayat actually helps us out by giving us a good player!

 

Yes. And much as Cleverley gets some stick on here, it was notable just how much he was communicating with Dennis throughout. From encouraging him to close down opponents and hold his position and generally not rest or relax. Sometimes easy to forget that footballers can have a big influence on the team and their teammates beyond what they do with the ball.

 

On Sky they had him listed as Bonaventure on the team sheet, I actually thought we must have signed someone in secret and had kept him under wraps

 

Pretty much already repaid the nominal fee we paid for him.

 

Don't think we will be too unhappy with today's performance!

 

I thought his link up play was superb. He gave it away a couple of times but made up for it with some brilliant flicks showing great awareness of his surroundings. For a small guy he's quite strong as well.

 

£3m probably would have been considered a nominal fee last time in the Prem, but not now!
