Is ‘crack’ a term of endearment?
To call someone a “crack” is to imply they’re great at something.Is ‘crack’ a term of endearment?
Crackito.Is ‘crack’ a term of endearment?
Hes probably quicker with the ball at his feet. James has speed for days in a sprint race but he slows down a lot when controlling the ball. Pellistri seem to be able to keep his pace decent and keep the ball tight to his feet.Looks good, plays football looking at open players. Has decent pace, I don't think he is much slower than James. If he keeps playing well and improves, Barcelona might want to buy him cheap since they are broke. Hope he get a run till end of the season, have a great pre-season so Ole decides to keep him around.
that’s how it’s looking at this moment in time. Amad might have to go out next season at this rate.I can see this guy being the surprise success story amidst the hype surrounding the Armadillo.
Eh ?Looks good, plays football looking at open players. Has decent pace, I don't think he is much slower than James.

Come on man.His change of speed to beat his man is reminiscent of a certain someone. Might sound probably a little overboard but he's the closest thing I've seen to Messi in terms of dribbling as a young player.
He can go either way, David Silva or just another Bojan.
Personally he's the one I'm looking forward the most amongst our young guns and that includes Greenwood.
he’s not calling him a cracker is he?Is ‘crack’ a term of endearment?
Interesting. He looks very press resistant and is clearly good at manipulating the ball in tight areas. Very tidy.Tweet

Ermmm I can only assume you didn't watch that video as it was the total opposite to kick and run. Bizarre comment.Classic young kick and run performance. Still has a long way to go with decision making based on that video
How do people not know that term of phrase? A crack shot, is tge classic example.he’s not calling him a cracker is he?
5 game ban incoming!
I was just playing dumb for the craicHow do people not know that term of phrase? A crack shot, is tge classic example.
Can’t wait to see him play for UnitedTweet

I've noticed this as well -- admittedly, only from YouTube videos -- from the boy. He looks like the kind of footballer we could use out wide. Fingers crossed he's physically strong enough to compete for a place in the first team next season.What I like from those highlights is his urgency to get going with the ball as soon as he receives it or wins it.
He is our new GOAT.Come on man.
Yeah, certainly worked out with Adnan...Looks to be doing well on loan. Loan him to Dortmund next year as part of Sancho deal. They have a habit of improving young players
More of a Giggsy with his running with the ball and changing direction with pace.His change of speed to beat his man is reminiscent of a certain someone. Might sound probably a little overboard but he's the closest thing I've seen to Messi in terms of dribbling as a young player.

It's wild how badly Uruguay have needed a winger the last 10 years. 9s, CMs and CBs and even a fullback or two at times, but yeah a winger more consistent than a Cristian Rodriguez would help. Maybe Darwin and Maxi Gomez and the potentially dominant Torreira/Bentancur/Valverde trio will have a wide player who can help connect attacks for once.Endorsed by Suarez. "A pleasure @FacundoPellistri, keep up like this crack, and good things will come." (Rough Translation)
Maybe his running style and low point of gravity, but yeah the close ball control, shooting and decisionmaking is nowhere near him. In short Id understand why you hesitate to throw Messi in that sentenceI don’t really want to say this but his style reminds me a bit of Messi.
The one clip of him on the left he looked very dangerous. He’s not better on the left is he.
Did you see the performance by James against City when at his previous club, watch the highlights and enlighten yourselfPromising performance against a side like Athletico Madrid. Dan James wouldn't pull that off, would gain good confidence from this loan
This crack is really moreishIs ‘crack’ a term of endearment?
He'd need a proper no.9 to aim for, someone who makes runs and isn't static on the edge of the box. The few times this season Dan James has got to the byline and fired one across goal there's been nobody in the box. Our strikers, or lack thereof are nothing of the quality you'd expect from a no.9. (Cavani an exception when he's played).What I like from those highlights is his urgency to get going with the ball as soon as he receives it or wins it.
Language is funny.To call someone a “crack” is to imply they’re great at something.
Agreed, it’s a glaring hole in our attack.He'd need a proper no.9 to aim for, someone who makes runs and isn't static on the edge of the box. The few times this season Dan James has got to the byline and fired one across goal there's been nobody in the box. Our strikers, or lack thereof are nothing of the quality you'd expect from a no.9. (Cavani an exception when he's played).
It's more right wing economics.Finally some right wing politics i can get behind...
Wasn't messi doing similar stuff at 16 years old haha. We could only wish he becomes half the player. See the reason for comparison thoughMaybe his running style and low point of gravity, but yeah the close ball control, shooting and decisionmaking is nowhere near him. In short Id understand why you hesitate to throw Messi in that sentence
Is he learning English? there have been a lot of South American players whom have played for years in England and cannot speak it.Now the loan make sense.
He is a South American, first time going out from his home country, probably needs time to learn english. At the same time he needs first team games and sending him on loan to Championship will be disastrous.
I think he is the reason why we should not retain Lingard and look to sell him next season.
He'll be playing for us soon, no doubt.
He already speaks English, just not perfectly fluent.Is he learning English? there have been a lot of South American players whom have played for years in England and cannot speak it.
That is great, should make it a lot easier for him.He already speaks English, just not perfectly fluent.
If they can reach those heights we are talking world class so that would be great business by all at the club.Would be interesting if Ole kept him in the first team next season. We haven't had two young promising wingers in our team since we had a young lee sharpe and ryan giggs. Its far too early in Pellestri and Diallo careers, but if they can hit the heights of a Ribery or Robben in their prime then the pair will have been great buys. The potential of youth hey?
