He looks fantastic. Just effortless the way he glides past defenders. The timing of his touches / bursts past defenders is perfect and something our other players can learn from.
Garnacho: What is his potential?
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I really like that he is willing to go inside or outside when 1 on 1. Too many wingers just want to cut in and try to score and are way too predictable. He can use both feet, runs hard, and looks to score and assist. I can see him becoming a 20 goal and 15 assist kind of player...
Not trying to overhype him but it has been a long since we have a proper winger that is direct and made you excited to see what will happen whenever he got the ball. Those were the feelings I had when watching young giggs and ronaldo flying down our wings. Hope ETH can manage and groom him into a true superstar as it is obvious he has the talent in him.
His ability to stop dead on the spot while running at full pace really is very special, he's a proper handful for defenders already. His decision making and composure are well above what is normal for his age too. He reminds me of Eden Hazard stylistically. I just hope that if he keeps going at this rate we'll be able to keep him if the Spanish giants come calling.
It will be funny if down the track our main wing choices are Rashford, Garnacho, Amad and Pellistri.
I love the South American in him, reminds me of Alexis Sanchez at his best at Arsenal also Federico Chiesa at the Euros vibes.
He was having fun last night. What an absolute joy it is to watch him. He’s far from the finshed article but he’s got all the tools you need to become an incredible player.
It’s just a shame both him & Rashford are at their best in the same position. I’d be tempted to move Rashford centrally with the form he’s in infront of goal & play Garnacho from the left. Playing either of them from the right would be a waste of their talents.

If he continues like that, he will start more and more games. Not sure how well he plays on the right but soon enough he will be a starter
As I have previously stated, I love watching this guy... he's bullish, demanding, and likes a battle and these are key attributes for me, ahead of his obvious skill. Wonderful to see a left footed player, on the left flank, who can go inside and outside.. his goal against Fulham was one of the moments of the season, an outstanding, outstanding goal in a critical moment, a key game. Not many players score that goal, because you have to really want to score that goal.
I just hope (trust) ETH and the coaching team manage him well. He is a brilliant talent, who will learn from Eriksen, DDG, Bruno, Casimero..and now Rashford.

Every time he gets the ball he causes havoc. Love it.
His decision making is good, he cuts inside, goes outside and also cuts back to pick players in good positions. His work rate is very good too, awesome pace. Wish we had a left footed winger like him.
Never thought I'd say this about a young man... but.... he needs to change his pants. 
Last night was one of those performances for me that confirms a player is a special talent.
People who say "its only Charlton" miss the point, because you have a kid there who has barely played 10 senior games literally toying with senior pros.
As always, the question "how good WILL he be?" is totally different to "how good CAN he be?"...but his potential is such that he CAN be one of the best wide forwards in the World IF he stays injury free, grounded and has that bit of luck

Looks hungry too. Hope those attitude issues are sorted now. I think it was good for him not to be part of the WC squad and get a WC winners medal if there were attitude issues. Would not have helped his hunger or development.
No way ! That's a very strange view. Kid has only one year remaining and is probably our top 3 attackers this season. Why would you loan him ?
His contract is until 2025
He will be a top player, but needs to kearn when to pass if a player is in a better position rather than always try to shoot . This will hopefully come in time and coaching. Could also result in Sancho being sold.

He's making us forget about Sancho at the moment. Needs to finish better though. Already a better winger than Greenwood.
We obviously need to tie him down but I think he needs play time to develop more, he's good enough to start for a midtable team but Rashford is simply too good to drop right now.
Not to mention Sancho will be back addition more competition to the role.
No, but I doubt we'd be playing him this much if he wasn't going to renew.
Busy, industrious wide player. Has a good all-round game from what I can see so far.
I think he has the potential of being a very good all-round offensive player. Kind of like Freddie Ljungberg, who I always thought was slightly underrated.

Again his current deal runs until mid 2025 I believe. No immediate panic.
The club are also looking to give him a new one at end of the season.
What a beautiful bastard.
Sign that contract son.
Love the kid.
Why is YouTube full today of "Watch all Garancho Haters"? I am reading most everywhere and all i see is "play him more " " let ETH nurture him and play him in carefully"
who is hating Garancho ?
who is hating Garancho ?
What a player.
Vivaaaaaa Garnaaaaachooo
Unreal game tonight,
He has such great personality on the field, the confidence in his ability for his age. Superb.
The way he moves with the ball with close control, low center of gravity and changes of pace is really something. Fun player to watch!
Sign him up on a 6 year deal.
This kid is something else. Balls of steel.
Good ain't he.
He was sloppy and poor tonight BUT he's 18 and he has magic quality, just needs to get consistent but that's a few years away so patience.
Very impressed with him even before the goal. Final ball isn’t always there, but he’s so confident and has a way of just gliding past his man.
He’s got a Giggs-esque first touch. He doesn’t go for the elegant Berbatov style touches, they’re just incredibly efficient, sharp moves often taking the ball at really awkward moments and catching the opposition off guard. Love it.
Were we watching the same game?
The kid is so good. He's still raw and definitely not the full thing yet but the talent is here. With more experience he'll be a great addition to the team.
