Hmm, don't know why he left the Eredivisie. Well I know he is probably getting paid more but still. The style of Italian soccer kind of deflates a goal scorers stats if you aren't on a stacked team or aren't supremely talented at scoring goals.
So if you aren't good at scoring goals, Italy isn't the place for you as a ST? The game in Serie B is more traditional Italian soccer compared to Serie A, so if Frosinone goes up, he could put up similar numbers to this year or maybe find a few extra. The game has changed in Serie A. If you are good enough, you will get your chances in Serie A now days. Goals are slightly higher in Serie A compared to the PL this year.
wasn't his club relegated? he only had 9/10 goals his season in the Eredivisie. I respect him for taking a risk
Yeah, you are probably right, I haven't really been keeping up with Serie A since ESPN took the games off of ESPN3.
Fair enough, the league has changed a lot since 2012ish. Heck it has changed a good amount since Mikey was playing with Chievo and Roma. I would recommend more people watch the league, it is no longer Catenaccio and all tactics. I would still say that tactics are important, but in more offensive ways compared to "how can we not allow 1 goal and get a point?!"
In the grand scheme of things? Probably not, bur he does have some qualities that are worth keeping an eye on. From the very little ive seen from Nova this year he doesnt look out of place which is encouraging
They made the playoffs. That is good. They're where they are thanks to two solid attacking guys, Ciano (7G/2A) and Dionisi (10G/2A). Those two have worked their arse off to be up there in the playoff zone. Then there's Paganini (an AM, 5/1) and Nova (the third forward, 4/4). So Nova is not out of place, but he could have done more. Regardless of the numbers, watching the games you notice he doesn't have enough participation in the build-up and does no defending, except for his helping in set pieces which is usually quite poor.
Absolutely he needs to become more tactically aware or at the very least he needs to make the defenders work more. Maybe part of that is the change from playing mostly in Holland and then going to Italy who knows. But the season to me is one that is nice to build on
i still feel he needs some callups and show what he can do. It's not as if we have any tall strikers. Jozy is only 6'1 same as Dempsey and McBride was 6'0. we need to see what a 6'4 battering ram can do.
Well, for the most part he stands there looking as if he were trying to remember whether he turned the stove off. I don't think he's international caliber at this point. On the other hand, our striker situation is terrible.
I was going to provide a knee jerk roe Ly that McBride has to be 6-2 if not more but looked it up and sure enough he’s 6-0. Amazing he was so prolific with his head but wasn’t overly tall.
surprising i agree especially as many mention how tall and powerful he was. Same for Alan Shearer who is 5'11 or 6'0 yet described as a "big man" or playing like one.
I thought Shearer was a "big man" mainly because he was a tough guy though. McBride probably fits that MO as well. When you're tough, you don't need to be 6'5" to be seen as a "big man".

1286752766384320513 is not a valid tweet id More of an assist man this season, mostly playing on the wing AFAIK. From my calculations, he's averaging .65 goals+assists per 90 (4 goals + 8 assists in 1940 per TM). Solid, especially considering league-style, if not playing world beaters. I think he's capable of fitting in a lower to mid table Serie A side. But at this pt he'd probably need to get Frosinone promoted for it to happen. Don't think he'd be bought off this, but who knows.
Probably would need another year with Frosinone before getting bought but Nesta is viewed as a solid up and coming coach and seems to like Nova which is good
Even if he's only playing/scoring in Serie B, I'd take it. We don't have so many legit options at the time and he can help us from the perspective of a sub who can adjust our tactics.
