weeyin Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Eli gets bigged up in The Guardian's "Five Breakout World Cup Stars". Must be worth a few extra quid. Eli Just (New Zealand, 26) His World Cup performances have captured a wider audience than he had last season in Scotland, where he delighted supporters of an improving Motherwell side with consistently high-quality displays. An intelligent middle-to-front forward, Just is a late developer. He previously played in Denmark and Austria after leaving New Zealand and is now showing a belief in his ability. Bigger defenders have been caught off balance by a quick body swerve as he moves with intent from the middle third into dangerous areas and at this tournament he has benefited from complementing the strength and hold-up play of Chris Wood. Just’s advantage over similar attacking midfielders is how quick he is to assess situations – he sees pictures. Twice against Iran he saw the space in which to receive from his target man and score with perfectly placed right-foot shots. He can score with his left too but needs to score more. Just is consistently a highly skilled performer at club level and shows a commendable humbleness and intelligence. If he continues his improvement he will be on a bigger club’s radar.

mio Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago He comes over really well does Kyrk, it’s so refreshing listening to his outlook and enthusiasm for progressing the club….. it’s just what I need after watching Steve Clarke’s press conference and his IM Jolley demeanour.

The ones that stuck around to get 40 or 50+ games under their belt had more success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
