Daniel Candeias - The Complete Winger

[the_glorious_12th]

You know, the one that many of us on FF did not believe could exist and so use to make excuses for Barrie McKay. Myself included amongst the worst of them.

"Winger's shouldn't have to be tracking back", "it's not their job to making challenges."

Well Daniel Candeias come on down. What a performance.

He creates, he scores, he times his runs and he is always there for an outball. But he also tracks back, tackles, draws fouls, holds the ball up and chaces down every lost ball.

What a snip at £800k. MOTM for me.

Daniel Candeias is not far off being the best player in the country these days.

He’s just absolutely brilliant.

 

[CWOODPIONEER]

Easily the best pound for pound 'winger' in the league. I hope he stays for 55

 

[DocStone]

"i before e except in Candeias" I was taught at school

Thread title edited to avoid the 300 more posts ripping the pish out of your inability to spell one of our player's names

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Love his attitude, gives up on nothing. If everyone had the same attitude we would have this league won already.

 

[squaddie-bear]

Bang on the money.

The fact we got this guy for less than a million is absolutely mental

 

[Widdenheed]

Love the wee guy

Absolutely magic and a vital player for us

 

[Its-Sebo]

The wee man is absolutely outstanding, he's found his home.

 

[DocStone]

I absolutely love him - he has desire, he has energy, he has ability, and he knows what it means to play for us.

 

[madmac1959]

What an engine on him and his bit of keepy uppey was superb.

 

[Gios_Gillet]

His tenacity in the tackle and tracking back is just special to watch. Exactly what we want from a Ranger

 

[Lamberts Teeth]

He’s doing it consistently now, delighted he’s putting it together for us.

 

[basiltherat]

Excellent player and him and Murphy show just why McKay will never play at the top level
Everything he has they have. And then they have a whole lot more.
An outstanding purchase.

 

[Soop1980]

Love candeias. Chases everything and also wins it about 9/10 times. No such thing as a lost cause with him about

 

[Jacrispy]

The one shining light in the whole Pedro disaster. Very much the diamond in the turd of that reign.

He’s been excellent

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Easily the best pound for pound 'winger' in the league. I hope he stays for 55

Transfer window is closed mate.

 

[Scottinho]

Absolutely him gives 110% and will empty the tank for the cause. And reading an interview with him the other day. And it seems he loves playing for us.

 

[AnglianBear]

The most underated player in Scottish football. An outstanding buy. Pedro bought some duds but he bought some fantastic players too.

 

[Leif Erikson]

His first touch is immense. The way he instantly controls high balls out the air is ridiculous, and another cracking assist for him today. Love the guy.

I have been singing his praises since he arrived.

His work rate is tremendous. He chips in with goals. He has fabulous assist stats. He swings in dangerous ball after dangerous ball, but most impressive of all is his attitude. He never rests on his laurels on the work he does going forward. He tracks back and covers for Tav brilliantly almost every week.

Just a great bit of business and rapidly becoming one of my favourite players.

 

[Buffallo72]

OP has stole my thunder just stared the same thead. You are correct mate he has been immense for us but since GM has came in he has been on a different level.

 

[greigsdestiny]

Have to hold my hands up here. Slated Daniel after his performance at Easter rd earlier in the season & though he wouldn’t kick on, but the wee guy has put in some terrific displays since then. Must be one of the first names on team sheet every wk.

 

[Honza1872]

Him and Tav for our POTY I don't watch any games in Scotland except us obviously and them when they are getting spanked so I' hearing noises about Berra or Forrest for the Scottish POTY everytime I've seen us against either of those players they just don't stand out.

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Deserves a song. In fact he said he wants a song.

Dan Dan
Dan the man
Dan Dan
Dan the man
Dan the man Candieas.

To the tune of Mo Mo.

 

[L_D]

The wee fella has a crackin' engine on him. Bit of a dig, the odd trick and rapid over ten yards.

I like him a lot.

 

[Honza1872]

Transfer window is closed mate.

No it's not.

 

[Nizzy72]

Love this wee guy, what an absolute gem we got there.

 

[yosser hughes]

a song from the early 70s by the group dawn called candida could be tweaked by some clever bear

 

[BlueStu72]

I remember around the time Pedro was booted on here defending Candeias against utter morons that thought we should get rid because he had about 3 games where he wasnt excellent.

Hope everyone of them is big enough to eat the humble pie because the truely is an excellent, excellent player.

 

[RabG 77]

Tanner ba wingers don’t exist anymore, you need a guy like him on the flanks to help out the full back in the modern game. His fitness levels are unbelievable he’s an athlete first and foremost, you never see him blowing out his arse even in the last minute, he’s looks better away when we get a bit more space, remember he’s come from another country and style of football, looks to have settled now, was fkn brilliant today.

 

[Ryzogrumpybear]

£800k makes a complete mockery of the cost of platers south of the border that cost millions and earn stupid money for being average at a push...

 

[YorkshireBear]

Love the wee man, been one of if not our best player for a while. Needs tied down om a new contract asap IMO

 

[Blue Max]

The Candyman is tremendous. I've never seen such a hard working winger. He is great going forward, has pace and a great delivery but then turns himself into an extra fullback when we're defending. Love the wee guy. I hope we extend his contract as well. He deserves it for his performances. There's not a better player in Scotland than him this season. Other than Tav of course!

 

[Sandbear]

Great wee player , proper modern winger can do it all.

 

[the_glorious_12th]

I absolutely love him - he has desire, he has energy, he has ability, and he knows what it means to play for us.

Agree with that entirely. It's pretty incredible to see what it clearly means to him to be playing for us.

Particularly when you look at his career to date. Has been a journeymans career if ever there was one. Passed from pillar to post but always seems to have been a consistent performer.

Looks like he was just looking for somewhere to call home. I'm delighted he has decided it's here with us.

 

[bornabluenose]

Very rarely has a bad game , a real steal .

 

[welshbear]

He was terrific today .. MOTM

 

[Weetoonblue]

Love his attitude, gives up on nothing. If everyone had the same attitude we would have this league won already.

That is very true his attitude is first class.

Hope we can hold on to him for 55 and 56 but he keeps performing the way he is I think there will be a lot of interest in him in the summer..

 

[Alex Venters]

Outstanding today.

 

[reallyruff]

Easily an 8/10 player, would be 9/10 if he adds more goals. My motm today also..

 

[Skoosh1872]

He works so hard and the fact that we now have another hard working wide man in Murphy just gives us so many more options now.

I 100% believe that it’s Candieas that has allowed Tav to have the season he’s having.
They are dynamite as a partnership.

 

[Skoosh1872]

The one shining light in the whole Pedro disaster. Very much the diamond in the turd of that reign.

He’s been excellent

Harsh on Alfie!

 

[Punt13]

He is the present day equivalent of Nacho Novo, I can’t pay him any higher compliment than that.

 

[GersFanHutch]

He had a brilliant game. It was him and Murphy who stepped up to win us the match when Windass and Morelos has a bit of an off day.

The front four are looking very threatening now.

 

[CaptainObjective]

My MOTM. Absolutely brilliant. Plays like he's one of us. Fights for everything and works his arse off.

 

[jigster]

Because of Candeais Tavernier is now a better player they are the best right sided players as a twosome in the country

 

[Calum955]

He’s been one of our best signings in years, very consistent for a winger which is rare. Love him!!

 

[Dicks11]

Another fantastic display, surely motm. Well done Candieas.

 

[Prso09]

His workrate is superb, him and tavernier have a good partnership

 

[The Reaper]

Candeias... heavily criticised by some earlier in the season I recall. He is a very, very good player. A great signing, credit where it’s due to Caixinha.
