I’m not convinced, another tricky winger with no end product. Even at his age we should be seeing decent finishing technique. That’s doesn’t just come with age or confidence…the basis needs to be there from the start.

Apart from his lovely finish for his goal ? ?

Well that’s one clip and tbh I was also referring to him finishing final ball generally whether it be shot or cross

But that wasn’t a YouTube compilation video, that was from just one game against Spain at the olympics.

I personally thought the crosses and corners were pretty decent in general. He’s obviously still very raw but he’s still only 20. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want us to pay big money for him but just imagine him and Gill coming on with 15 to 20 minutes to go against tiring defences . ?

From what I've seen, raw talent, but decision making poor, final ball not great.
Runs in to dead ends, a little like Lamela did most of the time.

20 years old, shit league, great feet, good control of the ball, good burst of pace, confident in his ability, doesn’t have the production of Bale at his peak. Pass.

No end product isn't ideal, but is it the end of the world? Adama has zero and product but hes still an extremely scary player. if you actually watch his Russian league clips instead of his highlights internationally, you can see he has some end product, especially when it comes to creating tap.ins.
the sheer amount of times he gets hacked down in or around the box is also a very handy aspect of his game, he could create a few goals a year just by getting fouled.

I wouldn’t even go as far as to say he’s got no end product. Nine goals and 13 assists in 60 league matches is a pretty decent return for a winger who only turned 20 in February. His production is on an upward trajectory as you’d expect for someone his age, I don’t see any reason to think he’d be useless in the final third.

Edit: Looks like the assist total in this post is wrong, as discussed below.

I'm not saying this guy's gonna be better than Ronaldo, but he's gonna be better than Ronaldo.

He's 20. Of course he isn't the complete player. If had end product at this stage of his career we probably couldn't afford him

He only has 6 assists in his entire professional career

Not according to Transfermarkt, who have him down with 8 assists in league play last season and 5 the season before:

I trust fbref and whoscored over transfermarkt when it comes to keeping stats.

Well I guess the source I checked was wrong then. Regardless, writing off a 20 year old for lack of end product is a bit short-sighted. Gareth Bale had 5 goals and 5 assists and Kane a grand total of 3 goals and 0 assists (in the PL) at the same age. I don't know whether Kvaratskhelia has the quality to kick on, that's up to our scouts to determine, but his stats as a teenager are hardly determinative on the question.
