Hi guys, Motherwell fan here. We'v just signed Lukas Jutkiewicz and i thought i'd come on here and see how you rate him? We know absolutely zero about him and were looking for an insight as to what we can expect? A big target man or more of a second striker? Strengths/weaknesses etc.

Cheers guys!

in that order

Strenghs are his power and finishing. Scored a very composed goal for us at Walsall in 2006. Can score goals if he gets the service.

big built, no pace.

he hasnt been here for 2 seasons now, so dont know what he's like. always looked a decent prospect for us. no surprise a premiership club snapped him up but from what Plymouth and Huddersfield fans say he probably jumped too early.

seems to have gone backwards now he's playing reserve team football rather than first team football.

His style of play makes him look lazy..which he isnt...hes got abit of Quality about him,good at holding the ball up and and a good finisher...but like all young players need to be played in the right position....something Huddersfield didnt do while he was on loan there so he looked awfull..i for one would like him back at Swindon on loan.....hope he does well for you.

Had great control for big lad, scored a few half-chances when the odds were stacked against him.

I agree that he seems to have gone backwards, jumped ship too early in my opinion, if he'd stayed with us for a couple more seasons he might have really flourished.

Is this a permanent deal or a loan?

He's about 6' 4" I think so quite a big old lump. It was a huge mistake for him to go to Everton - Sean Morrison take note.

With the greatest of respect, I think the SPL will be like shooting fish in a barrel for Lucas. I predict 20 goals for the lad.

Personally I think you're overrating him a bit, but he should grab a few. He's got good control and certainly knows where the goal is. As people have said, he jumped too soon and should have spent a bit longer getting first team experience

hammer of a left foot. good lad.

Has that knack of finding the corner/hitting the inside of the post.

Good left foot. Holds the ball up well.

I think his Everton prospects are long over, I hope his spell at Motherwell is successful especially after his nightmare spell at Huddersfield.

He could do well for you.  Gannon has a good record for coaching & bringing through young talent.  He could score quite a few in the SPL & should work hard unless his period at Everton has made him into a player who thinks he's too grand for grafting for the team.  I'll be looking out for your scores now

How did you rate "the players let me down" Malpas?

According to the BBC its a six month loan deal.

Surprised Wilson didn't make a move for him, would be logical for him to come back here.

I think he'll drift around at Championship level in the coming years, he'll never make it at Everton (probably see this quote come back to haunt me!).  Maybe a move to Scotland on a more permanent basis may be a good move for him.

Dont know how much he's improved since he's been at Everton.

Could do well, Cadamarteri has proven L1 standard strikers can suceed in the SPL.

Yes. On reflection, 'shooting fish in a barrel' was probably a bit OTT...I would still have him down for 15 though.

Just seen The Jukes goal v Celtic..top finish..Well are 2-1 up....looks like hes found his feet,still young really....glad for him.

he's on a tremendous run at the moment, and to score against celtic and being 2-1 is a feat in intself for a youngster.
good on the lad

2-2 now.
