Ex- Hammer Domingos Quina has scored La Liga’s “Goal of the Week”.
Quina, like Jeremy Ngakia left West Ham in the belief that he could further his career at Watford.
Like Ngakia, however, he has found it tough to nail down a regular place even amongst the lesser competition provided in the Watford squad. Consequently Quina has moved on loan to Granada to try his luck there.
Quina caused excitement in his early career for his habit of scoring the occasional wonder goal from midfield.
However he has, so far, provided evidence that he is only a scorer of the occasional great goal rather than developing into a great midfield goal scorer.
Still the fact that he has the occasional great goal in him is apparently still true and he has been at it again, even if in a losing cause.
As a Blind Hammer I cannot possibly comment but you can judge for yourself on

You have to say that most of those that have left us because they felt they were getting less chances with us than they thought they deserved have had a rude awakening. None I can think of have achieved outstanding success and proved us wrong- Ngakia, Diaganna etc. Still wish them well but can’t help thinking we are making better football decisions since Moyes has had his input taken seriously
Diangana didn’t want to leave & I don’t think Moyes wanted him to go. I think he would of done better under Moyes then at West Brom. Great left foot electric pace, tracks back, beats his man could of played WB too though loving Johnson at thete. Quina has always been a talent imo & has a knack for stunning goals from range with that left foot. Scored some for us in U23s then some for Watford & Portugal Youth. Moyes really gave Ngakia chances & continued too after he wanted to go to try & keep, he started at Watford but soon was not playing. With Coufal that worked out for us but not for him. Quina’ did well for Watford at times in PL & Championship but as CM box to box player he is very slight. Think La Liga might suit him better bc very technical league & still only 21. Have no I’ll will forward him his agent pushed the move I think & I’d be happy to see him do well especially with Granada permanently.
