Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think Jonas will be captain next season. 1) He won't. 2) What's remotely funny or witty about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm fairly sure Cabaye wasn't regular Lille captain. You're right. Mavuba was Lille captain, Cabaye was his vice-captain and also captained the French U21s. Does seem to be pretty influential in the dressing room.

BONTEMPI Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I deperately hope Mbiwa can step up, if Colo leaves. We will be lucky if they decide to sign another centre back. I'm sure he could also fill Tiotes role as a DM if things don't work out at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 We haven't played against Arsenal with him him here, man. He's good some very good qualities but ability in possession isn't one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 He has showed in the past that he does have that ability though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I know you've seen absolutely loads of him so i'll go along with that. He was also described as physically dominant, by the way. Completely different in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Aye OK, the French league is similar in quality to the PL and all those misplaced passes are Pardew's fault. We know it, so get back to inventing games that never happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Showed up. Looking good in possession in France is about as much use to us as Gouffran being a good winger in France. Doesn't mean a thing in this league. Players are in a different league technically, physically and mentally over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean a thing in this league. Players are in a different league technically, physically and mentally over here. You do realise he was talking about CL when he mentioned Arsenal? In any case I think MBiwa will turn great and you can see that he's very good in possession, it's right now all about adapting he has apses in concentration and does misplace a bit too many balls. I understand your criticism but if you've seen him before and even for us we've seen glimpses of a ball playing defender. In any case I agree we shouldn't consider him as a DM, he is to be the replacement for Colo by what we've seen and I hope a pre-season with the team and some more english lessons will help him out. Have no doubt he'll be one of the best in the league in couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um yeah "showed up" feel free to google it, find the synonym, whatever you need to take it on board. Hahahaha! The last paragraph. Genuinely, you talk utter nonsense. So Cabaye was good in possession on France, looks pretty good here? Remy is doing okay for himself? You clearly didn't see the arsenal game as you've chosen (quite sensibly) to ignore that jibe. That was the Champions league. Pretty good standard. Not sure how you can comment on the French league when you've quite clearly never watched it. It's frightening how little you know about football. "Obnoxious WUM". Sounds about right Aye that's it, the other day I was a cunt, keep the insults coming. We both know there's more chance of you getting a job than saying this rubbish to my face. All of our players are top quality, as per usual. Can't wait to see what the next bunch of excuses are when AP gets the boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ronaldo's so quick to judge, man. M'Biwa's a very good footballer who's had to adjust to the league, you can see he'd had his confidence knocked by the pace. You only to see how well he played at left back on Saturday as a sign of is on-ball ability. He was extremely comfortable in possession in all types of scenarios, going forward, when under pressure etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've said that I rate him and he's going to be a great player. I just see his weaknesses as being exactly what a lot of people said were his strengths, namely his physical strength and his passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think Yanga Mbiwa's decision making is his main problem but i expected that when he joined tbh. Very rare for a 23 year old CB to be immaculate in his decision making, especially while getting used to a new league and language. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see his weaknesses as being exactly what a lot of people said were his strengths, namely his physical strength and his passing. Fair enough, apologies, it was only the apparent lack of acknowledgement of the context that I thought was unfair. I don't think because he's been very iffy in possession at times that's completely indicative of his overall ability on the ball, it's just a matter of getting used to the different factors that come in this league. I've certainly been surprised at how sloppy he's been at times but I'm sure once he gets his head round it that it will improve, we'll just have to see.
