Disco Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I really think this lad's the next Adebayor. Sochaux season ticket? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know it's not ideal and wouldn't choose to see it but could Santon fill in at CB in an absolute emergency? I know he's a FB who could play on either side but if we're absolutely desperate could he do job there for a game or two if need be? Seen very little of him. He is a tall lad so on that basis Santon > Perch. Infact if he was 4ft 8, Santon > Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's not his position but if he's a big(ish) lad and can play a bit but have enough defensive nous to hold a line like he needs to do at FB then he's got to be playing ahead of Perch or moving Simpson to CB and letting Santon play at RB?

Sifu Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I remember that game against Scunny when Simpson had to play CB In short, if we really don't have a choice then yes, I'd consider playing Santon at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 He seriously couldn't be worse than Perch. Perch at Blackburn was obscene, every header went sideways or backwards (and not in a way that was beneficial). Rather bizarrely he didn't look that bad in possession but defensively when the slightest bit of pressure built up he was a liability. Going from the best defence in the league to 4 goals against Blackburn tells you all you need to know. I dread to think if we had to play him there in a league game against a good side.

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I agree with the rest that a CB cover is needed desperately, preferably a ball playing one so if Coloccini were to miss some games we could still have someone to bring the ball out from the back. I would want a fullback, back up CB to go along with Maiga and that would please me a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 A defender, Maiga and a Coloccini contract would be absolutely lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe a bit on the optismistic side but i was hoping Coloccini's contract could be sorted out before January lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll rephrase it: Would he be worse than Perch? Err, difficult really. His whole stance and style is that of a fullback, I'd probably feel a little bit more comfortable playing Perch as he speaks English etc. It would be a gamble but possibly he might be better than Perch.

aussiemag Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Maiga, Ba, Best, HBA, Ameobi .... Are people happy with this striker force to progress as a team?. We will obviously have to wait and see how Maiga adapts to the English Premier League, but he appears to be of the strong and pacy type favouring wider positions. Each striker has sufficient pace, Ba has the finishing, Best has the hold up play, Ameobi has the unpredictability, HBA has the silky skills. It seems we have all attributes covered.

Yorkie Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I don't know anything about Maiga but there's huge potential in that striking squad. There isn't a bad player amongst them, and i include Shola there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 BEEF. Anyways, that's a pretty decent strikeforce, I believe. We know they have goals in them as long as there's decent service to their heads and feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
