Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Some of these signings.... I don't get it. How are you getting them so cheap? Ben Arfa £5m? Santon £4-5m? Cabaye £4m?!

 

Of course, time will tell how these new players do but on the face of it, the actual incoming business you've done has been nothing short of outstanding.

 

Young players as well.

 

You make it sound like we know what we are doing

 

 

If these deals are anything to go by, you know exactly what you're doing.

 

You run the risk of upsetting some posters Neil. Ashley and Co are c***s and there's no way past that, all these class signings must be some kind of accident or - ah got it.. they'll sell for more.

 

I think you'll struggle to find anyone who is unhappy with the signings we've made. It's the gaping holes in the squad and lack of willing to push the club as far as possible that pisses people off.

 

'Gaping' holes? Please clarify. I can understand the latter part of your statement but some people seem unable to communicate clearly if you think it is just that which pisses people off.

 

A striker, for one. Backup at the centre back. Perhaps the right midfield...

I think a lot of people are missing this exact point.  We haven't gone out and splashed cash everywhere but we've gotten some very good signings for very reasonable prices.  I'm excited to see how they pan out - a few of them are already looking like absolute steals (especially Cabaye).

 

Moneyball.

 

Moneyball worked.

 

:lol: That's why I said it.

 

I wasn't being an asshole Yankees fan.

 

You Man City loving cunt.

 

Seems like Pip has not read Moneyball?

 

I have. The Yankees don't exactly follow the Moneyball principle. Neither do City.

On August 30 2011, Santon agreed to a deal that will see him sign for English club Newcastle United.[14]

This is my favorite part of a players time with us. He hasn't played a minute, but he seems awesome, and we have no reason to hate his guts yet.

 

Hopefully better than our former Italian LB...........................

 

Francesco Coco.  :troll:

Well we've been extremely lucky to get away with playing Ryan Taylor at left back for four games this season. Starting the season without a single left back on the books is/was a bloody joke.

 

We've had seven months to work out what to do with the Carroll money and bring in strikers that relegate our Championship-esque strikeforce to the bench or out of the squad altogether and aside from Ba (who I firmly believe like Gosling was signed more because he was available on the cheap rather than with a genuine belief he'd fit what we're trying to do) we're still here fucking around with a day to go. We needed a striker adding going into January, and that was before we sold Carroll. We've hardly any right-wing options that aren't square pegs in round holes, and the same goes for centre back cover.

 

As I said, our signings on their own look great, but there's an almost complete lack of consideration for the overall picture IMO. It's very misleading to suggest that 'the negative people' are unhappy with our signings.
