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 cunts 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.

 

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.

We still haven't got a natural left back on our books, Santon is right footed.

I'm happy we've signed a full Italian international but am naturally cynical and cautious after previously being landed with Inter cast offs that didn't live up to their billing.

In all seriousness, there are interesting/worrying parallels with Mr. Martins.

 

Kind of, a little.

 

This lad is apparently really talented, just needs an arm round him. Martins had ability but was just very thick.

Just spent an hour on YouTube. If Jose is worth £6 million then this guy is worth at least double that. Get a decent striker in, Hatem back and I really fancy us to have a real good run in the cups, maybe even finish high enough up the league to qualify for Europe. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha.

Aye, but Jose was worth double what he went for so this lad must be worth, what, £24m?

Just seen the interview on NufcTV. He doesn't speak English and is a very, very handsome man.

 

The interview is in Italian and pretty boring. He thinks he's the next Maldini, mind.

This is the best signing from Inter since Martins! Get in!

The flaw in your arguement is glaring, Martins was a crock of shit.

 

Despite being a crock of shit we still managed to sell him for £9m whereas our premier striker had to send out brochures to secure a free transfer to sit on Man U's bench.
