Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Davide Santon's agent has just said on SSN that Llambias, Pardew, Charnley worked really hard to get him, he put that across to Davide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Atleast we got a CL winners medal in the team now! Or does smith allready have one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Buzzing to see this lad play. Only slight concern is him being predominantly (sp) right footed. However, I'm sure he will use the outside as well as cutting in. If Jonas/Marveaux/HBA keep the width, then it shouldn't be a huge problem. If they start drifting in field as well it could become an issue IMO. Still can't believe we've signed this kid though. Thought we had no chance of getting a player like Santon.

I checked the theam and subs for Inters CL win and i can't see him listed? Does everyone in the 25 man squad get one or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 from what I read on an Inter forum, he's definitely more comfortable on the right side of defence or moreso as a right wing back (as Inter play wingbacks). .....he had 2 big injuries (2009 and 2010 season) and the 2nd one really affected his form. Quote from 2010 - Inter fan I also think playing his natural side now that Maicon is most likely leaving will be very advantageous to him. Some of his defensive lapses this season were IMO because he was playing on the left, he was caught out because of his movement, I think that will get better when he's on the right Thanks for that... Was begining to think I was a lone voice on here yesterday... Happy if this is a long term Simpson upgrade but will be slightly concerned if he's the long term left back from what I've seen of him...

What's the point of stressing out about it? We've got him in and are unlikely to get another fullback in during this window. IF he proves to be shit on the left then we'll have to address it in January, meanwhile we've got Raylor and Ferguson as back up, and Perch I guess.

Dr Venkman Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm more than willing to accept he's our left back for now but long term I'd look to bring someone else in and move him to the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I know of a fine player who preferred LB despite being completely right-footed. May be the case with this guy as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If it's any indication, I play left defender for my 7 a-side team despite being 99% right footed. So it is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Needs to be given time to adapt to Premiership football, at least a season or two. He'll see more hoofs in one game than he'll have seen in half a season with Inter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
