Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

 

"He played for Italy Under 21s last week, so he wasn't desperate for a game, but he needed to know how we play as a Club. "

 

How easily does "HOOF IT UP TO SHOLA!" translate into Italian?

 

How do you say our current fullback's cant play football and that is one of the main reasons we play hoof ball?

Even Colo and Steve Taylor end up whacking it long, and when you include the keeper, that's 5 out of our 11 who are thumping the ball downfield. If anything Simpson is probably the most likely to try and play it forward. Santon will help, but tactical mastermind Pardew will also need to encourage the players to pass more.

Simpson's the most likely to play it forward? Absolutely no chance. :lol:

I do see Simpson carrying the ball forward occasionally, although he always looks like he wants to get rid of it asap. He's no Enrique though, obviously.

Would still say Colo takes it forward the most. Taylor also tries to take it forward too. Definitely to a lesser extent than last season and that includes Krul too who also looked to keep it short. Hopefully we'll see that return when Santon is included in the side and we start playing better football.

Pardew: 'Santon's knee looked a little bit unhealthy after training, & he's going to have a scan today.' #nufc

 

Unhealthy? What the dickens does that mean.

 

Does his knee look green around the gills? ???

 

It's hanging of his leg apparantley.

On the plus side, Pardew might realise after QPR game and the inevitable demolition job from Zog, that Raylor clearly isn't a left back.  Santon as first choice, with Ferguson as back up from now on surely?

 

There is no plus side. If the lad has no knees, he'll not make a very good first choice.

Will be weeks rather than months, have faith my friend.

 

If not, start praying  :undecided:
