STM Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Let's not forget he was arguably our best player in the first 8 games, along with Ba and Ben Arfa.Ā Players like him will always look worse when the teams not winning, because he's a risk taker.Ā He's not far off Debuchys level, and he's much younger.Ā I'd like to see Santon vary his play, he cuts in too much.

ATB Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think he is a better player than Debuchy, anyway by judging his matches here. Santon may be monotonic with his attacking play but I think he should keep doing it anyway because I definitely think he has developed in that area the last season. He is shooting more when in good areas, and he has a good shot on him, and he opens up so much space with dangerous passes around the penalty area when cutting in, I mean those assist was just beautiful. And even if he most of the time does the same thing none canĀ“t stop him could still improve his passing and decision making, but trust me he will. Definitely a better attacking player than defender but I canĀ“t help it, I always get so exited when he gets the ball at his feet and just drives forward like a shot Ā I sure will miss him when he leave in the summer, because sadly I canĀ“t see him stay, even if I donĀ“t want anything else.

Ikon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I love how he just glides when he runs. Fluid like wine in his running style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The thing is, the cutting in still gets them nearly every time even though they surely know he's going to do it class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Absolutely love this guy. Attacking full backs ffs. How long have we been desperate to have this kind of ability from the back, now we have it on both sides, it doesn't even seem real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest loven Mag 11 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 That volley from the edge of the box was lovely, only 2 foot wide of the post aswell. Hes getting closer and closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The mood really has changed in this thread over the last week or so. Kid was getting slated for couple of bad performances and some were willing to flog him away for some money since we bought Haidara. Ā This guy has the potential to be a starting fullback for Italian national side. He's just that good at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Welcome back Davide. I really think Gouffran and Sissoko's movement has made a massive difference. With them bombing forward at all angles, it's given him much more space to exploit and coming inside is less of a drawback as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 He'll get more chances to bomb forward with Debauchery stretching the opposition on the other flank. Goal soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyeyzzon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think Haidara was just the kick up the arse he needed. Massively improved these past few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 With almost every run he goes on down the left he always tends to cut in onto his right foot for crosses or shots, it seems to work as well most of the time you would think opposition defenders would have noticed the trend by now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 His age and the way he is developing so well here is why we should reject all offers for along time as his value is going to increase every year. Then if someone wants to pay a huge fee to take him "home" they can do when he is older. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact he may indeed one time, keep going down the flank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yesterday was his best game in our colours imo. Two assists but an all-round excellent performance. He's one of the ones who Pardew who talking about I reckon, re: the new signings coming in and giving everyone a boost. He looked burned out and frustrated at Brighton, Arsenal and during the Reading game - since then he's put in a good performance at Villa and an absolute stormer yesterday.
