Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Terrible terrible error but I've seen enough from him in his career for us so far for me to have faith that he can turn it around.

 

Everyone at this club needs this nightmare season to just fucking end already, this guy in particular.

Couldn't agree more, it's the first time in a long time that I'm wishing for the season to end.

He's 22. He can only improve with experience. Daft to even suggest selling him.

 

Needs some time out though. He has severely fatigued at the turn of the year and the individual errors kept coming as a result. And that's after being one of the few to come out of the first half season with any credibility. Once Haidara is mentally ready he should take over for most of the matches. Santon desperately needs a rest.

He's got the potential to be a good player but at present he makes far too may mistakes, which have cost us dearly this season. Simpson is a far better defender than this kid, but look at the stick he gets in here.

 

Would like to see him played further up the pitch (instead of Jonas ideally) or dropped.

He's a good player. With some specialist coaching, he could be a fantastic player. Give him a cuddle and see what he's like next year. He's not helped by the lack of movement from our midfield and forwards.

 

Linked with Zenit today, incidentally.

The amount we pass back to our keeper, I am surprised it's taken this long for this to happen!

 

We actually have quite decent possession stats in Europe.  But about 90% of it seems to be in our half.  10 passes along the back 4, lay it back to the keeper, hoooooof.  Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately in the last 2 seasons we've facilitated his learning curve as a defender and at times it's really cost us. Just hope he learns and we reap the benfit.

 

:thup: I shudder to think how many chances and as a result goals he has (in)directly cost us this season.

Might be alone, but I feel sorry for him. He looks so fucking burnt out, and has done for three/four months.

 

Looks a little disinterested when he's in our half. Hope we can claw our way to safety, and he can have a restful summer. Such a talent.

 

If Haidara gets back to fitness, I'd definitely play Santon further up. Hasn't got his head on straight enough atm to be in a back four. The backheel-on-the-post the other day and today are costly mistakes for us which we can't afford going forward until May. At least if he does something daft on the wing, there's still a back four behind him.

 

Agree with all that, he looks knackered. Huge mistake last night, unfortunately I can't see him coming back from it with a great performance, he's hanging on in there as it is.

He doesn't reacts like a defender for me, usually when the ball is put into the back post from the opposite side to him, he is re-active not pro-active as proper defender would be.

I can see us taking a decent offer from Milan for him in the summer.

 

 

Talksport (yeah I know) reckon Anzi want him. Bidding war please.

 

Keep him please.

 

:thup: can't believe anyone would want to sell our starters tbh, we need more players not less.

:thup: Can't believe people are writing off a 22 year old with a clear amount of promise because he's had a few bad months in a team that's been shit all season.

Not writing him off,and wouldn't want him to leave.

 

But if Milan and Anzi start chucking silly money offers at us,which they're both more than capable of doing,I'd definitely have to consider it.

Nah Milan aren't in fact no Italian club at the moment is, they are just not capable of it. Anzhi might do though.

No way would I sell him, He was easily our standout player in the early parts of the season, and this team has been utter dog s***  all season. I'd sooner get rid of the manager

 

Not to mention you'd have to change your name and avatar.  Fuck that.
