Yorkie Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Tbf, it's looking doubtful that Haidara will ever be first-choice (or potentially even second choice) here. Pity, cos he's shown promise when he's played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Must say, as much as I like Santon his lack of improvement concerns me. That said, Haidara and Dummett are not, and quite probably never will be, ready to replace him. I reckon Haidara could be a better player than Santon in a couple of years. Dummett, i'm not sure about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Dummet and Haidara are being slowly introduced into Prem league football, as it should be. One real bad game could set them back months phsycologically! When fat boy decides to sell Santon we'll have these two vying for a place. I don't see them being bad replacements at all as they are still very young and have looked promisiing when on the pitch. Dummet, from going from a contract reject (nearly) to some impressive performances when called upon really deserves credit. Haidara for those few games he played looked decent in a couple and poor in a couple.. to be expected really. Blood them in slowly and we'll hopefully reap the reward, PATIENCE being the key word here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Santon hasn't done much to impove his reputatipon. He's been bang average for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Santon hasn't done much to impove his reputatipon. He's been bang average for us. I understand that his reputatipon has not impoved in your eyes. But just to gauge the scale, can you give me another bang average left back that you'd historically compare him to? Has he the heart of a Pistone? The solidity of a Babayaro? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Haidara and Dummett are not, and quite probably never will be, ready to replace him. he's stagnated definitely, needs some coaching of a decent standard Aye. When you look at our backroom staff it's incredible that the board wants us to be a young team. Can't imagine much coaching going on at all tbh. I've bored myself with the amount I've said it in here but a complete overhaul of our coaching set up would be massively beneficial Impossible to say, but had we snapped up that Meulensteen (someone eventually tempted by the might of Fulham) you can't help but feel it would have a step up in class. Masses of experience of working with the very best and winning things playing attacking football. Would have cost money though, and we all know how dangerous that can be.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't think people realise that Santon is still only 22. Which is baffling considering it gets mentioned quite often on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't think people realise that Santon is still only 22. Which is baffling considering it gets mentioned quite often on here. This is a good point. I actually think of him as older, even though I know he's not for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Haidara and Dummett are not, and quite probably never will be, ready to replace him. we're writing Haidara off now are we? No, but I think he's a long way behind Santon and always will be while he's here and (rightly) not getting games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 College Dropout trying miles too hard the last couple of days. Crap. Not at all. I've genuinely never been consistently impressed by the lad. Not to say he doesn't have the potential. His best run of form has been when he had Jonas for protection. While he's good at bringing the ball forward he doesn't offer a great deal going forward either imo. I'm only basing my opinion on his performances. If he was 28 I would want us to find an improvement. At 22, he's managed to become a bang average PL fullback which I guess is decent when you look at our academy lads at that age. I was more impressed with Charlie N'Zog at leftback tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Judging by that barbershop's twitter, seems santon is very well liked, and has a lot of time for people. Seems like an all round good egg tbh. Hopefully he progresses into the player we all want him to be. At the Toon ? They stagnate/gan backwards due to the quality coaching/mentoring they get.
