Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Dummet has to go into the middle, Willo is such a liability and when he plays the nerves spread like wildfire throughout the defense....

Dummet middle, haidara or davide LB, don't care which of them tbh

This but with Santon rather than Haidara who I think lacks discipline in getting back and doesn't yet know when it's best to stay back or get forward.

 

It'll come mind.

I can still remember a lot of us moaning about Davide "sauntering" back to his position not so long ago... The two of them are pretty close tbh

Now you come to mention it aye!!!

 

Players do narf improve when they're missing for a while!!!

 

Remember that Obertan kid, fucking lightning he was, all sorts of tricks and flicks, skinning people at will, awesome movement, ball control and crossing. Miss him like fuck

Could see this one happening. The way the club will look at it, they've got Haidara, Dummett, Colback and even Anita who can fill in there. They could cash in without having to replace him.

Dummett has some attributes to be a CB, he's athletic and fairly quick and he's tough enough in the tackle. Santon is our best LB by miles.

 

Really? I prefer Haidara.

Haidara is better going forward than Dummett and Santon but isn't a better defender and a Left backs primary role is to defend.

 

Haidara gets forward and leaves acres of space in behind him which when he's played other teams have exploited.

 

Funny, that's how I see Santon. For me Haidara is far more aware and responsive to his defensive duties than Santon.

neither Santon or Haidara are up to much defensively lets be honest.

 

Anyway we have few enough defenders as it is (including santon we have 6 senior defenders for the rest of the season) getting rid of one would be just the kind of stupidity ashley would go through with but would be utter madness to only have 5 senior defenders for 4 positions.

Tbh a bit meh about selling him, would be nice if he stayed fit and improved but he was hardly brilliant before the injury, and the time out is likely to have disrupted his progress, he was always a prospect and not the finished article.

Always liked the fella. Think he's still got potential to be first rate full back, he's just in need of some specialist coaching i.e: not from an average ex Notts Forest winger, a charver who played Fullback from Whitley Bay or a wonky nosed ex Everton CB.

So we'll have 5 defenders until the summer? Possibly Raylor too. That's absolutely shocking.

 

I like Santon but open to selling him. But for such a small fee, when our squad is tiny, is incredibly dumb.

you know I forgot about Raylor

If him going out on loan meant a centre-back coming in even if it's just on loan also, I think that puts us in a stronger position than a month ago.
