Guest Roger Kint Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It's great we might actually be signing someone, but if this is the left back, I'm a bit concerned he is right footed. Aye if he is owt like that Lahm bloke he will really struggle....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It's great we might actually be signing someone, but if this is the left back, I'm a bit concerned he is right footed. The main thing is that he is good, not bothered what foot he uses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Presuming Santon comes in, who would people prefer to see dropped, Simpson or Raylor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Seems to have played a lot of games at left back and for a team as big as Inter Milan, not normally keen on full backs playing on the opposite side pretty sure there shouldn't be too much trouble with this lad. From youtube (yeah, I know), it doesn't seem to affect his ability to get forward and do something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Santon will be the new left back, I see no reason why Simpson's place will be under threat. Taylor will probably go to right wing, to begin with at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Santon will be the new left back, I see no reason why Simpson's place will be under threat. Taylor will probably go to right wing, to begin with at least. He wont be, but should be out of the team to Taylor. They're equally as bad defenders, but at least Taylor offers us a goal threat. Having Jonas in front of Santon on the left allows him Santon to push forward more too, as Jonas is better at tracking back to help out than anyone we have playing on the right.

Mistle17 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Excellent signing, imo. I still cant be feel its a crying shame Enrique's gone- a back line of: Santon----Coloccini----Taylor----Enrique Would be absolutely excellent. But moving on I'm thrilled he's signing!

HongKongMag Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It's been picked up by BBC Sportsday now: 0941: FOOTBALL Sky Sports are reporting that Inter Milan left-back Davide Santon is having a medical at Newcastle.

James Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Really don't like the idea of two right footed players on the left but beggars can't be choosers. Hopefully Marveaux is up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 He's not right footed man...he's primarily right sided, but he's decent with his left too. Lets put it one way, having a player who has played LB for Inter against Man U in the CL is better than sticking Raylor/Fergie there. Thats if he signs anyhow...

I think you are over egging this a little, I don't see much difference between one player on the opposite side and two, although they will link up at times they essentially do different jobs so I can't see it being a major problem. Both players have played a lot of their careers on that side so it's not as if we are chucking them both into the unknown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
