Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

I can't forgive his awful attempt of a clearance vs Sunderland, or his wayward passing that have led to counter attack goals, and his woeful tracking. He's in the side to play LB or RB or DM, he needs to do that shit. He doesn't do that well, had 1 good ball - that doesn't justify or make "better" anything else for me.

 

He should be miles better based on his size, pace and technical ability but his mental lapses are costly...they lead to goals, and at the moment we aren't scoring any goals to nullify those mistakes.

In all seriousness i actually think it might not be a bad idea to give him a go in CM, just give him a proper DM to do the defending. Let him help defend but go forward more and as he looked promising imo.

 

That was my feeling as well basically. As a proper holding player he's not that much use as he lacks aggression, can't tackle that well and doesn't work hard enough to track runs. Sounds strange consider he's a fullback.

 

Well playing him there will soon see if he can pick that stuff up. He's young and learning, you never know it could work out quite well. Clutching at straws as i maybe.

I think the most frustrating part is that the majority agree he's got something, I really think he has the tools to succeed but he's regressing and its worrying. He's a very elegant footballer, adn one who can pick a pass and has decent feet.

 

Impossible, Pardew told us not one player has got worse under him, they have all improved.

Dummett did make a really good initial impact. Made some great runs and tried to push us forward a lot. Then of course it all went to shit again. I do agree Santon needs to sit out a few games, as Haidara/Paul are more than ready to step in.

Needs to sit out a few games and take stock of things.

 

:thup: That's the joy of having such a big squad...............oh wait.

 

Actually pretty well stocked in his position :lol:

 

Stocked with what? Kids? Dummett, Haidara are fucking children and MYM's not a natural there.

As opposed to the fully developed professional that is Santon?

He's got bag loads more experience than those 3, in that position.

What does his experience bring? He can't even be bothered to run.

He's a better player than Dummett will ever be that's for sure.
