Punk77 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 People are so hung up on what foot he uses, but it's not a video game! The guy played numerous games at left back at friggin Inter, and was hugely rated off of these performances. Chill out! He is fine either side. it's just about balance mate, that's all, and especially if you've got jonas ahead of him the other team pretty much know what they need to do to stop us down the left. he looks really comfortable on the ball though, him and ben arfa down the left is potentially incredible. It's not that straight forward at all. You can't just say because they're both left footed the other team knows exactly how to stop them. Disagree completely. the other team knows which way they're gonna go 9 times out of 10, and that they'll be running into traffic rather than space. i'm not saying it wont work, i'm not saying we wont have a good left flank, i'm saying we'll have a more predictable one and that's a bad thing imo. Everything depends on his pace and technique..If you are useless with the ball, like Simpson, it will be a disaster putting him on left back..But from what I've seen from Santon he's fast and is capable of going both ways..It's his skills that makes him unpredictable, not his preferred fot.. have you played much football? as a defender? I have, but at an inferiour level so it's hardly relevant for this discussion..My point is simple, Santon got skills, so he's probably capable of passing and crossing with both feet, although he prefers his right foot..Simpson on the other hand find it difficult to hit a simple pass..Consequently Simpson would be the shittest defender on earth if placed on left back, but not Santon. contrary to what sam allardyce might tell you, the basics of the game are the same at any level. and one of them is if you know which way someone's likely to go, you've got a better chance of stopping them. i'm not even sure why you're talking about simpson to be honest. Because he's a mong who justifies his existence on the board by pretending to get into the 'theory' of football and offer some 'great insight' - it's car-crashingly excruciating to read. Jeesus christ..Theories are propositons about football you ignorant..They're up for discussion...The problem with some supporters is that they're so in love with some players, or have such an fixated view of football, that they refuse to discuss alternatives..And those who propose an alternative view are branded as idiots. . You and Ronaldo are experts in this particular area. We had exactly the same discussion previous season with Nolan (his lack of fitness and incapability of distributing the ball)..I was of course slaughtered for even mentioning this..Even those with minimal brain activity (that excludes you and Ronaldo) now see how much more balanced and better our central midfield is. I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, but you could at least try to argument why, instead of polluting the internet with your idiotic remarks.

SUPERTOON Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Does sound very much like a terrific signing and I look forward to seeing the lad in action. Still need a striker in, cover at DC and a replacement for Barton though. Think that may be overly hopeful, but I agree we definitely need the Striker in by the end of tomorrow. The chronicle reckons Pardew will push for a CB and a replacement for Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 His ability to play both sides is a major plus. Gives Ferguson the chance to push for left back spot as if he's good enough we can switch Santon to the right and drop Simpson. High hopes for the lad if this comes off, but it may take some time for him to rediscover anything even approaching his best form so we'll have to be patient with him.

I was critical of Nolan's signing from day 1 and got slated for it a few times but just seeing Cabaye in there now vindicates everything. Not that Nolan did badly for us but he stopped us moving on.

teohgk Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 great signing , but remind you all, he's not the same players 2 years ago, extremely low confident and going to play in a different league , should not be expected to throw into the 1st team and perform straight away . i hope when he get used to the pace of EPL and also regain his confidence , he'd become hell of a signing for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
