I don't know how anybody can say with certainty that Santon is a natural RB. Nothing in his career, or his play for us, has demonstrated that. He's just right footed, that's it.

 

You would think a right footed fullback would be able to play right back though wouldn't you?? It must feel more natural than playing on the wrong foot.

 

The only thing natural about it is you have the chance to cross with your best foot. From personal experience I have played more on the left than right, mostly because it feels easier all round from a right foot perspective.

 

Other than that, the major advantage of having a left-footed LB is obvious when playing the ball, out from the back, when the opposition forwards raise their workrate & urgency when pressing (sliding to his flank) from the inside. The left-footers have an advantage (of using the ball on their shielded left) of playing around the outside of the sliding press, to wider options, on their strongest foot. That's the main reasoning for my preference to having a natural-footed FB.

 

But having said that Santon does look solid (under pressure) on his non-preferred foot.

RUMOUR:  Take it or leave it final bid of around £6.75m - £7m to be submitted imminently as it would seem that an agreement has been reached after transfer sumit.

 

 

 

We wait with baited breath

They wouldn't accept it anyway..

 

Don't they want 8m euros? That must be around £7m (as if I am entertaining this ridiculous post).

 

Aye, but the stubborn french leaders will probably stand firm after they decided to keep him.

Nah, this one's a dead duck imo

 

Who watches a dead duck? Not even it's mother, she just flies off, depressed.

I am merley passing on a rumour that I heard although this rumour is from the same person who knew that Bigirimana was due for a medical days before the actual event. As for Pardew storming out of the meeting that was also tittle tattle.

 

I am not claiming to be ITK

There is also a website (i forget its name) who claimed that Debuchy was in Newcastle about a week ago. You know what their source was? The same person who told them Bigi was having a Medical!! Please can you keep this sort of shite in the Braindead thread?
