Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 He's certainly a decent footballer. He'll never make much of an impression in this league, though. Doesn't have the assertiveness/physicality to dominate games, or the ability to change them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is an utterly pointless thread at the moment like. Until he's played in a 3 under a competent manager there's no point in really discussing it, everything is hypothetical unless that happens. Until then it's just people going 'he's shit' and other people going 'he'd be good in a 3 under a decent manager' over and over but for the usual boring, horse shit dressed up as knowing better from TCD. It's not completely hypothetical given we have over 50 games of evidence which suggests he isn't good enough. Quality players have still impressed throughout this tragic era. Vurn hasn't.

Foluwashola Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hasn't 'always been shit' by any means. On the whole though he has proven to be a fairly pointless individual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 He's had his chances, he's not taken them. while i'm tempted to agree i think we should not forget who he's been getting these chances under, pardew and carver, and the style of play and quality of coaching both display if we get a decent manager playing a decent system in the summer and he still doesn't flourish then aye he's not taken his chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this point I thought most figured out the Pardew effect was real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Possibly a little of the PSV - Ajax rivalry creeping in aswell. Would we listen to the mackem DoF talking about our players or ex-players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Anita easily one of the best footballers in the squad, it's just a shame we don't play in a way that allows Anita to excel. We just completely bypass the midfield most of the time instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I would be genuinely surprised if he ever made a big impact in one of the top leagues. Anita & Santon have probably shown the least from all of our players with good reputations. As much as Colo or Cisse can have stinkers, i've seen them earn us points by themselves or show the potential too. This guy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Anita was given a minimal run and has signed for us when we've been turbo shit. He had a great run which was cut short by that World Class enforcer in Tiote. Santon always ends up being one of better performing defenders when given a run into the side. They've both shown potential and they aren't match winning players though it's not ever in their remit as far as Pardew was concerned. They are part of his don't make mistakes and keep it tight bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We conceded bucket loads during Anita's supposed "great run". Santon has directly been responsible for more goals conceded than any of our defenders while he was playing. He's never shown the ability to consistently defend well without the LM holding his hand. A deep-lying CM and fullback should be able to help "keep it tight". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You have that stat? Curious to see it. I gotta believe Mike Williamson is up there. Nope - just from observation. I've lost count of the goals we've conceded where the defence has tried to cover for one of Santon's forward runs and Davide is just slowly jogging back.

Astroblack Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Maybe he hasn't "always been shit"like I said before, but he hasn't really made an impact. The way you guys talk about him like he's some unearthed Sergio Busquets. On his best day, he's Leon Britton. And maybe we don't "play the way he likes" well tough shit. Adapt then. That's what the best players do. Anita comes off lazy to me. If we don't play the way he likes, leave and go somewhere where they have that philosophy. He seems perfectly content sitting on the bench and collecting his money. I just don't feel this guy is hungry to improve. He plays when he's called upon and never seems to improve.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 There's a lot of made up stuff in that post. No one goes on like he's Busquets, you're saying he's Leon Britton though. Our system is shit imo. He's not good enough to play in a 2 imo. I don't think he's lazy at all. Weird thing to say about him leaving/collecting his money, that's what players do. Dunno about the hungry to improve thing either way, neither do you. He's often called upon to play in a system that doesn't suit him. No one's saying he's amazing, it's been the same thing for ages, play him in a 3 or not at all. He's a tidy passer of the ball and reclycles things really well imo, under a decent manager in a 3 he'd look good. Outside of that scenario he's a waste of time here.
