Cajun Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I really, really, really like this lad. Ste mentioned he thought he would look nervous coming back and I thought exactly the same but there were no fears from him, was stuck in whenever was needed. Also looks promising when attacking. I think he is going to be absolutely brilliant tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I hadn't seen much of him before he came here but he is showing real potential especially coming back from that thug's assault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 What Cajun said, looks class tbh and glad he is back and looks like from a mental point of view at least has no ill effects from the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Would play him over Santon until Santon learns how to defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 As much as I like Santon it's a relief to have a lefty down that side. Much better balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 As much as I like Santon it's a relief to have a lefty down that side. Much better balance. And wow is he looking promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Was just coming on to say the same thing. Makes selection on Sunday interesting. Haidara or Jonas at LB? Jonas was arguably MOM against Fulham so would be difficult to leave him out against the Mackems, but if he doesn't play full-back then he is going to end up taking the place of someone like Marveaux or Gouffran which I wouldn't like to see.

Wil Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Fine player this lad, did really well tonight. Along with the basic skills, looks to have a strong mentality as well as a real composure about him which I particularly like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Picked up from where he left off. Regardless of Santon being fit or not I think he had more or less played his way into the team anyway, but tonight should have obviously sealed that. Cracking little signing and Pardew seems delighted with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 No doubt already been mentioned but there must be a way that a song can be made up for him to sussudio by Phil Collins? Surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JRandall96 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Showed some great signs today i thought. Made some good runs down the line, he seems very quick too. I think he'll prove to be a great buy. Can cover Santon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I thought he was f***ing outstanding in the first half. This. Played like the whole McManaman incident didn't happen. Great to see him not affected mentally by that assault. Promising future ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll prove to be a great buy. Can cover Santon Will replace Santon. this won't go down well but i'd start looking at santon as a winger or attacking forward next season, use 'sadio and jonas as LB's assuming jonas wasn't just fluking a couple of decent performances would save us having to gamble on another winger imo, plus he's got defensive responsibility ingrained in him from his time at FB and can also cover if necessary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 MOM for me. Thought he defended well and the few forays up the field always ended with a decent cross into the box. he has pace on him when he gets going as well. If we had to judge Santon and Haiadara on current play, Santon would be on the bench... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Great to have him back. Can't help thinking how lucky he is (and we are) that his injury was not serious. He has 6 games to put a big marker down now for that left back spot. I think he will take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He's shown a lot of promise so far. Looks like a marvellous piece of business. I have a feeling he will be our starting left back next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
