Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon


Recommended Posts

Babayaro has to be one of the worst players we've ever had?

 

Mbiwa looks to be on the other side of the scale!

 

The worst thing about Babayaro was that he could actually play when he wanted to, he had a brilliant game when his brother had just died.

 

Ran out of brothers evidently....

That was the Liverpool game? Remember him doing OK and everyone going OTT because he'd just lost his brother. He was a dreadful cunt with a dreadful attitude who couldn't defend.

I think it possibly was against Liverpool, as for going OTT about his performance, I couldn't say going off memory.

MYM looks a fine player who will form a solid partnership with Taylor. He is a ready made replacement for Coloccini whose form has dipped and been patchy since Sunderland.

Stupid comment time but he reminds me of Woodgate a little tbh.

 

Both quick, intelligent (Well on a football pitch), strong, will out-think a player in a tackle rather than destroy them.

 

Not seen any major weaknesses really, given his age and adjusting to a new club there normally are some.

Yeah, he made a few mistakes in the Swansea game but I think a lot of that was down to communication, Elliott and the defence just didn't seem on the same wave length.

Reminded me of this post :lol:

 

Why we not playing him against Brighton? Paperwork or just didn't want to rush him.

 

Remember Boumsongs debut against some lower league club, £8m and raped off a painter and decorator. Wasn't it DJ Campbell for Yeovil? Jesus that was a low day.  :lol:

Seems to know exactly what will happen in an opposition attack before it happens. A defensive clairvoyant. Defends with such ease, almost without breaking a sweat. That phase of play where he totally shut down an attack down our right side, and won a freekick towards the end of the game. Defeat-avoiding play that was.

 

Also love how he brings the ball out.

 

Superb player.

The lad's quality. No reason him and Taylor (if the latter can stay fit) can form one bastarding hell of a partnership.

 

MYM, not Boumsong.

 

We still need to upgrade on Taylor if Colo goes.

Thought he was excellent - love the way he anticipates passes and nips in to pinch the ball.

 

Already has that Colo-esque aura about him where if he's one-on-one with an opposing forward you have no worries he'll get the job done.

When fully up to speed in Premier League, he will be immense, same with Sissokho, considering it's their first couple of months.
