Mole_Toonfan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Plenty of teams have played good football with CBs who can't do s*** on the ball. It's only really a problem when you have 2 defenders on the same side who don't want it, such as Simpson and Williamson. Not bothered about he's technical ability, its ability as a defender that concerns me and did in his prime.... now he has lost a lot of his physical ability and isn't half as good as he was even if he was in my eyes still overrated then.

Ronaldo Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well, yeah, that's all true. I just hate it when people bring up lack of footballing ability as a serious flaw in a CB. We've been spoilt in that sense with Colo but I'd always look for a defender who's physically good enough and can mark before anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Tbh i couldn't care less what an incoming CBs ball playing ability is as long as it doesn't put us in trouble. I want a more athletic and aerially dominant version of Williamson and that will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hmm... In the days when just about everyone thought Willo was useless, I don't remember him being cut this much slack about his lack of ball skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Like the look of Finnbogason, hope we get him. Can he play the Shola role ? Honestly that's all i want from a striker, someone who can hold the ball up and bring others into play.... well that and actually score goals and not collapse after an hour every game.

From the 2min video I've seen: Loves a ball over the top, precise hoof all not outright willo hoof so will struggle in this setup. Got a great touch on him, can't teach that and is very much transferable league to league IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Goals are nice but as always with Eredivisie strikers i'm more interested in their all round play than i am their goal return such as the sub standard level of the league. Don't know anything about the lad but hope he can hold the ball up and score goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Any Icelandic/Dutch fans with a view on Alfred? He sounds quite useful and has a great record although as mentioned the Dutch league should be treated with caution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
