Jesse Pinkman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 He was captain at Malaga. New captain material? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 fwiw, I reckon we still need more cover at full back despite signing this gent. And 2 central defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Fwiw I reckon I agree with you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 fwiw, I reckon we still need more cover at full back despite signing this gent. And 2 central defenders. I reckon we'll be alright at FB if we don't lose any more - Janmaat, Anita, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu and Gamez is a pretty solid bunch for a Championship side!

Andy84 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 fwiw, I reckon we still need more cover at full back despite signing this gent. And 2 central defenders. We've got Dummet, Jaanmat, Anita, Mbabu, Haidara (fitness tbc) and now this bloke. Even Mbemba can play there if needs be. CB should be the priority now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Simeone signed him as backup so he's obviously a solid defender. He's a RB primarily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Would rather we refreshed the fullbacks and moved the injury prone fellas on or further down the pecking order Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Never heard of him before now but got a feeling hes going to the the best fullback I've ever, ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 He was good at Malaga, not seen him at Atletico. Happy with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten about Haidara Yeah, CB needs to be the priority for our next defensive signing. At least we have two good ones already.

TRon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Never heard of him before now but got a feeling hes going to the the best fullback I've ever, ever seen. I'm expecting Enrique levels of competence defending and probably a lot more going forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This summer is awesome. Signing solid full-backs from Atletico Madrid in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Janmaat must be due to head out then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Janmaat must be due to head out then. Don't have a problem with that provided thing guy comes in first. Can't remember what he's like but you'd guess he's no mug given his career to date. Plus players like Bruno have been the best in their position in recent years in the Championship.

Great to have the replacements in first. This is almost running like a proper football club. Pinch myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So satisfying that Benitez knows his Spanish football. Anyone going to claim this signing was a Graham Carr one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I love the surprise nature of this summer. He's arguably better than Janmaat and has leadership qualities. Bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Janmaat must be due to head out then. I really wanted to like Janmaat but his defending was atrocious in some games. Happy to swap this guy for him any day of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
