DeAndre Yedlin (now playing for Inter Miami)


Recommended Posts

Steven Taylor v Southampton (I think) away in the season we went down under Rafa was absolutely horrendous. No amount of coaching could fix the state of our centre backs at that stage.

 

Vividly recall being sat right down the line of him slowly stumbling over on the turn, and face planting the turf as their player ran through and scored.  :lol:

 

One of the best memories of going to the games I did that season - that and Thauvin crying from away fans booing him against Watford in the Cup then going off 'injured'.

That’s why Rafa needed just 2-3 more games. He’d have had Taylor’s card marked sooner if he had, Lascelles would have had a couple more games, we’d have survived.

Always liked Yedlin, was great for us in the Championship, adequate for stabilising ourselves in the PL under Rafa and always seemed like a sound character. Unbelievable pace which has dug him out of a few holes defensively and was a limited full back, but pretty much most of our players between 2016 and now have been. Also been treated shockingly with the visa recently and lack of any kind of transfer after its been evident he's wanted away. Wish him nowt but the best if he goes.

At times he'd come inside to cover.  The wide man would be left free as Ritchie didn't track back and stood there pointing angrily with his finger.  Then everyone would blame Yedelin.  He is miles better than Krath and has the edge on Manquillo for me.  Needed a right back really since Debuchy left

Can't fault his effort or commitment to us, but never been fond of him as a defender.  Always thought his pace bailed him out for poor defensive poor.  Will wish him best of luck.

Unsurprisingly the treatment towards his end here was undeserved. Communication is the least he'd have deserved.

On the flipside this type of shitehawkery from Ashley and co. is exactly what gives hope in the Jones situation being exactly what it looks like.

 

Good luck to Yedlin.

Good luck to him, very important player for us in the Championship and first season back in the league to consolidate

 

Didn't develop as we'd hope, especially in regards to eradicating those defensive frailties we all know he (still) has, but still a really good professional, played over 100 games for the club and I wish him well

 

Such a great opportunity to move there too, massive club and an exciting challenge  O0
