Foluwashola Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Mackem marras summary is, 'didn't do much wrong when he played but is soft as shite'. Sounds good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'd be interested to look at the Ciaran Clark thread when we signed and compare and contrast. I'd imagine it'll make for similar viewing. While true, I'm sure people were happy enough with Sels, Gamez and Lazaar who have turned out to be duds. Not one made a contribution to us.

STM Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He might be shite but I'd hazard that Rafa and his scouts have weighed up the pros and cons of signing him. I'm sure there's been plenty of phone calls to Spain and Liverpool about him. If it's one more position, that Rafa wants covered, ticked off the list then halle-fucking-lujah.

Kimbo Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He's a young defender that had a bad time at a laughably incompetent football club, I won't hold it against him too much given his record in Spain's youth system. Some people that know what they're doing obviously think he has talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as they are Rafa's dude, I dont mind. Every manager has hits and misses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hmm. This smells of Gamez. Nothing wrong with that either, we don't need a starting RB. Even if the lad is bang average we won't be relying on him week to week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've witnessed how much Dummett has improved under Rafa then this guy will probably be starting for Spain in a couple of years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Basically filling the squad with poor to average or unproven players. Quite concerning looking at the squad ahead of the new season in just over 3 weeks. Like some have said, they may work out, but as things stands I think we are definitely looking at a relegation battle to some extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 During Rafa's entire career he's made these weird shite signings, like. Luckily they usually end up having a bit of foresight to the decision to sign them and contribute to competent teams/squads. That or they never really play and just fill a squad place. We could really do with a couple of big, quality signings though. It's getting worrying that we'll have a big squad with little actual quality.

Yeah, still a massive risk for us given our poor our squad is and considering we have just come up. Obviously they could turn out to be great, I just think in our position we needed proven players.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Only about £7-8m behind the self-proclaimed benchmark of Huddersfield now. So close to setting this transfer window alight now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we could do with a couple. I do think we have enough quality to have a decent season, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable if the next two signings are biggies.

He does have a high turnover of players at most of his clubs, I'm guessing this is something not liked by Ashley etc, means more work for them to do.

Winn Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He played a handful of games during the season Madrid won the league didn't he? He also played a fair amount of games for Liverpool. Any player would struggle playing at the back for Sunderland. I am happy enough with this signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
