Anderson Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Nice one. Must admit I was wrong about him, always thought he could only work in a system similar to Rafa's back 3/thought he was too defensively fragile to play in a back 4. Been great under Howe though, picking him up for a few million another Benitez masterstroke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Delighted with this. He's not only a great defender, he's a great footballer too. Him and Burn have been immense, and hell be very important for us over the next couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Get in, great news, he's more then deserved that. It's still mental to me that Bruce picked Clark over this beautiful bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is from a German speaking canton of Switzerland. Guessing like most Swiss he’s a demon at the old languages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Good stuff, loved him and Lejeune since Rafa's spell, it's a shame they were both binned off for Clark. If Howe feels he can coach something out of Longstaff, I'm happy to offer him a new deal, please bin Dummett off though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've said before that I think Schar could legitimately play in the back 4 of City, Liverpool and Chelsea because of his ability on the ball. He'd struggle moreso in a poor side who are defending their box for much of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Good news, 2 years about the right deal. It seems the players love EH as much as we do, and only the laziest one`s weren`t pissed off with Bruce`s methods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought made his disdain for our ball-playing defenders even more baffling to me. Have I just been blinded by his goal scoring record? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Didn’t Howe say he tried getting him at Bournemouth when he was at Hoffenheim? Think that shows why judging his transfer record there is harsh because attracting players was always going to be hard and they were always going to have to overpay on gambles which weren’t always going to pay off. Still the fact he kept them in the Premier League for 5 years was immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
