St1pe Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hope I’m wrong but I think he’s not that great. That said, Clark and Lascelles have regressed that much over the last 2 years it might turn out ok. Out of all the options we would have now I’d still prefer Fede and Schar.

andyc35i Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If he is here just to replace Clark, then it’s £13m well spent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I used to work with a lass who lost one of her little fingers. There was a lad on another team who would deliberately ask everyone for a high 5 so he could ask her for a high 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Lascelles is captain but he has been awful and has none of the attributes that work in Howe's setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Like that he’s coming back home and playing for his boyhood club. Happy with this signing. Anything to bolster the depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Sounds like the perfect pairing for Schar, hopefully that's how Eddie sees it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Him and Schar is a pairing that I wouldn't trust in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 17 minutes ago, TRon said: He said he lacked pace and heading ability, but made up for that with good positional sense, and would need someone with pace to cover for his lack in that department. I mean that's great, I'm not saying he won't be an asset, but would you really pay £13m for a 29yr old with those deficiencies? So he is basically Fede then?

Bimpy474 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) It's a defender comfortable on the ball, funnily enough we had another one of those until Bruce came in. It's amazing how Bruce saw the game compared to newer managers, absolutely no awareness of how the game has changed. He got rid of Florian, isolated Schar and went with centre half's who were what he thinks a centre back should be. I think it'll be Burn and Schar, and possibly Schar, Lascelles and Burn in a three. Your two outside CB's being comfortable on the ball and bringing it forward. Edited January 30, 2022 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It’s good value for what looks like a decent prem level player. Most importantly it improves the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 it's not the most glamorous signing, but could be a very shrewd one - a proven PL defender for peanuts. we're not exactly blessed with depth at CB, and he's arguably better than anything else we've got. get him straight in the team this season, then most likely a reliable/versatile back up next season. assuming we stay up, that is. incremental improvements like Burn and Wood are going to be essential in getting us to where we want to go, people need to get used to it.
