Poor start to his career here, but I have faith Eddie will get the best out of him.

[Pearljam10]

Crap

Might have cost us Europe by then.

[Newcastle Fan]

Seemed to be mostly signed because Eddie knows him rather that actually being any good for the team.

Surely there’s a difference to carrying out the pressing plan which can take time to learn get fitness, then there’s to playing in defence?

 

Just looks very limited, which is fair, but not when he’s on £100k+ and we’ve got him for rest of decade. Likely going to end up being in 18 months time at best, 3rd choice LB and 5th choice CB.  

Not even 18 months, and he’s comfortably already 3rd choice LB and 5th choice CB.

 

Woeful signing, and will be a big weight for seasons to come. We’d be better off getting £5m+ for him, and subsidising his wages with that to balance a minimum net 0 return. 

[Skeletor]

What does he do well exactly?

[Boey_Jarton]

Can't remember a worse center back performance in a long time. Long balls softly headed into incoming danger. Distribution terrible. Non existent marking from corners. 

 

At least he was free

[Holloway]

He's poor at this level 

[Kid Icarus]

Bad night with a spell where he played well. Fully expect some of the comments about him to be embarrassing with barely any hindsight.

That just means an obscene wage we will have to suffer from with no realistic way of offloading him

 

If he doesn't improve.

Antonio ran him ragged tonight, is he really a centerback? Where did he play regularly for Bournemouth?

[nufcjmc]

Thought he was shite and offered nothing no calmness at the back, no passing finesse, no stand out qualities what so ever. Not sure he is the player I saw in his highlights or that he's the type that needs a run of games which right now he's at least 3rd choice behind botman and burn you don't see him getting it done nothing to say burn slots straight back in.

He just looks too small to stand up to the really powerful CFs in this league. It's not the first time he's been bullied in the air.

[The College Dropout]

Was everything I feared. Hope he can get better. 
 

 

but I don’t see anything in the lad. 

[Lush Vlad]

Didn’t think he was that bad first half. Massive error costing us a goal aside  

 

As for that second half. That was utterly pathetic. Terrible on the ball, passive, panicked and rushed everything. 
 

Woeful. I won’t be suggesting he plays ahead of Burn any time soon. 

[Myleftboot]

Reminded me of boumsong.

[Andy]

Couldn't give a shite if he can or can't pass the ball, but I hate seeing passive defending, especially from a CB. Backing off, turning your back on shots, falling asleep on corners. Just not good enough.

 

None of the above is excused by "he's 17th choice" or "he was a free transfer" either. He's a premier league footballer. 

[Ronaldo]

He signed on a free from Bournemouth. He was never going to be starting material. 

[HaydnNUFC]

Don't rate him. He's a free transfer from Bournemouth at the end of the day.

[Amir_9]

Pure Ashley era style signing this guy in every way shape and form.

 

Like a modern day Danny fucking Simpson or some shit.

 

In no man's land when they nearly went 3-0 up today as well. Stinker of a performance, can only go upwards from here for him surely.

He’s not that good.

The problem is he doesn't look capable of even stand-in material. We've had Lascelles and Krafth come in and do a job when called on, this lad doesn't even look like a centre half. I'm sure he's better than what we've seen so far, but he looks like a deer in headlights at the moment.

[Erikse]

From the start it felt like a signing that would be decent for what we used to be pre takeover, or for what Bournemouth used to be when Howe was there. One of those that we would've been hoping to move on a couple of years into the new ownership if he was here when we got taken over. He's a squad player, but I really hope the wages aren't as crazy as some of the reports say. Even Krafth at CB seems better so far, like..

yeah, was gonna say… that’s Premier League winning right back Danny Simpson you’re dissing there. 

 

This guy is more like the Dan Gosling of defensive signings.
