Mountain Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 He speaks 5 languages and it shows, he comes across as intelligent and a cool customer, which is exactly what you want in a modern CB. We seem to have a knack of signing bright players. Even Anthony Gordon who was labelled thick initially comes across very well in interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NufcJ Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 Getting really good vibes from him in these videos. Fully trust Eddie and the coaching staff to create a monster out of him. Might be a steal for what we paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 You can see why Fergie wanted his players to be settled and married etc. Just brings such a different maturity and focus IMO. 5 languages, religious, wife and kids, played in two countries already. Hes 24. Obviously none of that can count for anything but it certainly lends itself to good character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 Sounds like a good intelligent young man. Huge bonus that his English is so good. Get him coached into how we play and he looks like he has all attributes needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 I love this man already, seeing a guy who is so overtly humbled and grateful to be here goes down very well. Especially since he's just came from a club many consider to be football royalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
