Well he ain’t. Okay he’s not a solid CB like VVD, but he’s still good enough at defending. You don’t play as a CB for a decade at the top without being able to defend. As I mentioned, he’s also able to play the ball out of defence, which is something we badly lacked last season.
You certain that’s the reason and nothing to do with Juventus not wanting to sell? Think carefully before answering, mate.
Who gives a **** about that ? You were giving it the big un about signing Dybala and my ‘laughing in your face’ coming back to haunt me. And almost the second you wrote that. It came back to haunt you
He’s a banter player for sure. But he’ll be better at the back for us that either Kos or Mustafi. So it’s an improvement for us until Saliba comes in
He's not solid at all. Very erratic in fact. But he is typical of a modern Brazilian defender in that he is fantastic going forward, but suspect positionally. I think a lot of it has to do with how he's used so it will be interesting to see how Unai integrates him into the side. Watched Chelsea beat Manchester City at Stamford Bridge last season and he was rock solid. I think next season will be very interesting.
No, Pix. That’s not how it happened. I said that Dybala would rather come to us for less than go to United. You scoffed at that, and then the player almost immediately issued a “come and get me” plea to Levy. Levy is trying his best, but it looks as though Juventus is determined to block the lad’s dream move to Spurs. The point is that you scoffed far too soon, and it has returned to bite you on the backside. Admit it.
That’s one option for us. I think Emery’s prefers a flat back 4 with attacking wingbacks. But if we get Tierney then our left flank has some great options with Tierney/Kolasinac/Pepe/Aubameyang
