Santon- can you remember us having a better full back in recent years?

    The lad is a beast.
    Head and shoulders above Jose.
    Sexy bastard too.

    Who would compliment him better, Debuchy or Pieters?

    I'd leave him on the left and get MD for the right.

    Lad was head and shoulders above everyone else tonight. Looking really good now so lets get Debuchy in and then we should have a great defence in Krul. Saylor, Colo and Santon.

    The lad on loan from Chelski wasn't bad!

    We'd probably still lump it long towards Ba and Cisse.

    Cracking full back. I personally think Jose was every bit as good for us. After last weekend, it looks like Liverpool are getting the real Jose now. Shame we don't have both!

    I don't agree. He can't defend crosses for ****. Jose was immense in this instance. All the opposition have to do is cross it from their left, our right, to the back post and Santon hasn't got a chance of winning the ball.

    He needs to be played right back because we are far too narrow.

    Now don't gang up on me because I actually think he's good but his defensive ability is no where near the level of Jose's

    He is a right back so I think you have to accept he will struggle on crossing from that side. Still a quality left back but I'm a big believer in balance. One of the reasons I'd prefer a left back to Debuchy. Not that I'd knock signing Debuchy, he's a good player. I just think we have three or 4 right backs in the squad already whereas we have two right backs who can play left back but no natural left footed left backs. Just seems common sense to me. Jose was fantastic for us.

    Ah, Arnold. I liked him too. Him at LB and Santon at RB would be good. Where is Arnold now?


    (And I don't mean the "Watchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" Arnold)

    Jose was far less consistent though.
