A decent enough player but not THAT good a crosser and a bit suspect when it comes to positioning. Hope he's cheap as a three year deal seems excessive.
His defending can be a bit suspect at times but hey ho that's the same for rangel,davies,ash and chico so he is in good company isn't he ? His strength for me is his technical ability,he doesn't lose the ball often and can take players on one on one,which is a real strength imo. I really liked the way Laudrup used him and rangel in tandom,that is a great option as we saw at wigan away but even in the arsenal game at the emirates they were running rings around the opposition so that is an interesting bonus for us. I wish him well and I hope he gives the place a boost in terms of adding competition for places.
Agreed Norway. In some games when we need to shut up shop we could even use Ben/Taylor on the left and Tiendalli/Rangel on the right.
fickle fans or what...Some fans don't half make me laugh... .when he was going to leave he was rubbish and not worth it...what's changed all of a sudden...He is a tidy player just like all our players and i for one am glad he is with us...
Yes please do Dai because I don't recall anybody wishing the bloke would **** off ! some may have been a bit pissed off at him not agreeing a deal but the reason for that is because he was a good player for us. I cant think of one poster who disliked Tiendalli that much that they didn't want him to stay at Swansea. Maybe its more of your bullshit mate ?
Tend to agree with this but I'm still glad we signed him because I think he has it in him to improve.
the tune changes to the situation..When he was leaving fans were saying they were glad but hey its all changed now as he is staying and he is a good player again
Another thread derailed by the same person. Dai if your gonna make accusations then back them up with evidence, don't just spout **** for the sake of it. Everyone is tired of it.
"When he was leaving fans were saying they were glad" Sorry Dai but not on this forum as far as I'm aware. Good to see him back but I do have trouble of thinking of him as a defender. I see him as a decent attacking option which is a bit weird for a defender. Has more pace than Rangel but then again so does my Mother-in-Law and she's got a gammy leg.
I mentioned in a thread early this year I think that I actually rate the guy, very good attacking wide defender, not sure which one of you agreed with me
