He’s more of a defensive midfielder. I can’t see him not starting much with the fee we’ve paid. Unless we are going to bring in another midfielder. He’s just left champions league football for us
I actually think Sadiki is really composed in possession and press resistant, certainly not just an engine in the middle and could earn his spot in pre season.
This is a good read @FellTop https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/64...nd-transfer-noah-sadiki-union-saint-gilloise/
Of course it's a big fee but I'd like to think nobody is guaranteed a spot, get even Rigg might impress more than Diarra and earn his spot - need everywhere up for grabs.
Yeah I like him in possession, his energy is the big plus point but he isn't just a runner Still needs fine tuning but you'd expect that from a 20 yr old Another very exciting player for the now and future
Got 4 of Jeremy Clarkson lagers chilling in the fridge for tomorrow's teatime get together... heard good reports
Lets see mate. I dont think champions league is a barometer anymore, there is some low quality there. The level he is coming from isnt the best, in my opinion anyway. He looks a good prospect, with plenty going for him, I just think he is going to need time to adjust. Reinaldo and Diarra are coming from much higher levels and I think they will slot in. For me the pace of the game is so important in terms of players experience when coming to England. La Liga and to a lesser extent Ligue 1 are good leagues to come from.
Perfect type of player for Regis to mould, excited to see what he can do for us. Think the fans will love him.
Not saying he is poor, but I do think he needs to improve that side of his game. Maybe should watch more of him. He just looks to lack some vision when receiving and his touch can limit his next play. Not a tough thing to coach, all about body shape. Lets see, happy we have him.
I also think he may start the season on the bench but come into it more late autumn. But he might blow everyone away in pre season. it doesn’t matter either way - gonna be a cracking player
