    Yennaris has always done pretty well as far as I am concerned. He is a decent player. His real strength is that he is very consistent. Not spectacular by any means but usually does his job, and is a real grafter. I think he still has a hope of "making it" and I think you have a good addition there.

    Miquel, has not been good. He has had his opportunities and usually screwed up. The fact that we are so short of CBs and are willing to move this guy out, when he has been with us so long, speaks volumes for me. Has the potential to be a Squlliaci signing for you guys, watch out.

    If Miquel plays at CB he will be quality for you. He got crucified by Drogba yesterday playing at LB, I actually felt sorry for him. His confidence is probably at rock bottom so who knows how things will turn out but if he showed the promise he did 1 year ago then he will be a good signing for you.

    Miquel is a decent CB NOT a LB.
    Yennaris has been looking good for the reserves so he should be able to do well with you guys.

    Wow, lol, the first time I see you speak negatively about a player, you're usually so positive!

    Yennaris is okay, but needs game time so this is a good move.
    Miquel I think will make a top quality CB one day. He is a good reader of the game and has skill on the ball. He is a CB in the mould of Maldini and Nesta, ball playing CBs who don't rely on speed or braun, but who have finer qualities. He has a long way to go to reach those dizzy heights, but the raw talent is there, he also needs game time to develop his skills.

    Miquel - Has potential to be a decent enough CB. Only problem is that he is a biot slow and can get bullied. Never play him at LB, but thankfully for you, Wenger is not your manager.

    Yennairs - Decent player who play in midfield or at full back. Strong little player and has a great attitude on him. Not tested outside reserve level, so it's hard to judge just how good he is.

    Yep, I wouldn't say he has no chance of making it or that he is useless, but I am not a fan of his. Maybe he will come good. I am not always right.

    We had Michael Keane on loan from Man U last year. He played very well but he got bullied abit at times

    He would be playing alongside Wes Morgan who is a complete tank and he got voted the best defender in the league last season so he would have an experienced player next to him.

    Don't worry about him playing left back. Our manager plays our striker there <ok>

    Miquel i still hope is going to come good, i think he has the raw attributes, he just needs to refine his ability. Hope he does well on his loan move and earns himself a new contract.

    We have started to play a 532 formation so Miquel would be one of 3 centre halfs

    He'll probably do well as part of 3 CB's as he isn't the fastest and relies more on his reading of the game. With the other two to rush down defenders he will clear up well i think.

    I dont rate Miquel.

    Fed up with Lightweight technical centrebacks. He's tall so maybe he will bulk up a little though.


    Yennaris has looked decent.

    Maybe playing as the middle one of the 3 he would be OK, but I wouldn't want him covering wide, in behind the wing-back.
