Santon- An interesting article........

A very good piece on our latest aquisition.....

http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/eurovi...-rise-fall-and-re-birth-of-davide-santon.aspx

Good overview of his career to date. If he can re-capture his form we could have a superstar on our hands looking at the comments he was picking up early in his career..... Seems to have taken a bit of a confidence knock, lets hope we can pick him back up, at 21 a cracking prospect who has already accomplished much in his career so far.

Closing statement is a good one.... the New Maldini or the New Pistone......

 

So we are signing exwonderkids with confidence issues. Not bad

 

He's 20, he's still got a long career ahead of him, writing him off now is ridiculous!

 

Wasnt writing him off. Just repeating whats been reported.

 

Only thing is, despite him being a brilliant signing, you can't really change a game from left back. No doubt he'll definatly strengthen the team and i'm very happy to have him here but I doubt he'll make a huge difference on our final finshing position

 

I know, but some articles online seem to write him off because he couldn't get back into the Inter squad. I actually believe Pardew can build his confidence.

 

I think so to along with Obertan. We could be on our way to a even better defence and play down the wings

 

They're both good deals thinking about it. Bought on the cheap with low confidence and huge potential, build up their confidence, get a few years of outstanding play from them, sell them for a huge profit if we're not top 4 by then.

 

I saw his interview on NufcTV and I was really impressed - he said it has been his dream to play in the Premier League and Newcastle is a great move for him. He also said he has always been very keen to learn English and hopes to pick the language up quickly

 

Lets put our trust in Carr

 

im sick of the santon transfer already... every where u look someone has a tale to tell about him and his career.. i dont give a **** about the past few years of his career. all i care for is what he does in an nufc shirt.

 

He seems like a canny lad. Even in his Chronicle interview he comes across as wanting to be here long term. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newc...66/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

 

He doesn't speak any English though, his interview was all Italian.
