"To be a right-footed left-back, you've got to have confidence and he has. "But he's two-footed, he's very two-footed. I'd say possibly his right's stronger, but overall I'd say he's very two-footed and I think the manager's made a good decision there to buy him."
Sounds like Pedro needed a box of tissues while watching this one!!!! All sounds very promising, hope he get's up to speed with the English game quickly like all the other players we have brought in.
Is he match fit yet? Will he be on the bench and make his debut against Wolves this weekend? I can't wait to see him!
Think he will be a top player for us but comparisons with Maldini were exactly what crushed him at Inter and twice now Beardsley's said the same thing.
He's in the squad. Think he might come off the bench if we're leading comfortably in the second half.
Davide Santon will be part of the Newcastle United squad which travels to Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday. from the official website.
So if all goes well we could have Santon, Marveaux and HBA coming on for the last 15-20 mins. **** me, there's some pace to use against a tired defence!
Now here is the thing! I have heard from people (might be Italians lol) that Santon is already a similar ability to Enrique and will progress to be far superior to him....... From what little I have seen of him, I agree!!
Would still probably prefer him at right back than left then get Pieters, Cissokho or somebody like that to play on the left
would love us to get pieters in jan and play santon RB our team would be a hell of a lot stronger with good cover
