Yeah for sure, I think my concerns stemmed from him statistically being one of the worst progressive CBs in France and then also in England for west ham. It's just not his game and I worry about replacing oniens ability to start counters with someone who's the opposite. A few West ham fans have said they think it's a great signing as long as he's not in a low block, not really sure how they expect us to play.
I can’t make that comment now because I think he has a very high ceiling and a full pre season might mean he does he’s tall, strong in a tackle, I feel he reads a game pretty well. If he stays fit he could become class
That Jacob horsfall said Hartman is the best LB out of the promoted teams I’d probably have him third
Huge huge risk for me hes hardly played and just back from a massive injury i dont think theres a chance the club risk it anyway. Can see him going out on loan end of august when the other lads are back
In all honesty I don’t know how I expect us to play, educated guess is low blow though and rapid counter based on our signings so far, think we’re half way to being a solid side so a good starting block given its early July, just excited for what’s to come
What if he’s absolutely immense in pre season and shows his knee isn’t bothering him? I just don’t think we can make that call yet personally
I do rate Seelt highly but think he needs a year of week in week out football then we re-assess, get him in the championship for me, get kicked and come back a better player for it
Yeah probably same, but if they're playing a back 5 I like it a tad more because he's so protected playing at feyenoord - and hasn't really been the same since his injury (although they'd probably say the same about Rei)
He is..but as I said, he's not PL ready... I could be proved wrong and hope I am... But I wouldn't like to take the risk...we are playing in the best league in the world now against some of the best strikers..we don't need untested defenders
Probably not for me, probably being harsh on Aguerd but he's never really impressed me I'd love a real x factor cb - can't think of names just yet but a potentially elite cb - then someone like Cresswell If we signed Aguerd and he was our starter I'd definitely be really worried about AFCON
Aguerd is also really injury prone so that would be a cause for concern, it's just a deal I don't really see happening
