If we sold Haidara I'd be beyond happy. I'd do ****ing cartwheels naked across the town moor.

Bristol City will sign Willo, heard it here first. Get your money on :biggrin:

Not just that, but the exact same template as before - under 26, sell on value, zero PL experience.

Haidara has been decent so far this season I think. I think we need another full back on both sides but l'm sticking up for Haidara on recent evidence.

Doesn't seem likely. ManU have one keeper more and 30 million euro's less than they expected to. A big money move for a keeper wouldn't make a lot of sense
 
Less than five hours til we're lumbered with Gouff, Obertan, Willo and Riviere for at least four more months.

But Liverpool have offloaded Balloteli and Borini and hve Sturridge injured, so they might put in a cheeky late £30m bid for Riviere. <fingersctossedsmiley>

Wouldn't go that far but its a start. I'd rather play Dummett than Haidara who is turdier than a very turdy thing. Better still lets just sign a left back who is of PL standard. [HASHTAG]#revolutionary[/HASHTAG]

Haidara is better than dummet in all areas bar long balls

Should have gone to specsavers <laugh>

He was decent 2nd half against Arsenal, I will concede that. Horror show on the opening day vs Southampton. Cost us points. Poor vs Swansea although not alone. Shocking 20min spell against Man U but settled down. Terrible first half against Arsenal, same old problem, him an Colo getting pulled all over the shop. Only Arsenal's lack of killer instinct saved us.

In every game he miscontrols the ball like a Sunday league footballer, and skews into the stand trying to clear the ball. He regularly plays passes where no one has made a run, and his crossing is about 1 in 10 (usually a good one when it comes off to be fair) I accept the lad is trying and has decent spells in games, but if you can't manage one good full 90 mins out of the 4 games so far, that for me is just not good enough.

Him and Colo are massive concerns for me, as is our ball retention.

Don't rate Dummett but he is a much better defender than Haidara on all known evidence. I'm all for modern full backs etc, as long as they can defend first and foremost. Dummett is actually ok at defending. His positional sense is decent. Haidara's is akin to asking a semi ******ed giraffe to play left back.

Regardless you are ignoring the real issue, neither of them is good enough. Why settle for a less ****e version of something? Hardly progressive thinking.
 
Plus I'd argue Haidara is better at long balls. He got that pass down the line he skewed almost into the back of the very top of the East Stand on Saturday. It may have not gone a long way in the right direction, but it went a ****ing long way up and left

Also ask yourself this honestly about Haidara - would he get into any sides in the league?

Arsenal - Gibbs, Monreal
Man U - Shaw, Rojo
Man C - Clichy, Kolarov
Chelsea - Baba, Azpilicueta
Swansea - Taylor, Tabanou
Southampton - Bertrand, Targett
Liverpool - Gomez, Moreno
Spurs - Dier, Rose
Everton - Baines, Oviedo
Palace - Soare, Ward
Leicester - Schulpp
West Ham - Cresswell
Villa - Amavi, Bennett
Stoke - Pieters
Norwich - Olsson
WBA - Pocognoli, Lescott
Bournemouth - Cook, Mings

Hand on heart I think he'd be struggling with the above. Most even have 2 better than him. Ok Sunderland and Watford but otherwise. That can't be good enough for us surely?
