The_77 Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 26 Tackles in 36 games.... whoscored.com has him on 1.1 tackles per game but either way, his stats ain't bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 26 Tackles in 36 games.... Not far off Morgan & Huth really, who won 34 & 31 tackles last season. Also Hernandez made almost double the amount of interceptions of Huth. (Hernandez 140 interceptions, Huth 76, Morgan, 95). This is a good signing I can feel it !

floz Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 A Spanish journo is not so impressed: orge Ordas, Eurosport.es : "To be honest the transfer has been a little bit surprising for us. He’s not one of the best 15 defenders in La Liga and not even close to the top 10 that includes the likes of Ramos, Pique, Godin… He announced he'd leave Sporting after the last game of the season, but we'd never have dreamt he'd end up on a Champions League adventure with the Premier League champions. "Football-wise, he’s a good defender, not really brilliant at any specific thing, but good in all. He’s not a very good scorer (no goals this season), but he’s a leader in the group and not bad at driving the ball from the defence zone to the attack zone. "It's a complete unknown what will happen with him in the Premier League. Maybe he'll be the next big surprise of the ever-surprising Leicester…" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo86 Posted 21 June 2016 Share Posted 21 June 2016 He has signed but it won't be formal until the transfer window officially opens on July 1. I didn't know that it was closed so I learnt something today. He has top pass stats so will fit the quick break kind of football we happen to love. It should be noted that as a central defender he also plays in the RB position so I'd guess his way to break into the team is to displace Simpson. He won't join until the 1st July because his contract doesn't run out until 30th June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't give a shit if he scores goals, he's a leader who has good long passing ability and is defensively solid. He's a proper centre back. Clearly the Spanish journo hasn't seen how we play, we aren't after a John Stones fancy boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty decent for a player playing for a team like Gijon. He sounds perfect for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we've announced it. I still have a feeling he somehow died, which explains the wait and now the lack of a picture of him wearing the shirt.
