hackneyfox Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 It's what they do on the pitch that counts, couldn't give a flying one what they do off the pitch (within reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 There are a lot of positives on paper: He is 26 Knows the Premier League well French International 18 Million is about right, considering Schlupp went for 12 He is left footed and quicker than Wes and Huth Negatives are that he has had some injury issues and the wages will likely be 100k p/w His attitude has also been brought into question, although I have read a lot about him being a very positive voice in the dressing room and a real leader. He has also been described as clumbsy and lacking technical ability to be a top CB. Having said all that, if he wasn't occassionally clumbsy or lacking in some areas, we would not have a chance of signing him, and he would still be starting for Liverpool or be going to a bigger club somewhere else, for a bigger fee. We are in desperate need of a CB and yes he is not without his faults, but even with those, he is a step up in quality in what we already have and I feel more positive after reading about his personality in the dressing room. He will obviously have a point to prove and his energy alone, is something we have been crying out for in defence. I'm on board with this one. I saw enough good performances from him at Liverpool to suggest he could really help us in our current situation. Sign Nastasic too and that is our starting CB pairing for next few seasons! (although both left footed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 He is head and shoulders above what we have now. People saying no are hilarious. Can't see it happening but would be ideal.

I think a combination of things have seen him be pushed out by Liverpool and he has been unfortunate. I don't think he is a top 4 club player, but he is not far off and more than capable for us.

Think it wouldn't take too long though. '...Sakho has played the majority of games in Premier League 2, helping Liverpool’s U23s to third in the table, but is unlikely to feature again as the club seek to offload him permanently in the January transfer window. I think they have had a massive influence,” Virtue said ahead of Monday’s 7pm kick-off at Anfield. I think we were all surprised how professional he (Sakho) has been and how serious he has been in training. It can be a problem when a first-team player comes down and doesn’t really want to be here but he’s managed himself very well and especially in the games we’ve all learned from him. He is a top player, captained France and captained PSG, and all you can do from those players is learn. He has been where we all want to get to.' All positive stuff again. Didn't know he had captained France, He is no mug, that's for sure. 18 million is worth it, even if there are doubters. Hopeful the "mystery man" is him and not another winger!

ScouseFox Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 know people who've met him and know of all the great stuff he's done in the city. cannot believe (well, i can, people are fu cking stupid) anyone wouldn't think he's an amazing guy. he's also a great footballer. this would be sensational.

GeorgeTheFox Posted 16 January 2017 Share Posted 16 January 2017 I'm warming to this one. Not a massive fan of his but I'm also not sure we could get anyone better. Would probably benefit in our CB role of a deep line, and not being asked to be a ball-playing CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
