Popular Post Vardinio'sCat Posted 17 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 17 June 2018 (edited) Really hope Drago gets a good deal somewhere (given he isn't coming back), he did all we could ask of him this season. I guess it is mainly the bargain that is Johnny Evans has stopped us giving those all important assurances of playing time to Drago, because we clearly could afford him. I've never seen a pair of Leicester CB's play like Maguire/Drago did, let's hope our new arrivals can deliver such calmness and quality. Edited 17 June 2018 by Vardinio'sCat fine tuning 5

Dragovic played well when he was brought into the team but he wasn't the second coming of Paulo Maldini! 13

He just goes a bit ma-ma-ma-ma-mad from time to time. It's kinda fun in a way, like a lottery or summat. We'll all want to be Benny's mate again when he puts Kane or Alli out for 6 months.

Sorry if that came out gushy (it was late), but we have never played two ball playing centre backs, as far as I can remember. Evans is also tidy with the ball, so I'm hopeful going forward. We did look a completely different side for that brief period, perhaps it stood out to me because of the contrast with our other options in that position. 1

Absolutely this, obviously that wasn't so clear from my post. All the others mentioned are/were great players for us, but none were that comfy knocking it around. I guess the Bloomfield sides would be one instance when we might have played like that, but although I saw a few games in the 70's, i don't remember much about the games tactically. I want to keep that style if possible, more than I want Drago (much as I like him), hopefully Evans will craft a similar understanding with Maguire. Edited 18 June 2018 by Vardinio'sCat 1
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 June 2018 Posted 26 June 2018 Certainly sounds as though he wont be back. Sounds annoyed at getting dropped when Morgan returned, last season. WHU and Everton, still look front runners. A snip at the reported £15,000,000 fee.

Morgan should of been no where near the team and its a disgrace he walked back in. 10

And £15m is probably too much to spend on a reserve centre half who couldn't get in front of Morgan last year for whatever reason. People talk about Dragovic like it was Franco Baresi who couldn't get a game, he was an adequate centre half nothing spectacular at all. 4

Every chance that Evans or Maguire will be out for a few games so we need a centre back as cover who is almost as good as them. That doesn't include Morgan or anyone else at the club.

I liked the look of Dragovic but to be honest he didn't really play enough (and against decent enough opposition) for any of us to really evaluate how good he was. I do think we need another CB though, hopefully we'll sign someone.

Also in terms of the greatest defenders ever …. Baresi was certainly the best I've ever seen , the way he could read the game and snuff out offensive threats was a master class to watch. 3

jock2612 Posted 26 June 2018 Posted 26 June 2018 I was hoping CP would play three at back. Think AG would have been perfect in that role. Really believe it would have been one of the best back three in the Prem
Albert Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Decent player that didn’t really get a proper chance. For £20m there’s better value out there 1
Gazza M Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 I'm not convinced he had enough physical presence to be honest.

CosbehFox Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Off to Atalanta, be very surprised if they are paying £20 million for him
