Ric Flair Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 Looks a man mountain, although wikipedia says he's only 6ft. Never seen him play, seems to score a few though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 Big, physical center half who has a few goals in him. Basically a better then Wes insurance policy you wouldn’t expect to dislodge Evans, Soyuncu or Benkovic as a starter but would be acceptable in case of injury. 28, as good as he’s going to be. I’d think somewhere in the 5-7 million range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post volpeazzurro Posted 30 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2019 Why buy yet another squad player? IF Rodgers doesn't think West, Benkovic or Souyuncu are up to it if Maguire goes we need better than what we've got (considerable money spent on last two). If Lazio only wanted 5 or 7 million he really can't be up to much in much slower not very good league. Buying for buyings sake, a forum filler. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 Simple. He does think Soyuncu and Benkovic are up to it but wants insurance in case they get hurt or he’s wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Raw Dykes Posted 30 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2019 I'd much rather we take a punt on someone like this than blow £45m on someone like Dunk. There's no way Dunk is around 8 or 9 times better than this fella, and they're the same age. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we re-sign Graham Cross than spunk 45M on Dunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMELcfc Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 As far as YouTube videos go... that’s terrible. Should’ve given two pens away! Looks worse than what we already have but confess to never seeing him until those clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 .. uses his body very aggressively as per Soyuncu, pretty risky way of defending!! Looks like a converted midfielder the way he carries the ball which is quite impressive. Not seen his ability to head the ball and that would be a big part of defensive responsibility and also at set pieces. This is an interesting one... his price could be a factor, if we are looking to take a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analysethis Posted 30 July 2019 Share Posted 30 July 2019 That vid is about 4 years old LOL! If that is as good as wecoulddig up then I`d keep away. BTW he may have been 23 when this was taken but I hope his positioning has improved as he looked all over the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think somewhere in the 5-7 million range. Agree with the idea and your thoughts But...28 -30, that's when quality CBs start to peak..then with a good 5-8 years in front of them. ..one could say a potential future WES. I don't know really how the market will work out...if these silly millions for above AVG. Players will continue!! But at present it seems for clubs like Leicester £12-25 will become the over the top prices. Look at Perez for £30mil. That's why it's still imperative we carry on with the 2 sided youth policy.. Developing our own,or investing in outside young players then developing them...We ain't either Man.ciy,Liverpool, Chelsea Money wise,nor Spurs and Arsenal catchment area of London and still high finances..... We went crazy after the title,and paid the cost....of having and still paying for poor investment...But nobody at the time could foresee it!! We can't just go on the blame trail every time..Overall our transfer deals since mahrez until now,still runs in the positive ,or holding their own...Our owners and management had also to learn. The owners can Pay for the odd 1-3 top named players,and higher quality squad-fillers with risks. Top teams can carry their bad lemons transfer deals,clubs like Leicester just can't afford to throw money around. Our owners are willing to put the money down,but don't belong to the high rollers...." Thankfully" Because I think it's the PL middle clubs,that will make the market find its level..There is always those seasons of reckless stupidity in the market!! Plus...the RMs ,Barcelona's man.city,PSG.Manutd are a few. Look at Germany Bayern,Dortmund, Italians can't really afford it!! Though they may have started in the 60s the high transfers- boom won't or can't get involved in this contradictory FFP corrupt racket,of moral lying to its Football associations & WWide fans..
