Ian Nacho Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 The last player we signed from Atalanta turned out to be one hell of a singing... 2
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 I watched the standard YouTube video. He looks very tidy and mobile. But he was almost entirely at RB for the whole montage. Is he really the no.1 in our LB search?
moore_94 Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 (edited) Riccy P was converted from Right Side and was playing Left Back at Nice, no reason the same cant be done with Castagne Edited 31 August 2020 by moore_94

Dahnsouff Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 This guy, along with JJ, we would have both sides safely covered.

Nick Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Is he quite simply a utility player that may well start in a variety of positions? He can cover everywhere on the pitch we are short except striker!

Think this provides an insight on the current transfer market - we probably have a few irons in the fire for full-backs and Castagne was holding out for a move to Spurs which now leaves us as his best option. I expect this is most likely the situation with a number of our targets.
TommyK Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 In the you tube clips he plays left back too. But looks very right footed.
BrianBeane Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Would be very happy with this. A player with his level of versatility could be really useful with such a crowded fixture list and European involvement this season. Good signs that Kristof is tweeting about this too, he is usually on the ball with Belgian news. 2
StanSP Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 I like the sound of this. Would give me a bit more confidence with our back line having the full back position covered. Now just need a decent centre back to deputise whenever Evans/Soyuncu aren't about. And some wingers/strikers. Could be a busy week!
Nicolo Barella Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 If this goes through, it will confuse me almost as much as Doherty to Spurs has. 1
Tanya Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Why are we signing a lad who mostly plays on the right?
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 31 August 2020 Popular Post Posted 31 August 2020 I think a player with the ability to play four positions could be an absolute godsend this season 17
Silva Fox Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Just now, Tanya said: Why are we signing a lad who mostly plays on the right? Presumably to provide short term cover at LB for a season or two then long term replacement for Ricardo at RB. Also gives us flexibility in both positions, same as JJ. 2
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Wtf? We’re buying someone for the Only position we don’t need?!? underwhelmed if true. 2

SecretPro Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Brendan loves to play half the squad out of position. 1
TommyK Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Both Justin and this guy can play on both sides and we have Fuchs and Thomas on the left. I think we're covered. 1
brucey Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Ricky has played LB before hasn't he? So Justin LB Castagne RB until Ricky is back, then Ricky can play LB if this guy is incapable of it. Plus getting a replacement in early is good for when we sell Ricky next summer
mozartfox Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Ffs just gerimmin. We can worry about where to play him later. That's a minor detail 1
TMELcfc Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 I think he’s played wing back more often for Atalanta ... I get the impression Brendan wants to go 3-5-2 but he’s going to need to sign another centre back for that...
