Genuinely why is our recruitment so good? He was playing CL football so not under the radar by any means. Do we just have the right environment to allow good players to succeed and become great players or is our recruitment the best in the world?
Xen Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 49 minutes ago, Shane said: Surely he will get September player of the month? The last defenders to win the award were: TAA - Dec '19 VVD - Dec '18 Vertonghen - Mar '13 Luiz - Mar '11 and then, weirdly, Jagielka - Feb '09 Vidic - Jan '09 Young - Dec '08 Young - Sep '08 Young - Apr '08 TAA has been the media's favourite for ages (and basically plays midfield anyway) and VVD won player of the year that year. Otherwise, defenders just don't get a look in, lately. As much as Castagne probably deserves it, it'll go to Calvert-Lewin purely for his goal tally (Vardy matched it but has had 4 pens).

The best RB in Europe. Is this some kind of macabre joke? The best RB in Europe unable to make our team? 😂
Vardinio'sCat Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Outstanding start, he must have 3 lungs or something. Like all Belgian's, he is trained to get his head up as much as possible.

Seems to me the club culture created by Vichai and nurtured by the likes of Wes, Kasper, JV, Fuchs, Albrighton, James, Kingy et al give new players confidence and feel involved. Belvoir Drive must be a good place to work at.

Wolfox Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 And to think everyone was getting giddy about Tagliafico because he had a funkier sounding name… We got the right man…

I think that definitely is a large part of it and most players look like they enjoy being part of the group and that definitely creates a real togetherness. I do think we recruit in the Fergie mould by making sure we're bringing the right personalities into the club as well as the talent as I can't think of any bad eggs we've had since Beckford.
Chrysalis Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 someone posted this elsewhere https://giphy.com/gifs/0zpsuA95IwZBzpPdJh brilliant, also is noticeable is how much tielemans has improved since he came in as well.

If they are comfortable playing on both sides it could cause all sorts of problems for other team and mean we don’t need to worry about playing them in fixed left or right back positions. His confidence is amazing, he keeps winning the ball again and again, and his calmness and football brain are right up there.
AyewJoking Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Castagne genuinely looks like he can play for anyone, like ricardo. We really were lucky to sign such players.
Guest Manini Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Looks like another one of those where you just shake your head and think, how have we ended up with him? He looks the dogs. Sensational start to the season.
foxfanazer Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Name me a better signing for any club this season?
splinterdream Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 will he play on the left? will he play as well there? or will ricardo play on the left? is he actually better than ricardo?
hejammy Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 From the first three outings i would say its the best player in the first three games since signing ever. I don't know any other player who has made such an impact in the first 3 games. Perhaps Stan Collymore?
Ric Flair Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 That chump who manages Atalanta is a twat

Max Power Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Cracking player - so dynamic in everything he does. End product Chilwell can only dream of as well.

Bezzanator89 Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Can we just sign Belgians from now on? This lad is an absolute gem. Clean sheets, goals, assists. What more can you ask from him after 3 games? Early shout for player of the season. No disrespect to JJ whatsoever, because he has been fab this season and is getting better, but Timothy Castagne and Ricardo Pereira as a pair of wing backs are stuff that dreams are made of.
