Popular Post ian__marshall Posted 21 December 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 21 December 2020 Got to admit I really like the guy. After all he's been through with us you never hear him moan and he always seems to play with a smile on his face. Add to that the fact that he's actually a pretty decent player and what's not to like. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Big Dan has all the attributes to be a top class CB in my opinion. If we can keep him fit it is like a new signing. There would be no need to immediately go and get another CB in January. He also adds more height in our set piece woes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only surprise I have is that this seemingly wasn’t recognised before? I’ve said on here time over I don’t rate Amartey the player. As a bloke he seems good as gold BUT, I think he’s improved AND if he plays, it’s gotta be at CB. That’s where he seems most natural. RB or DM.. not in a month of Sunday’s, but as CB cover, no problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Amartey in a 5 is a great option to have. Wouldn't feel too comfortable with him in a 4. Every side pushing for the top 6 needs a few versatile, reliable players and it feels that we have one in Amartey - just got to keep him fit now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree (no surprise there). Personally I wouldn’t like Amartey to be starting many Prem games and if we need another regular first teamer I’d buy one Amartey is ok but he scares me when he plays. He’s an athlete, big, great in the air but positionally I’ve always thought can be suspect. I think he’s ok cover. Nothing more imo At least I’ve been consistent in this view. If we take some of the comments that have been made on here re the likes of Justin and Pérez... now there’s inconsistency Edited 21 December 2020 by Col city fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more imo I think having ok cover is alright though - there's no way we can afford outstanding cover all over the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Big Dan has all the physical attributes. But he has never demonstrated the footballer brain. He is limited there and will only be a squad player at best for us - which is okay, as we need those. The poor lad looked like a 13 year old boy in a lap dancing club playing a CDM. Utterly bemused by everything running around him and no idea what to do first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 3 or 4 displays where he was awesome. Swansea was one and another one in the champions league. He was dire at times but so was the rest of the team at that point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 I'll reserve judgement because he's never had a long run of games as that's when you can really judge a players worth. seems to me some people are too quick to judge based on irregular bit part performances. I often feel that if a player has a great start he will forever be rated highly and excused errors, the complete opposite seems happens to players who start poorly they are forever having to justify their inclusion and every error is highlighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 A) He always looks happy as a pig in mud to be playing. B) He's done really well to come back from his leg break. C) He's really improved on the ball since Brendan came in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was starting to look decent in his only run of games and then he went and broke his ankle. Same could be said with Mendy and so far this season he's proven to be great to have in the squad. Amartey is a great option to have in the squad, just hope he can stay injury free and prove that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
