brookfox Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 It's probably the sensible albeit slightly unglamorous option. Plus with him, Ndidi and Soumare in the side it should give us that extra bit of steel for the more direct teams in the league. Bit down to see he's just turned 29 as it means there's little sell on value but there you go.
adam1 Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 If we sign him, chucking a tenner on saints being relegated wouldn't be a stupid idea.
Larry_LCFC Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 Saints fans seem desperate to sell him. Not a lot of love for him their end at all. The most common comparison seems to be a lamppost 1

He is a solid player who I'm glad has managed to work his way back to fitness but he's never going to be a regular here. Hmmmm. I remember in the games he did play in the latter half of last season he was the only CD interested in passing between the lines, and he was pretty good at it. At the same time I don't see expansive passing as something either Evans or Soyuncu excel at. The latter tries and it can come off, but his mid range passing (esp off his left foot) is very hit and miss
Popular Post EnderbyFox Posted 9 August 2021 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2021 Southampton were joint second best in terms of least goals conceded from set-peices last season, I imagine Vestergaard was a big part of that. In comparison, we seemed to concede from every single corner Get him in for that alone. 4 2

Yep and he is slow but playing him alongside probably the quickest centre back in the league in soyuncu should compensate that.
Popular Post Dan Posted 9 August 2021 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2021 If we were even average at set pieces last year we'd have probably been comfortably in the Champions League. We were so hopeless to the point you feared we'd concede from our corners rather than score from them. Been a major weakness under Rodgers (and for years before in all honesty) 8 1
Aleksz Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 Easy to say this considering they see more of him then we do, but I think they’re being very harsh. Was the form defender for a couple of months in the league last season for them and I thought he was very impressive for Denmark (in a much better team!) As others have said he addresses a lot of our weaknesses and I think he’ll be a great fit here and good value for money. 1

Been a major weakness under Rodgers (and for years before in all honesty) Just what i was about to say, just a slight improvement on set pieces would be enough to earn that few extra points . I think i read Daka is good with his head, Soumare is fairly tall . So it would good to think that we could improve a little at both ends . 1
21st Century Fox Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 FIL is a Saints season ticket holder and can't wait to see the back of him. His main gripes seem to be his lack of pace and apparently has the turning circle of the Ever Given. I was quite surprised when we were linked the first time round but you have to assume we've seem something in his game that we need and his faults can be compensated for by others.

VLC86 Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 If we manage to do this I’m going to set a up a petition to allow hockey style sub on sub off for set pieces. I assume I have everyone’s full support. 1
Fox42 Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 I’m actually excited about the prospect of getting this guy in… is that weird? He’ll be surrounded with better quality, plus he’ll be next to Bertrand and Kasper; two players he knows very well which helps with overall team chemistry. With our kamikaze set piece play to boot, this makes a lot of sense. 1
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 If £15 million really is his price, then we would be getting a real bargain.

If we can get him in and sign Gary Cahill too, we will have the slowest CB pairing in the history of the EPL. 2

Leicester_Loyal Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 Not majorly excited but think he'll be solid enough and will be more than good enough for a 3 year stint here. If we get an injury to Cags we're ****ed. 1

adam1 Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 8 minutes ago, SecretPro said: Can he play Right Wing? More importantly he is left footed and can play left side of a back 3. I dont think cags excelled in that position so it gives us options.
