RonnieTodger Posted 25 May 2022 Share Posted 25 May 2022 Vestergaard was a ridiculous signing. Sad to see we’re writing off Soumaré so soon. This so-called “rebuild” cannot go anything like last summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans just have it in for him. It used to be Nacho until he shut them up and this season it was Vestergaard. It was a bit of a last minute panic buy and the fact of the matter is he's too slow for us. Would never of arrived if it wasn't for the Fofana injury. It's a game of opinions. Mine is he's terrible. Never has anyone so tall been so useless in the air. He has the turning circle of a ford pickup truck and no pace at all. He might be better if he is in a team that defends really deep and in a 3 but for the system we play he's terrible. we should take whatever we can get for him and take their hands off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very harsh on the pickup truck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 25 May 2022 Share Posted 25 May 2022 it is pretty telling that a team that’s main weakness was conceding from set pieces didn’t make use of one of the tallest defenders in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined they cost us just above 30m. Not saying it isnt any less of a waste but we shouldnt resort to making up stuff to make a point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 25 May 2022 Share Posted 25 May 2022 (edited) Not the best player and was poor at times but seems a bit of a scapegoat for the fan base. In the first 9 PL games of the season he played in (7) in which we won 3, draw 2 and lost 2 In all comps 20 games 9 wins, 4 draws 7 loses. Wasn't helped by the total mess we were in defensively, think he could do a job as a back up CB in a settled defence with 1 or 2 of Fofana, Ricardo, Castange, Justin or Evans around him. I think the likes of Soyuncu, Amartey have been just as bad. Edited 25 May 2022 by coolhandfox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we're being honest with ourselves, each of our CBs this season bar Fofana and Evans (for what little part they played in the big picture) has been shite Edited 25 May 2022 by LFox99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been lots worse than jannick. just that all of them put together probably cost about the same we paid for him. to be fair I think he is a decent footballer, but not a great defender, which is an issue as a centre back. His lack of pace is the issue for the way we want to play. Danny nguessan, Alan rogers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not as bad as we make out on here and his performances for Denmark have been pretty solid. We'll make a loss and probably have to contribute to some wages but someone will be willing to take a punt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 25 May 2022 Share Posted 25 May 2022 Such a bad signing. How on earth did anyone, let alone a majority of decision makers, think he'd suit our system and standard? No doubt he's on huge wages too. We'll do well to recoup half of what we paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wortho Posted 25 May 2022 Share Posted 25 May 2022 It makes me wonder how BR and/or the coaching team could've thought he was any good. This applies to Betrand as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all his drawbacks in relation of how we wanted to play, it was pretty short-sighted to bring him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
