2 and half years left of Vestergaard

2 and half years left of Decordova-Reid

18 months left of Ayew

 

Dread to think how much in wages them 3 are pulling in between them 

YEAH BUT FFP AND PSR ARE HAMPERING US BECAUSE WE CAN’T SPEND ENOUGH TO COMPETE WITH THE LIKES OF PALACE, EVERTON AND BOURNEMOUTH.

He is the worse defender I’ve ever seen play for the club. Can’t win a header (despite his height), can’t run, no pace, gets knocked off the ball so easy. 
 

He is a disgrace as is the decision to give him a new contract.

He’s not particularly good, but we’ve definitely had a lot worse!

Not for the transfer fee and wages we have shelled out for him. 
 

I’ve seen players as bad but they were usually free or academy or low fee’s. 

£15m + wages for this *****.

 

He would get in my worst City 11 with ease.

There’s a post on page 2 of the Bobby Reid thread where someone said “if we didn’t give him 3 years he would have gone somewhere else” 

 

I can almost guarantee there was not a single Premier league club that was considering or interested in signing Bobby Decordova-Reid on a 3 year contract.

You never had the pleasure of watching Brian Carey then, or Gary Coatsworth.

Coatsworth wasn't a very gifted player but at least he tried and put a shift in. probably on about a sixteenth of the wage too. 

Carey was, I acknowledge, abysmal.

He’s been horrific pretty much all season. 
 

But today his lack of pace was exposed too many times. 
 

But again, Rudkin gave this man a 3-year extension.

He’s no where near the worst defender we’ve ever had, even for the money we’ve spent on him. 
 

To start with, Benkovic, Faes, Benelouane, Dragovic, St Ledger ….. all worse than Faes.

As per my post after, he is the worse taking into consideration the transfer fee and wages.
 

Tell me something he can do? Nothing. He’s pathetic and we paid £15m for him. I’m not even debating it anymore, I’m fed up of watching this *****. I’ll be so happy when he leaves. But for the time being we’ve got a manager that plays him regardless every week.

In that case why don't we just walk away?,that's the thing with Rudkin he let's players dominate him during negotiations,hence why we have so many on long contracts and high wages!!!

I’d imagine adjusted for inflation, Amartey and Benkovic are just as bad. Bear in mind, we paid the same for Benkovic and he was that bad he never played. 
 

Vestergaard needs to play with a quicker defender and a deeper defence. He’s not pressing high. The tactics for the players we have are all wrong. 
 

He was decent last season. 
 

Ideally we’d upgrade, however we are literally playing into his weaknesses.

 

Albeit, he and Faes were rancid today. So weee the entire team. 
 

That first goal knocked the stuffing out of them, they looked shell shocked.

Our worst ever signing. I'm sure of it.

 

Adjusted for inflation 

 

Adrien Silva - £22m

Amartey - £10m

 

Then we have Danny bloody Ward, at nearly £15m! 


Not forgetting Dennis Wise.

Then throw in friggin Amartey as well. 
 

 

Amartey was pretty pants but he did an ok job in plenty of positions for several years. Absolutely lightyears ahead of Vestergaard (who I would say is so much better than when we were last in the prem, where I would have had him as just about the worst player I've seen for us)

Trust me mate! He’s come here because of the 3 year deal on a good wage, we are terrible negotiators.

He didn’t have to do much actual defending last season due to the style of play. Was rarely 1 v 1 with opposition player. He’s far too slow and lumbering for the PL. Should never have been signed in the 1st place. As mentioned before, for his height he is rubbish in the air. Who ever thinks he might win the ball at a corner, either end.

Posted (edited)

6' 6" you should be dominant in the air, if he was a could forgive his lack of pace.

 

But he's not, he's average in the air, has no pace, poor positional sense and poor in the tackle.

 

He's only PL standard attribute is his passing.
