SeanO Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Swiss full back Rodrieguez really impressed me so imagine he got a decent mark. Senderos ain't great everyone knows that and you're in denial if you think he's going to be rock solid as he certainly wasn't for Fulham which I'd say is a good indication of his current ability but hopefully Vlaar will stay, Okore will stay fit and his appearences will be kept to the minimu, Yeah right, Vlaar will be taking Christmas off, Baker gets injured almost every game, Clarke misses more than his fair share and Okore hasn't exactly proved to be injury free so far. Point being we may have the worst player in the WC lining up more often than we would like, thanks Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpablo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I keep on trying to be positive about this signing but I just wanna cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ah! A Norwegian Newspaper is the way we should assess all players regarding their performance as surely they couldn't be wrong could they? And it's totally right to grade players on one performance isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am as apprehensive as the next Villa fan about this signing but, it's his Villa performances that I care about, not his Swiss performances. I agree he's been poor for other teams but he might play well for us, hopefully. Besides all the above, I actually think that Clark will up his game this season. He's got Okore back fit, a new signing in Senderos and, his Ireland number two at the club. I think (hope) Vlaar and Okore will be two of a back three. The other player will be between Clark and Senderos IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Is he better than Baker? Yes Is he better than Clark? Probably Is he more experienced than both of them combined? Yes Is he going to be first choice? No Is he going to be second choice? Doubt it Is he a good signing considering our current constraints and other options available at 3&4? I think so yeah. P.S Sorry for talking like a moron! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Rated as the World Cup's worst player (which makes him no. 515/515) in norwegian newspaper Nettavisen today; his rating being 2/10. Only player with a rating lower than 3. James Rodriguez no. 1 with a rating of 7.75/10. Haven't seen any of Switzerlands matches, so I guess he has only played one match? Can't believe he's got 2/10 in more than one match. Did they not see Steven Gerrard, Iker Casillas, Diego Costa play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's totally right to grade players on one performance isn't it? i think they got their info from FIFA's statistical system Castrol Index, as the same story has been run in the swedish press citing that as their source. Should be noted that joe hart, gerrard pique and fabio contreau got the same ammount of points as senderos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cahill and Jagelka looked no better than Phil. Plus my last is best (or worst) Chris Smalling! He makes Baker look like Baresi. Senderos isn't great but there are worse out there? And remind me at which stage the Norweigen team got knocked out in Brazil?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
