Vive_La_Villa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's his decision making that pisses me off. You can his lunging tackles leading to freekicks in a dangerous area a mile off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shomin Geki Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's always looked to me that if football was a game played with 15 men on a boggy marsh Sanchez would boss it. Pretty grass with eleven? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty grass with eleven? Not so much. You can't have been watching the Copa America then, because he had Lionel Messi in his pocket. That boy plays like he's floating above the grass. Sanchez is a fabulous destroyer. He's going to be very important for us this season and he's going to improve to the point where we are bricking it that he'll be snapped up in the summer.

S-Platt Posted July 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2015 He had Neymar in his pocket and was suspended when they played Argentina!!! He did play well against Messi previously though in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Last Copa he had Messi in his pocket, actually maybe Neymar will get out of his pocket soon to replace Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember where you read it first You are correct. I did not see him. I did hear the legend though. I simply meant that he's a bit of a bruiser that lacks finesse. Maybe he thrives against more skillful and technical opponets. Takes them off their perch somewhat. And the PL does not have the loose hips and intricate tip toes of our Spanish and South American friends. I cannot tell you how elated I will be if your positivty bears fruit.

villan-scott Posted July 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2015 Is he back in training this week? He won't have much of a pre-season otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 How much does he really need? He last played for us on May 30th and then was starting for Colombia two weeks later and they only finished two weeks back or whatever it was. I doubt he's put on 4 stone in that timeframe. With regards his role in the squad....we have about 3 experienced central midfielders at the club currently so I'd say he's o.k as it stands currently.

Tippers Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It's unfortunate he has played a significant number of games for Colombia over the last 2 summers. He is a player I really think could blossom under Sherwood, Wilkins et al, but is 2 weeks enough time to make significant progress on what is a vital part of the team? Am cautiously optimistic he can improve on last years showings. You don't mark Messi out of a game (twice) unless you have something about you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember where you read it first There is a good player in there....but the fans who raise issues with him are right in what they see.....I think it has more to do with whats around him and his speed of thought needs to improve to the pace of the prem..... you don't get time to dally, but equally there has to be players available to pass to.

TRO Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) DM's are not always eye candy and by definition do not attract the same level of superlatives from the fans. Personally, I love watching a good one( i.e Claude Makele).....I think they are essential to a good team.....there can be a case for 2 in some instances. 4231.....which is a formation i like.

Stevo985 Posted July 24, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think he'll end up being a big player for us. But going on last season, he has work to do to be consistent in this league. He was poor last season in quite a number of games, prone to losing the ball easily and making rash tackle that cost us. I think eventually he'll establish himself as a first team regular. But as it stands I'd have Westwood ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It was Neymar he had in his pocket in the Copa America. Huge season for him, I really hope he adjusts as there is obviously potential there for him to be a real midfield destroyer for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
