ThunderPower_14 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'd buy a Columbian again in a second if he was a 20 year old Juan Pablo Angel God I miss Angel. I wish he'd been in his prime when Lerner took over so we finally could have given him the service he deserved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Makes me wonder whenever I see players who are supposedly shit for us play amazing for their national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Does Carlos speak good English? Maybe he doesn't understand it when Villa players shout "man on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) http://www.espnfc.co.uk/copa-america/83/blog/post/2496317/colombias-win-down-to-carlos-sanchez-dominating-neymar Ive always said he plays great for 80 minutes and then do something absolutely dreadful to dampen his game. To me he is a great player who isnt fit enough for the Premier League (as a matter of fact i think that goes with our whole squad) and he was just getting used to it. He will be much better this season with a good English pre season under his belt. Same goes with Gil if he gets a chance. Juan Pablo and Petrov are ones who dramatically improved in their second seasons.. even the likes of Henry took 6 months to score his first goal. I hope he gets more oppurtunities. Leave him in the squad a month to build his match fitness. He was just in and out all season this year. Edited June 18, 2015 by KSV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 At worst, he's a useful squad rotation player. Very handy to bring off the bench to see out a game too. I like him, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've defended him all season but if i'm honest towards the end it was becoming difficult to do so because his mistakes and errors were so glaringly obvious. There is however a good player in there somewhere but maybe our style of play doesn't suit him or he wasn't quite up to speed with the Premier League. What formation do Colombia play? I'm guessing a 4-2-3-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Give him a full pre season there's definitely a good player there. Also ask him to tap up Cuadrado on loan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 All he needs to do is improve his awareness on the ball and get rid when under too much pressure. The only thing that plagued him last season was his constant losing of the ball, though that happened to every player, just generally in less important positions.

Agreed, it's a pretty big thing because of the area of the field he plays, and mistakes are costly there. However, if he can sort out this one area of his game, he can be a good DM for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I wonder if language has been a problem here because I think he was genuinely bad last season. Not "average" or "alright" - bad. However, for Colombia, he looks like a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 He really just dwelt on the ball too long last season, and if he can sort that, he will be a big player for us. I think Sherwood likes him, as he is a positive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 he was ok in a midfield three, but in a two man midfield he was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he'd been in his prime when Lerner took over so we finally could have given him the service he deserved. what the 20 year old Angel who couldn't score for toffee? I liked Angel, but he had one and half very good seasons with us, which granted are memorable for how good they were but most of the rest of the time he really wasn't very good. anyway back on topic I hope Sanchez is given at least the close season to prove his worth.

Earl the Pearl Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Also your team is shit that will never ever be anything but relegation fodder. Sherwood will buy shitty overpriced british players and you will struggle not to be relegated for the rest of your miserable existance. Because that's all you are. You're just like colombians. Losers. I can recognize losers. I only hang around losers. Real Madrid. Losers. Aston Villa. Inter Milan. Losers. Colombia. Losers. All this world is full of is losers. Just accept it. Stop staring into the mirror mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'd buy a Columbian again in a second if he was a 20 year old Juan Pablo Angel God I miss Angel. I wish he'd been in his prime when Lerner took over so we finally could have given him the service he deserved. Yeah and gave him team-mates clever enough that his runs didn't look like HE was the one that didn't know what he was doing instead of the other way around. I always said he was too good for our team at the time, and I still kinda feel guilty that our club robbed him of what would no doubt have been a far more illustrious career had he gone down the same career path as the other River Plate Fantastic 4 (Ortega, Aimar, Saviola). But anyway, I digress. Wooo!! Go Sanchez. There's definitely a bloody good player in there and I think we've yet to see the best of him. We've seen glimpses of brilliance though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do exist, some good things being said about the likes of Cardona, Renteria, Quintero and Borre. Shame work permits are such a mare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
