But I don't think he will ever be a good player. Kind of like how Aly Cissohko excelled at Porto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Well your left back should never be your best player, really. As stated above, they're generally used to complement good teams rather than being a focal point. All of the best full backs I can think of played in very good teams - Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Lahm etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Taylor's stock has never been close to what Amavi's was before we bought him. That season with Nice, he got the most amount of interceptions out of all the players of Europe's big leagues IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was first or second in the Prem too before his cruciate injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Not necessarily but for the most part. These days if you're good then somebody will pony up enough to tempt you, so we don't see examples like Le Tissier or Shearer anymore.

Meaningless stat is meaningless. Who gives a balls how many interceptions he had at nice or anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted June 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2017 We should accept 5m Only worth 3m French U21 international, highly rated still. Why the hell do we always undervalue our players? If he was at Spurs they'd be asking 10-12m. Our fans? Wank him off for an Aero. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a lot of potential, and will flourish in the right setup. Anyways, I'm fairly certain we'll recoup our money, probably even make a small profit.
