bobzy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah, I'm pretty sure Yedlin has flattered to deceive. He'd be fine in the Championship though (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not just wanting promotion, we are building a team capable of staying up next season. Ballsy. This is one of the things I've been loving the most. It also aids towards a smooth transition of even higher quality players coming in and not necessarily desplacing our better/older players straight away, but also learning from them, gaining mental attributes etc. The better players we have now may even have to play lesser roles and that in itself will be a testament to the squad. It will also be a huge bonus not having to make wholesale changes to the squad and just tweaking. Helps improve the team, whilst being able to also keep the comeradery and positive vibe!

rodders0223 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yedlin might do a job dropping down a league but make no mistake he is a poor PL footballer. Pacey with not much between the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted August 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2016 There was shock when he left the MLS. We may as well be signing Usain Bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any are comfortably mid table Prem players yet. Chester struggled to get in Albion who finished low, palace were low with Jedinak not regular... Elphick got injured so we don't know how he'd do... Tsih McCormack and Gollini never played there Edited August 18, 2016 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yedlin was pretty shite when he first appeared for Sunderland. He was poor defensively because he constantly bombed forward without getting back. He got a lot better as the season progressed and looked decent at the end for Sunderland. It was his first year in the league, and he showed promising signs. If we can get him for that cheap, 100% we should. 3million is basically giving him away. Very low risk and possible high reward. From a business aspect, this seems like a smart deal. Plus we need to get back the americans we lost with selling Guzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I think I'd prefer De Laet over Yedlin. Although I've not seen either too much, I'm presuming De Laet is better defensively which is what I think we need. We have Amavi who is great going forward but shows questionable defending, I don't think we need two fullbacks like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you, Palace were promoted in 2013. Jedinak was a lynch pin in that side from his date of joining in the championship. It is only in the last season he "fell out of favour" as they were/are feeling established and want to go in another direction. There fans also being major pissed off at him going indicates that he is more than good enough for the Premier League. Add to that, at his age and time left on his deal, it was a good decision for all parties. Edited August 18, 2016 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villaglint Posted August 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2016 So some people think he's way under valued others think he's terrible. God bless you VT. Maybe we should save ourselves 20 pages and all admit we haven't seen enough of him to make a judgement. I think I'd need to see a player play 90mins around 20 times to make a proper judgement. I've seen Yedlin play once for US against Belgium and he was absolutely excellent so it's a yes from me! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm gobsmacked that some people question a £3 million move for Yedlin. Would be a brilliant signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
