avfc1982am Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I like the bit at the end when he tackles Neymar. Cut that short too. I highly doubt very much that we would buy a player without the capability to step up to Prem level. People worrying we got him with the championship in mind should also realise this. I think this lad will surprise a few people. He looks quick, strong and can also pick a pass out. He doesn't look like he will be easily outthought or outpaced down the flanks either. I see the similar traits with Targett to be fair so cannot see why he will be less capable than any other RB we could have potentially signed this summer. He may well turn out to be a bargain of McGinn proportions in the not to distant future. IMO we wont need another RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Best slide tackler since Mark Delaney. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 23 hours ago, Wezbid said: It looks like but the majority of full backs these days need to have the attributes of wing backs regardless of whether they're in a back 4 or 5. They're expected to attack like a winger and somehow be covering the opposition's winger at the same time. The thought of all that running makes me feel sick. I agree as its possibly the most exhausting position on the pitch like a yo yo. I would hate to play that one position on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Good debut! Assist to boot. The guy has insane amounts of energy and pace. I almost felt like throwing up for him when he played the ball off and legged it half the pitch in seconds, only for us to lose the ball. He'll probably get caught out of position being so forward thinking but if the defence and midfield move to accommodate the runs then we have a real attacking threat from the back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think he’ll be a big player for us based on what I’ve seen of him so far albeit it was only 45 minutes of a friendly. He has great energy and on top of that no shortage of quality on the ball too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another where Davis completely ignored him and turned back inside. Grealish doesn't ignore that run. He looks the nuts, poor opposition or otherwise. Best player on the pitch tonight IMO, Jota and Grealish included. He has that relentlessness about him which you want from a modern full back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Early days, but I almost forgot what a good fullback looks like. Huge improvement over Elmo and Hutton. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's competent, intelligent even. But he's not that dynamic. This guy is the modern full back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
