TomC Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Given that Kamara and McGinn are undroppable (in SG's book anyway), does this create a 3-way competition among JJ, Dougie (if he stays), and Dendoncker for the third spot? Or is SG going to try either Kamara or Dendoncker as a CB? I'm to be curious to see what SG does with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Solid if unspectacular signing. Many here scoffed at Chambers now there are calls for him to start, will be interesting to see how he does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he even spoken to Gerrard. Someone else mentioned that SG wasn't really mentioned in the interview either. Usually as you know the gaffer is bigged up and they asked generic questions like: " Leander, so how much of a factor was it to sign for a legendary player like Steven Gerrard and watch him Meander ?

useless Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Have to say I find this signing a little more strange now it looks like Luiz is staying, as we now have Kamara, Luiz, Nakamba, and Chambers who can all play as a DM, we didn't really need another one, what we needed is a number eight, that is a specialist 'eight' proven in that position, to challenge McGInn and Ramsey.

The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) If we had a okayish start to the season I think the reaction would have generally been not bad squad addition. But because we are in a middle of a VT meltdown it seen as one of the worst signings evs and a damming indictment of the ambition of the club/will somebody think of the children. He can head and tackle. We haven't had that in a midfielder since the glory days of Whelan and Jedinak. I think it is a solid signing.

JoeParker91 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don't know if I've missed a longer video, but I think it was very telling that there was no mention of Gerrard by the interviewer. Especially as Dendoncker is a midfielder, you always get the cliche "And how excited are you to play for Steven Gerrard, who played in a similar position to you?". Also Dendoncker mentioned 'the manager' very briefly in the interview but that was excluded in the little write up. Basically I just want Gerrard out.

mjmooney Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Last player we bought from Wolves? Kourtney Hause. How many games will he get before the cries of "Drop the Dendoncker" start? Edited September 1, 2022 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
