Delphinho123 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Fair amount of speculation now. Looks as though this guy might be the first signing of the window? Not sure about the age profile.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 What I’ve read seems like really good at tackling and pacey but not so great at crossing or strong, 5ft 10, 29, unlucky not to be in the Spain squad. Could be just opinions but that’s what I’ve gathered so far. Anybody watched him regularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Any similarity to Luna? Slightly weary of Spanish full backs. They seem to be good when driving forward in attack but suspect defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four year contract is standard, he'll be 33 and if it brings in genuine competition for Digne, then it's something that should be welcomed.

I'm pretty sure it resulted from a corner, and he ends up in a more advanced position than Benteke and he's a left back. Needless to say he peaked early.

I don’t think he’s the answer. I think we need to replace Digne and Digne becomes the backup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to replace Digne and Digne becomes the backup. I think we need competition. Also we need a big squad as Emery uses 5 subs often and early. Half time subs is something like 36% of games he's made them in. Can anyone remember last time all 4 full backs played in same game with no injuries?

He had a bad game against Wolves admittedly but he is still pretty solid for us. I reckon Moreno comes in as a LW option… that can also cover LB when in crisis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Don’t really see the point of this? We already have Augustinsson and Young as backup lb. Why do we need to spend another 15-20m euros on another backup lb? Especially one at his age. This feels like signing Lucas Digne all over again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
