Finn Claw II Posted 23 July 2022 Share Posted 23 July 2022 We paid £15m for a squad defender. It’s not like we paid £50m for him. Hopefully we can offload for something like £10m and whilst bad business it’s not quite the end of the world 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've told him he's no future here and given how disastrous he's been there's no way we think we can turn a profit on him. I suspect we'll loan him out and have his wages covered with a small loan fee for the rest of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't sell him to Brentford until after the season opener. No way are we going to risk a Lurch master class against us on Day 1! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 25 July 2022 Share Posted 25 July 2022 This signing is the football equivalent of Operation Barbarossa. A monumental cock-up resulting in severe costs to the perpetrators. We will never know who at LCFC had the summer 2021 brain fart. I wonder if Boris is in charge of the cover-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said this before. Someone should be accountable for signings like this. The knock on effect it has on being able to do further transfer dealings is huge. I’m not sure about the simile between this and Barbarossa though.. Hitlers invasion into Russia effectively lost them WW2. I doubt we’ll be relegated?!

Mickyblueeyes Posted 25 July 2022 Share Posted 25 July 2022 He looked really poor on Saturday. Especially the first 30 minutes. Put Caglar under some pressure which was really not needed. Any fee would be a bonus. I cant understand how this guy is a PL footballer. It cant all be about his passing ability (which we havent seen a lot of).

As a team we literally play to his weaknesses and don’t use his strengths. That’s what makes it so utterly baffling why we signed him in the first place. I hope, for everyone involved, he gets a move to somewhere that suits him. Brentford would be a good match I genuinely think he is just an all round terrible footballer (for the level we're at). Even if we did play a low block I dont think he has it in him to be consistently solid. If he had electric pace there would still be his weak physicality, poor aerial ability and just all round awkward style of defending that holds him back. A truly awful player as far as I can see.

teblin Posted 25 July 2022 Share Posted 25 July 2022 I didn’t think he looked that bad on Saturday, should be tighter for the goal. Made a loose pass that out soyuncu under pressure. Other than that didn’t really look troubled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is one attack at pace Where's he's not already camped in our box and it's panic stations. If he's allowed to sit deep and ping balls all over the place then he looks a capable squad player but he's not to be relied upon unless we change our tactics drastically.

Made a loose pass that out soyuncu under pressure. Other than that didn’t really look troubled. The biggest problem with judging players on pre season friendlies isn't just that the standard of opposition is usually poor, its that the pressure is completely off. One of the biggest things separating mediocre athletes from elite ones is the resilience and the speed of thought needed to operate under pressure in an intense competitive environment like the Premier League. It's why I'm not really interested in guys like Praet and Soumaré putting in eye catching performances against teams like Derby and Preston in front of half empty stadiums in a game that's really a training exercise. They may be showcasing that they have the raw building blocks to make a top level footballer but if they can't do it come the first game of the season then it doesn't really matter because friendlies and competitive games will just never be all that comparable. And this isn't a low key attempt at flaming those particular individuals, for the record, I've spoken elsewhere about hoping Soumaré in particular comes good and I'd still like it if it was at this club. But we won't know either way until the season starts, ultimately. Vestergaard has done enough to illustrate he's just not really up to the task for a top half Premier League team and for me that includes his time at Soton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we play a 3 at the back on occassion, he could be ok in this middle of a 3 as the deepest sitter, pinging the balls, but 100% agree that in a 4 he is just too slow and would be targetted as a weak point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
