Bad Wolf Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Decent player at this level. Would still perfer Kaspers Whatshisface but Fontaine would easilly make it in our side ahead of Seabourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Is he that much better than Seabourne? Same age group round 25, and he's certainly played more games ..I read 200+ ...and Bristol City have been in CCC.. ( most of /all )..of that time, I think?

Minsk Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Don't know a great deal about him but only 5'9'' (1.8m) so hardly the 'rock' replacement to play alongside Fonte that many were hoping for. Hmmm, I think I'll wait and see if this is really happening or not. And, of course, in Nigel I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vin Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Left footed, quick and can pass... but doesn't seem to be the dominant centre half we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 If he's 1.8m tall, he's around 6 foot. 6'2 according to wiki....the reliable wiki. It says 5' 9'' on Soccerbase and 1.8m on SkySports. I'm thinking (hoping, if we are in for him - as 5'9'' is short for a CB) that Soccerbase have screwed up. My reasoning is this: 1.8m = 5.9ft this, of course, = 5' 11'', but they just put it at 5'9''. Mind you 5'11'' still isn't big for a CB; I believe Jose is 6'1''; so this partnership would make him the big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Left footed, quick and can pass... but doesn't seem to be the dominant centre half we need Well, we do do need left footed, quick and able to pass. That is certainly what we will need this coming Saturday. Certainly no need for a Jaidi against someone like Vassell. And if we do play a team with a huge lump, we can use the squad (i.e. Jaidi/Seaborne) accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 He's 6'2" according to his profile on their OS: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10327~30595,00.html Don't know anything about him, so I will refrian from commenting, but in Nige we trust!

eelpie Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 On that same site Sven rules out buying Maynard (apols if already posted). More likely NA would still be after him I'd thought, but perhaps Nigel's negotiating an offer for both. (Please let Puncheon be part of it).

Saint Fan CaM Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 The key attribute is - can he pass the ball out of defence? I think he can pass well, so not being a big brute shouldn't be overly important. We need a calm and collected pair of CB's - not players (like Seaborne) that (a) get caught the wrong side of their man and (b) panic under pressure and hoof the ball straight back to the opposition.

SuperMikey Posted 23 August, 2011 Share Posted 23 August, 2011 Good centre-back for this level, he would be ahead of Seaborne, Jaidi and Martin in my estimations, but still not good enough to say that position is sorted imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
