JackFrost Posted 7 February, 2016 Share Posted 7 February, 2016 Anyone know if he's anywhere near returning? I think the diagnosis was 7 months in July last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 7 February, 2016 Share Posted 7 February, 2016 He is doing individual training. Probably play U21s soon. Must say, I wasnt overly sold on him last season. He had some good games but also looked shaky at times. Probably about the same level as Maya. Certainly feel we could get a better 3rd CB in the summer.

We need to be looking for Fonte's successor this summer. Fonte's age will become a factor in the next couple of years and we need to be prepared for it when it happens rather than at the next transfer window.

Agree with that bit, but tbf for someone new to the Prem. he didn't get a lot of game time and with the form of Schneiderlin and Alderweireld at the time, he wasn't likely to get much more....

Lighthouse Posted 8 February, 2016 Share Posted 8 February, 2016 I think Yoshi and Gardos re about the right level for back up CBs for a club our size. They are both decent centre halves who are happy to compete for places but don't throw they toys out if they are second fiddle to Fonte and VvD. Pretty much everyone looks 'shaky' when they are playing intermittently. Given a run in the side Yoshida has been pretty good for us, playing at CB and Gardos had some excellent games too, like the win at Old Trafford. I'd take them over someone like Jakobsson, Davenport or Higginbotham any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersubpuckett Posted 26 September, 2016 Share Posted 26 September, 2016 I think he could be class for us but its going to be hard for him to get back into the team and with no cups to play in his best bet is the u21's or a loan out. If we get into Europe again he'd be perfect. Back in the team?.....has he ever been in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 28 September, 2016 Share Posted 28 September, 2016 Back in the team?.....has he ever been in it? well ....he played 17 games in all competitions in his first season. .and then had a major injury problem. Getting past Toby Alderweireld was probably " a bridge too far " for him, and just now I can't see him outpointing VvD on present form. He'll be 28 at the end of October, so he should be mature enough for our back line - don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScepticalStan Posted 28 September, 2016 Share Posted 28 September, 2016 To be fair, he played 90 minutes in the league cup match away to Arsenal in 2014 where we won 2-1 with the Clyne screamer and looked absolutely fine to me, particularly as a backup. Thought he'd overtake Yoshida and become a really useful player for us but meh, guess it just hasn't worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not writing him off, he's got a lot of potential, just you can't say he was brilliant before his injury, as he barely played a game.

Mowgli Posted 28 September, 2016 Share Posted 28 September, 2016 Truth hurts sometimes. Yoshida makes at least one major error per game which often leads to a goal scoring opportunity. Absolute garbage. He's played 3 times for us this season. Two clean sheets and a 1-1 draw. In 2015/16 he made 27 appearances of which 10 were clean sheets and only 8 of the others resulted in a defeat. I could analyse those games for you too but suspect I would find one, maybe two where mistakes cost us points. I could do and find the same for Fonte, Targett and a few others too if you like. If you don't like Maya, I can buy that but the reality of his performances is quite different. As others have said, it takes a very special player to come into the side after months on the sidelines / bench and perform to a the high standard that Maya achieves. Puel's rotation system will also benefit him. Back to Florin, he started really well for us when he first joined. I have no doubt he will be a valuable squad member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he makes at least one error per game which leads to Forster having to rush out and make a slightly rushed clearance under pressure. Can't remember the last goal in which Yoshida was directly at fault but it wasn't this season. Meanwhile Fonte has had 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicted then to be out 7 months (all season), suffered some sort of set back preseason. Doesn't seem to have travelled to Israel, Stephens is clearly backup for this game. Would expect an u23 run out for Florin soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
