Is he someone that is going to be dominant at set pieces - which is something we lack IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefizzy14 Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 (edited) At least we are getting some kind of fee. Always liked Lyanco however wouldn't be guaranteed to be first choice.

HarvSFC Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 Thank you for the assist against Man City, leaking the away kit and showing heart on the pitch.

I'm with you, but ultimately I think we liked him because we reckon that's how we would be if we were taken out of the stands and thrown on the pitch in an emergency (all heart, but with limited talent). I also reckon if he wan't a cool sounding / looking Brazilian then we would have been much quicker to denounce him. Best of luck Lyanco, there were far bigger culprits than you last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 I said he wasn't a very good defender after the first game he played for us. Nothing I saw since has changed my mind. I had hoped that, over time, he would, as Fonte did, eradicate some of his recklessness, but I am not sure if that will ever happen. It certainly won't here, unless of course he doesn't meet whatever criteria has been set that obliges Besiktas to buy him after the loan. For someone that supposedly loved being a Saints, he seems very happy to depart. Talk is often cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney_saint Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 We signed a defender that stood out as particularly poor in a shocking Torino side. It's not his fault it didn't work out, he should never have been signed in the first place. I really wish that money had gone to getting a high calibre player in a more vital position. Instead of signing Armstrong that season, we could have spent 25m or so on a striker far likely to be successful than both Armstrong or Lyanco. Instead we got dross in both positions. Still, he did try and not his fault he wasn't good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they took him to Goztepe to save on the return fare. I always think of him as a Che. Really useless but he gives it 100% every game. As someone said, if we also get 6m for Aribo, it's starting to look like a successful transfer window! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 Gave 100%, cannot deny that, but so limited and prone to disasters most games. Glad we've managed to shift him on if i'm honest. If that's him, and potentially Diallo out of the door.....that's massively debloating the squad of the crap we came down with, will be a good start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brightside Posted 18 July, 2023 Share Posted 18 July, 2023 Like most, never thought he was good enough in the Prem, and not sure he'd have faired much better this coming season, so best outcome for both parties (as long as we recoup a good percentage of what we spent). Can't dislike his passion though, good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
