S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 I can't understand why clubs were flapping around trying to take our trash in Bednarek, when this fella was up for grabs for a nominal fee by all accounts. I think we've won this one. He has much better pedigree than Bednarek. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 3 good CBS now and Lyanco as back up. I’m a bit uncomfortable we don’t have a 5th choice or even someone that could drop in there (unless Lavia can) but it definitely seems we’ve improved the CB quality short of a bad injury crisis.

nta786 Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 Really excited with this transfer. In this age of 5 subs, DCC will be vital I reckon should we take the lead in seeing games out. Hopefully Ralph's record about dropping points from winning position will be gone, even if the opposite has been true so far this campaign.

Saint_clark Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 Must admit I know very little about this guy but I've seen people rave about him on here every transfer window for about 4 years, and at 25 I finally got that "experienced" player I've been calling for. Interesting though as I cant see either Salisu or ABK dropping out and we don't have enough CBs now to switch back to a back 3. Someone is going to be severely disappointed with their game time. Get into Europe next season though and there'll be enough games for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLaw76 Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 Apparently, he is 'decent' as a defender and very good at on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjosaint Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 (edited) Yeah can't see him displacing ABK or Sali, not the quickest but pretty strong whereas Lacroix wasn't as strong but quick, reminds me of Hoedt signing, ticked a few boxes of experience/strength and people were quite excited by him, but due to actually being crap and a massive bellend it just didnt work. I guess with DCC and AMN it's sensible transfers and seems to be in line with our new policy of buying a strong big powerful side, real shame we didn't get Gakpo but SR seem to want to do things the right way and hopefully sell 1 or 2 of the new nippers in 2yrs time for decent profit and go again, can't get complacent though and need that goal scoring/creative winger, a creative Cam as I dont think that's Aribo or JWP and hopefully a better LB Edited 2 September, 2022 by danjosaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M271 Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 SSN were saying yesterday that Liverpool were looking to sign him in the January 2021 transfer window when they had an injury crisis (I don't remember that). Also that several other 'big' EPL clubs had considered him but he was not the finished article and needed to prove himself at a club like Saints in the EPL before committing themselves. Seems a bit strange when he would be a fairly low cost risk at the 'big' clubs, probably SSN spin on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sea Saint Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 A couple of Marseille supporters I know (I live in the city) reckon he's good 80% of the time, but prone to making huge errors leading to goals. They're glad to see him moved on. Sounds like Bednarek Mk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that January window where they had a bit of meltdown and signed Davies from Preston, who then never played a game and was sold to Rangers this summer. They got Kabak as well on loan, who was pretty shit as we saw at Norwich too. I don't think Marseille were looking to loan out Caleta-Car at that point, but he has been on the radar of top clubs for a few years now. In some ways this has similarities when we signed Lovren on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think also, he was on pretty large wages for that league, as he signed for decent money when he joined them, which is probably why he's been linked with loads of clubs for quite a while, if Marseille have been trying to get rid of him, hence the low fee.

Yes, he has had a few collapses also when playing in Austria for Red Bull Salzburg, but in general a very solid defender and great in 1:1 situations..

saintant Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 Looks slightly clumsy from what I've seen so don't think he'll find it easy to dislodge either ABK or Salisu on current form but decent back-up. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patches O Houlihan Posted 3 September, 2022 Share Posted 3 September, 2022 6 minutes ago, Ex Lion Tamer said: We'll need to sign another centre back if that happens Maybe the plan was for Simeu to be up to speed by then in order to be our 4th choice, with Lyanco as 3rd choice. But I agree I think we'd need to find another wonderkid centre back in January if that was the case. Good, older experienced centre backs are properly pricy in January.
