The urge to sing his name is only ever a Wimmer way a Wimmer way a Wimmer way
i) Very comfortable & assured in passing.
ii) In possession he looks so good on the ball. Left footed but can also pass very crisply with right foot too. Very Vertongehn-esque.
iii) Made one very good interception to start a counter
iv) Cut out atleast 2 good crosses from De Bruyne & Perisic - just being in correct positions
v) Defended well & made 3 headers out to corner - no nonsense defending
vi) Couple of good long balls to wing
vii) Made a solo bursting run from back all the way to Wolfsburg box skipping past players & took a shot at keeper with weaker right foot.
All in all, he is just quality. He looks the standout player in FC Koln.
Playing a good game against a good Wolfsburg attack.
If this is anything to go by, we got a big steal. Now I know why FC Koln, have kept 12 cleansheets in 31 games with Wimmer this season - their first season after promotion. Vertonghen starting place will be under threat by him - thats guaranteed.
#neverforgetI just want to let myself get all excited again, but the last time we signed a promising centre back who made attacking runs I showed my father the youtube compilation of Chriches saying we'd signed an absolute gem.. I will never live that down
I'm sure is better than Vlad. Who isn' better than Vlad?
But Kaboul was very good for us some years ago, Vlad was crap for us always.Kaboul.
