Another example of 3rd party negotiations seeing us miss out on our #1 target and us being desperate in the market
Or just the usual hardball bullshit and arguing over 50p
Why sign a ball-playing quick 24 year old for £15-17m when you can sign a slow, tall old school 27 year old for 1/2 that price? Levy'd
Let's not write off Fazio yet. He is being put into a back line that looks unsettled at best and cannot be expected to be the #1 guy straight away. He has looked good in spells but bad in spells too. If he can gain some consistency he will be very useful to us. A proven winner and seems to have a good character.
Here here. I just think the old chap is a darn right wally.
He is a winner though old boy and we need winners who know how to defend our borders!
Just worried how he will go with our relatively high line against strikers with any sort of pace. That being said none of current crop of central defenders instil a whole lot of confidence in me with how they go dealing with pace, aerial balls or staying awake!
He is very used to playing a high line, it was one of the notable features of Sevilla's style of play. I assume that was a key reason for bringing him in.Just worried how he will go with our relatively high line against strikers with any sort of pace.

Was he a 1 in 3 red guy there too?
No idea. But he and Pareja had a CB partnership that was seen as one of the teams main strengths. For me he has been very unlucky with the reds he has picked up. The one at City was a foul, but not a clear goal scoring opportunity and the one last night wasn't even a foul in my eyes.
I think of Jan over the last couple of seasons, he blatantly could have been sent off what 5 or 6 times? but didn't even pick up a foul in some cases.
8 Seasons, 4 Red cards for them

point about his rotten luck so far. Last nights was a very poor decision and shouldn't have been a foul. But he still hasn't looked great thus far. I really want him to stamp himself as a permanent member in place of Kaboul, hopefully the red gets rescinded and he can play in the last 2 group games
He is never gunna get a place over Kaboul. You don't make someone club captain with the intention to drop him halfway through the season.Proves
So we've got 4 centre backs all vying to be Kaboul's partner? With two vice captains who are almost certain starters I don't see the problem with Kaboul being dropped. IIRC wasn't Ledley our club captain with Keano more of a matchday captain? The term captain shouldn't just be thought of as on the pitch. I'm sure Kaboul is a great leader in training hence being picked as captain, but if his performances aren't up to standard he shouldn't have a golden ticket to a starting spot
Yes, that seems to be the case. It's the same situation with Rooney at Utd, he might not be the best option but he will no doubt be in the team every week. They have 4 decent number 10 players but he will always be picked due to being club captain. Thats what happens. You don't make someone club captain then drop them
