Has anyone seen reviews from Gijon supporters?


Apparently he was mustard against Dijon.

"Our new defensive midfielder is a quantum leap in defensive technology. He's not just a player, he's a tactical singularity. His ability to intercept passes is on par with a black hole consuming light. Plus, he can bake a mean apple pie. It's science."

How tall is he? It says on various platforms that he's 5 foot 9? In which case he seems to be playing against midgets in some of those clips. I'm presuming he's well over 6 feet?

Never knowingly right.
Poll: How long before new signings become quivering wrecks of the players they were?

Is he that much cheaper? We've had to pay a lump to sign him whereas Hayden would have been free and sounded like he was willing to cut his wages to a suitable level.

I think it was more a case of we need a Hayden type player, what's the best investment for the club. Hayden was great but there's little sell on potential. He's probably at or past his peak so possibly not going to maintain that level of performance for too many years. We've instead used the money, (possibly very similar money when his fee and wages are considered*) on someone who may improve to a level where we can sell him for a profit.

Hopefully that's it for CM now, we have 4 good options, we need to use our remaining resources strengthening other areas of the squad I think.

*Not knowing the length of the contract makes this hard to work out but assuming the rumored fee of £825k is spread over 3 years, it is equivalent to just over 5k a week in wages. Is this why we hide contract lengths so other clubs find it harder to work out how close to FFP limit we are?


Could be right but if nothing else assuming similar levels of performance from Varane and Hayden, the former would have significantly more sell on value.

You'd expect after last season it became fairly clear to the manager that we needed a physically bigger/stronger team.


Good point. It was one reason why we needed to play Dunne at right back and Dykes a lot of the time because with Colback, Chair, Smyth, Paal and Armstrong playing we were so exposed at set pieces. With these two there then the shorter players wouldn't have to mark six foot two defenders/strikers.
