Sami never had any pace and he was fucking incredible, it's not an essential but I do prefer a CB who has the pace to recover a situation.

 

True, but pace would come under Klopp and the way he trains. Not saying he would be speedy but he would learn to carry the weight better and benefit pace wise. The other CB you are probably thinking about is Süle.

As were many others.  Not arsed about pace for a CB, it's a bonus, rather than being essential.

 

Klopp had Hummels at Dortmund, who is not quick at all.

 

Edit - Some of those "defending skills" in the above video - are actually examples of bad defending.

What? No Youtube? What the fuck has this place turned into.

 

I oculd only find the video below, but some reason it seems to a compilation of Ashley Williams. Anybody got any clips of Tah?

 

 

 

I'll ask his hairdresser next time i'm in.

I don't watch German football, but I watch Youtube.

 

Initial impressions - He looks very raw to me. Lots of talent, but rash, bit of a showboater, like Stones.

 

But young enough to improve though.

 

You should.

You should. 

 

I agree, but with cricket, PL, rugby union etc I can't watch everything.

 

If I did watch another league regularly, it would be the German league though.

Does UK TV not have a Bundesliga highlights programme anymore?

Rumour mill (maybe not the reliable part of it just yet, to be fair) says we might be looking at a January move for Ntep from Rennes today.  

 

Got to say, if we're looking for a player to replace Mane during the ACON and then to be his backup going forward, this one make a lot of sense.  He's basically a poor man's version of our Sadio, very quick and direct.  Two caveats: 1)he's injured quite a lot and 2) he usually plays on the left, though from his style you'd imagine he could move over without too much fuss.  Depending on the price I could see this one making a lot of sense, both for this year and then looking further forward to next season when we'll presumably be in Europe and need a player to back up Sadio who offers something similar
