He's a terrible defender, one of the worst. He's a great passer. He'd do well in a 70s Spurs midfield.

We've just had a situation where he was booked for dissent and then tried a tactical foul a minute later. Also the 2nd game in a row where he's responsible for a goal because he can't control a football. 

 

Issue is more it's obvious he is thick as fuck and doesn't care, more than just some defensive issues.

He's not even as good as last seasons fabinho, and he was fucking awful


His stats did suggest that. Very similar to Fabinho 22/23 with much worse passing in a considerably weaker league. His was a bizarre signing, and if anything lends credence to the theory that the Caicedo bid was never intended to sign the player.

That's what he reminds me of, Jamie Redknapp on steds. Can spray it all over the shop but that's not how we plah and he can't do much else. 

For someone who can hit the ball so we'll, you'd think he'd be able to trap a ball.

He doesn't have that excuse for me. We apparently signed him because of his experience, readiness to slot in, and all of that bollocks. He's 30, if we have to waste half a season until we can judge him, what the hell was the point in signing him.

 

Well, perhaps a match where we're not away at a notoriously difficult ground and down to 10 men.
