That seems to be that for full backs with Danilo providing cover at left and right back. Looks like a Centre Back plus Sanchez or AN Other will complete our window. Would have loved Weigl from Borussia but I'm being greedy. 6 foot 2 and so gifted. Could replace Yaya next season perhaps if he hasn't been snapped up by then.

I like Bendy. I hope it applies to his crosses too.

When it comes to comparing strikers to left backs, I come to the conclusion they aren't actually that comparable. Does that make me full of shit? Jesus Navas almighty

Happy with this signing.

I think Ben will help to Mend a lot of Y's at the back.
Thanks again, Monaco.

I think this thread needs a bit of a soundtrack ;)

Mmmmm....John Phillips 'playing' a Gibson ES 345, by the looks of it.

A prohibitively and disgustingly expensive guitar for someone who was just a mere strummer and little more, although as a poser's prop it's probably unsurpassed :- an example of pop excess to the extreme. :ugeek: :ugeek:

I wouldn't get too excited mate. Hopefully better than Clichy but no Roberto Carlos, Alves ot Maicon (when he could play). We have to pay the money and I wouldn't argue with that - what choice have we? But steady on the expectation - we have a left back.


Oh I think certainly better than Clichy! On a pure stats breakdown they're very similar, except he's more of a play-maker with 8 assists, most in Ligue 1, to Clichy's goose egg. Then again he also gets more cards, but I'm assuming that's feistiness & passion! He's bigger, he's bulkier, he makes his presence known on the field with MotM 5 times to Gaël's 0...he feels a bit like a junior Yaya!

Prices are what they are, the inflation in pay is alarming sometimes but seems to be a solid trend so might as well not worry. Hey, it's not my money!

I can't help it, I'm a hopeless optimist and I really think it was a good purchase!
