I've always liked him.drom his days with Celtics. He is big tall fast strong and Athletic. And he can pass comfortably.
If you can't see how that skillset could excel in a Pep system, then Ok.
But I think most, including Pep, can.
Personally my only problem with him is his price tag. Anything of 50 million is a rip-off.
In my humble and clueless opinion :-)
It's not the skill set that bothers me, it's the "I can't really be arsed doing my job properly because I'm still playing for Southampton and not Liverpoo" that does.

Do you mean he doesn't do anything apart from defend?He has a sluggish disposition. He is the defensive version of what Romario was back on the day.. Someone who seemed like he wasn't doing anything until he had to do something...
Nah. He does everything well. He just does it with what seems a sluggish and lackadaisical demeanor.Do you mean he doesn't do anything apart from defend?
I can't explain it. For the longest time thought he was slow until I saw him Pace Demaray Grey on one occasion and quick step beat Delph on another.
He is very athletic. This is often hidden by his laxed attitude and facial expressions

Tosin if we can get him out on loan to a team in Spain then we might be onto something. The Girona link up and Tosin going there playing in the Spainish league for say 18 months would do him the world of good long term. More so than a club in England now. Most clubs in England now have the money to buy in players so he would be lucky to be going to a newly promoted team on loan or a championship team.I think Tosin would be sent on loan to help him get decent experience in a PL side, if we secure a CB. May be wrong though.
I don't know the player and I'm sure he's decent.
But as a wider point, if we're competing with sides like Everton for a signing we're looking too low.
We're above that and need to show that with who we sign.
Any signing, whether in Jan or Summer, needs to improve the first XI, not for squad depth, we have that already

I'm glad we aren't going for another LB. I like the differing skillsets of Mendy/Delph to give Pep two different options and I also feel Delph deserves to be at least second choice with how he is playing just now.
This, 100%. I like the fact that Mendy and Delph bring different things. Not really sold on Mendy yet, looked good going forward but seems suspect at the back. Feel like we would have leaked a lot more with him playing left-back, but then again, we could have scored alot more too!
