Ricardo Rodriguez

[Neville Kneville]

Not as bad as Kolarov, would be my only real positive on this.

 

[Dax777]

That sounds promising. I genuinely know nothing of this lad

No it's not promising. People overrated him.

 

[mosssideblue]

Don't be. Average players are like that. I could think he is better than Kolarov while others don't. He is not special. He is no Marcelo. He is not the next great LB. Just a decent squad player.

That kind of contradicts

He was consideredby many to be the 2nd best LB in Europe.

Thanks for the info though

Do you rate him Nev?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Do you rate him Nev?

No.

He's got no pace & isn't great at defending. Better on the ball than Kolarov & not as dumb.

 

[Stephenhakin]

The lad is on another level from Kolorov and I feel like there aren't many great left backs around. Maybe he is best of a bad bunch. Plus he I'll be in a much stronger side.

 

[lee_wsm]

maybe worth a look at gaya?

 

[mosssideblue]

No.

I'd rather someone quick though. True enough most fullbacks are shit, but shit at defending, good on the ball & fast would be nice.

Agree with this, sorry dax but you are off the mark on this one. He's not Marcelo, fair point, but who is at the minute? Not many! The fact he's a decent fullback who can cross a ball VERY well, is a huge upgrade

I can't remeber the last fullback we had that could cross a ball well, possibly niclas Jensen...

 

[BigOscar]

He's always struck me at the Bundesliga's Leighton Baines. Gets peoples attention with some assists from good set pieces, can cross the ball, but other than that he's not up to much.

So a huge upgrade then. Our fullbacks are useless going forward. Most teams for the last 2 seasons have let us go wide, as we have no fucking chance of putting a decent ball in

The club could sign one of us on that basis!

 

[ADegenerate]

Love his penalty kicks.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'm right footed though & have lost all my pace.

But having said that, I can kick with more than one foot.

Angelino is fast enough, good on the ball etc.

 

[Stephenhakin]

Is there no chance Angelino starting?

Funnily enough I side with Dax on this one.

Also - he had a €25m release clause which ended in July.

No one tried to sign him, only Arsenal were linked.

I think he's overrated by fans and not rated by professionals, because if he was so amazing, someone would have triggered the clause.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Angelino is fast enough, good on the ball etc.

If we're talking attacking, Angelino is absolutely fine imo. Better than both.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Taye Taiwo had a similar reputation.

Gibbs would be a better signing.
