And it seems to me that we're assuming Mendy will be injured for at least half the season again, which as a pessimist I have to say is almost certain to happen. Delph and Zinchenko are not the ideal fullback options of a Champions League winning quality team, not when players like Robertson are kicking about.

Has anyone followed Ange playing for PSV Eindhoven? If so, how were his performances? Talented? Potential? Already there? Sub-par?

Followed him a bit. He has grown into the football player we all thought he was going to be. He's putting in the graft you'd expect from Maffeo, still suspect defensively at times, but considering he's got the the pace of walker, and we play as dominating as we do, i think he'll become a great asset for us!
Still need him to sign my 69 NYCFC shirt at some point!

Already there in the CL games, hard to judge his performances in the Eredivisie but he didn't do much wrong there.Has anyone followed Ange playing for PSV Eindhoven? If so, how were his performances? Talented? Potential? Already there? Sub-par?

Don't want to be putting a downer on the signing but I think his height could cause a few issues. Teams will be pinging high cross field balls at him and then there is the obvious defending of corners to consider.
I imagine pep will work out a way to overcome it but I still think we will get caught out a few times
Same goes for Zinchenko and he's done alright.

Both are better at dealing with those balls than Mendy and he's a big ****. Anyway, unless they can hit them flat and low (which is rare) from any big distance away they're Laporte's job to deal with.Same goes for Zinchenko and he's done alright.

Zinchenko has cut out (with his head) many a cross ball. It's all about watching and timing.
Of course he's not perfect. But also, being 6' + doesn't guarantee that, either.

Almost all "foreigners" accept this when dealing with native English speakers. There are many good lads in this world.So it sounds like it is the Spanish way but he's fine with people pronouncing it Angelino haha. Good lad.

Not sure that applies to everyone, least of all the lad himself, but he seems to have the right mental approach to make the most of his talents.I have a feeling he’s going to surpass everyone’s expectations.
