Micah's technical ability is poor, he made up for it in athleticism, strength, determination and being an ok defender. If you have to rely on anything but actual footballing ability then you're not really a good football player. Defenders more often than not are called good defenders rather than good football players because they don't actually get involved in the play and when they do it is often in no pressure situations. This is why us Brits are so far behind, we allow and promote big guys throwing their weight around against smaller guys and find it impressive up until their size doesn't make the same impact once older, they're almost always technically inferior than the smaller continental players as they get ahead with their size and don't look to improve beyond that. Apologies, Went off point a little there but just feel we should aim higher when speaking about professional ability in football.

i'd say Micah was more effective in the opponents box than someone small and as a 'supposed' winger like Navas who struggled to run past a defender or could hardly ever beat the first man with a cross.

Are we really signing 3 players from Monaco? We'll be doing a Liverpool on them(ie Southampton) if we get Fabinho and Mendy.

rumours are such ... but tbh honest until they are officially announced any top club in Europe are probably saying they are signing them too

I wouldn't mind if we got Fabinho in but we should diversify a bit after that.rumours are such ... but tbh honest until they are officially announced any top club in Europe are probably saying they are signing them too

wasnt meaning that, i'd have both as we need RB and LB and both are top quality. just saying until anything is announced they could be joining anyone and everyone at this time.

glad you got my meaning, i just been revising me words for the last 5 minutes thinking i'd worded that wrong and deleted it thinking i've just wasted as much time as the guy that did the 1 clip video lol
