Pepe

Re: Pepe

Pepe would be a good signing but I don't understand all the love for Coentrao, he has just as many defensive misgivings as Kolarov. The only reason I can think of as to why people prefer him is that he's fast, but we already have a fast left back who's a better defender than Coentrao.

At the moment we have two options at left back, a solid defender who's comfortable on the ball but not great in the final third and a wing back who lacks Clichy's defensive qualities but is much better going forward, crossing and shooting. If you swap Kolarov for Coentrao you have Clichy and a poor man's Clichy. All in my opinion of course.

Coentrao is a world class wing back, he would be an immense signing for us.

I have to disagree with absolutely everything you said to be honest. Coentrao is infinetly better defensively than Kolarov and is a far better technical player going forward than him aswell. As for him being a poor mans Clichy, I have no idea what you even mean by that, as he is absolutely nothing like Clichy.

Coentrao is second choice to Marcelo for a reason. While I don't agree he has the defensive frailties of Kolarov he isn't an upgrade on Clichy in my opinion.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion in-spite of how wide of the mark it may be.

My opinion is you would have Coentrao and a poor man's Coentrao. Combination of Kolarov and Clichy.<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:09 am --<br /><br />

He is second choice to Marcelo because Marcelo is the best LB on the planet IMO.

No chance.

Cole, Baines, Alaba and Alba all ahead of him.

Criminal to put Baines in the same category as those other 3. Baines is a very average defender that is very good going forward and seems to be flavour of the month right now because Everton essentially based their entire game around him and Fellaini last season

this, every time - Coentrao has been slagged enormously at madrid for his lack of defensive ability and mourinho was slagged for buying him
