Is there no chance Angelino starting?

I don't think he'd ever go straight into the lineup, but Clichy is solid, good on the ball, and though he won't do much in the final third, he's good enough to start.

Angelino would offer a more attacking alternative for games where we think we'll dominate or they have a dodgy right side to exploit.

And maybe after a year or two learning under pep, getting used to the top level, and filling out a bit, Angelino might be able to take over.

Well based on my previous post. I admit he is better than Kolarov. He was consideredby many to be the 2nd best LB in Europe. Don't think he is in the top 10. He is a decent player who scores freekick and penalties.

A dustbin filled to the brim is fucking faster than Kolarov.

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.

But better than we have by some way?

I agree he's not Maldini, but what options are there? To be honest Angelino would be an upgrade on what we have. He's better going forward than clichy and kolarov

Taye Taiwo had a similar reputation.

Gibbs would be a better signing.

Barry Gibb maybe.

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

Definitely, and in sure there was a reason we spent all that money on the academy...

Angelino is a very intelligent player, and in sure he'd pick up the defensive side quickly under a top class coach

But better than we have by some way?

But I'm including Angelino in "what we have".

I think Kolarov is being pushed out of the door, and Clichy-Angelino is a very complimentary pairing.

Couldn't understand it. Like others said, he had a release clause and we didn't used it. That means we weren't interested at that time. Why? Was there any other LB we wanted and we didn't get? Think that Italian guy was a RB?

Where are you were all the summer mate ? We all miss you (: you have info about other sinings mate ?

 

[Cheadle Blue]

I would rather we use the 20m towards another striker, or to go balls out for Sanchez, but if it was a choice between clichy, kolarov and Rodriguez, then it's Rodriguez for me, but I agree on Angelino

Perhaps Kolarov's pre season trial run has given Pep sleepless nights, & he hasn't got time to give Angelino a full testing, hence this ?

A fullback that can cross is an upgrade we have needed for a few seasons. The amount of times we fuck up from wide positions is a problem pellers never sorted or even mancini.
