Isn't Skriniar quite slow?
He can look awkward And stiff at times. That’s been a constant criticism. However, I wouldn’t say he is slow. He is just as quick as any top centreback.
Yeah that would be my only reservation about him as well
I've been massively impressed with what I've seen of Badiashile, not just his huge physical prescence (6ft 4") and speed, but that he can ping accurate 40-50 yards passes about the pitch.
Yeah I would like us to go for him now unless we are very confident of getting Upamecano next year
Really depends if we are prepared to wait until next summer for Upamecano,if not then would go Badashile as my preferred choice out of him and Torres.
Well Badiashile is the only one available this summer that would be around that £30-£35m price range
I’m thinking to download one of Monaco match tomorrow to see what type of player he is.
I am just going to see what happens because quite honestly right now got no faith in us buying or selling any players this summer
prepared to wait until next summer = make no serious effort to challenge for medals next season.
I only say that because of the release clause becoming active then,however we really need to be signing someone this summer
Tall, quite fast but lacks agility. He has a good passing range - especially long range.
Yes, cant really judge as only reason seen him in Europa league, but after Hargreaves bigging him up so much, I was almost shocked how poor he was. Athletic, stron and with ability but like Rojo no brain on him whatsoever, almost like whenever an oopnent with the ball was near him he was a lit stick of dynamiteDiego Carlos is shocking so far watching him in quarter, semi and final. it's like watching Rojo.
Sevilla was trying to rip clubs apart by set 70m on him.
Edit: The overheadkick ability cost 70m
Diego Carlos actually had a very good season even if he did give 3 penalties away in 3 gamesDiego Carlos is shocking so far watching him in quarter, semi and final. it's like watching Rojo.

I'm convinced people who have been touting Skriniar as a solution for our eternal CB issues have never watched him play. He's slow as feck and mediocre at best, with his feet. Massively overrated.
Weak in the air, too.
I watched him many times and he is faster than Maguire or Lindelof. Not the best ball distributor though.
Because he got compared to Vidic once, the same reason people kept talking up Strootman because some posters compared him to Keane once upon a time. As we've seen with Smalling's performances the CBs in Serie A were massively overhyped. Not to say that there arent good ones that are younger than he is, but he was top 3 in the league with Godin and De Vrij - Godin who was statistically better than Smalling and De Vrij who was voted the best overall CB in the league. But they got to play with each other and for a much better team than Roma.
Shame i think we just missed that boat. Chelsea have swooped. He was a leader at Nice and has the skillset so be a opportunity missed if he kicks on at chelsea.
This is exactly my thoughts. Couldn’t be more right for us in so many ways. Yet doesn’t seem like we’re even half interested.
Why should we go after a young free transfer CB. We have Mengi and Tuanzebe who we give a try. We need an experienced CB
I think he would complement our current groups (Maguire, Lindeloff, Axel +/- Bailly) due to his speed and that he is a left footed CB (although I personally think that whole concept is overrated).
