He'll be more of a contender though because he's not that immediate upgrade on Lindelöf that many here desire.I like this idea, he’s looked very solid for Fulham. I thought Fulham had actually signed him so that’s a good option for a decent price
Ok, haven’t seen enough to comment on his paceHe is exactly the type of defender who'd compliment Lindeloff or Maguire stylistically. But he also lacks pace.....
Me being one. I just want someone, anyone, who can defend better over the course of a season than Lindelof. I know it’s weird timing considering he’s played well recently, I want someone who will be more consistent over a seasonHe'll be more of a contender though because he's not that immediate upgrade on Lindelöf that many here desire.
How would his style compliment Maguire if he lacks pace? Haven’t really seen him play at all so would be interested in a more informed opinion on him, seems to be getting a lot of praise across the board.He is exactly the type of defender who'd compliment Lindeloff or Maguire stylistically. But he also lacks pace.....
That means he can´t really complement them right?:-)He is exactly the type of defender who'd compliment Lindeloff or Maguire stylistically. But he also lacks pace.....
How does that work?He is exactly the type of defender who'd compliment Lindeloff or Maguire stylistically. But he also lacks pace.....
Remember Vidic? He was as slow as Maguire and Lindeloff. His defensive style was nothing like theirsHow does that work?
Wrong. He is an aggressive pro active defender. The opposite of both of them in defensive styleThat means he can´t really complement them right?:-)
You'd prefer to spend £40-50m (assume he'll cost around that) on Lewis Dunk? I personally wouldn't.He is better in air than Lindelof but less pacy than him. Not sure how he would be in a high line. Looking good at Fulham though.
If we have to pick someone from EPL, I would prefer Dunk.
yep. He’s been very good for Fulham. Lyon must have some pretty good defenders.He is exactly the type of defender who'd compliment Lindeloff or Maguire stylistically. But he also lacks pace.....
They're 4th and conceded 31 goals in 31 games. They came 7th last season with 27 goals in 28 games last season with Anderson playing 17 games. So not much differenceyep. He’s been very good for Fulham. Lyon must have some pretty good defenders.
Joachim Andersen is not better than Lindelöf, sorry to say.Me being one. I just want someone, anyone, who can defend better over the course of a season than Lindelof. I know it’s weird timing considering he’s played well recently, I want someone who will be more consistent over a season
Looking at the stats @Ekeke posted, he appears to be strong in the areas that lindelof is not, so he might still be an option. Depends if we are looking for a guaranteed starter or someone to competeJoachim Andersen is not better than Lindelöf, sorry to say.
If you are looking for a consistent World Class defender then it's not Andersen that you'd want and I rate Andersen.
I think he'd be a good addition to the rotation but I don't think he'd be a guaranteed starter and he certainly has flaws.
He was a fighter and a great defender and Ferdinand was fast, athletic and a great defender and great on the ball. Maguire has all the skills for a great central defender safe for pace. He needs a fast, athletic defender to cover. Pace is what Maguire needs the most for his partner imo as everything else he is superb at. Maguire is pro active too, but he can be only so much knowing there is no pace to cover.Remember Vidic? He was as slow as Maguire and Lindeloff. His defensive style was nothing like theirs
But Andersen was absolutely horrible for Lyon, completely exposed each time they played a high line. Pace and decision making were severely lacking, and it's not like they didn't try to put him in the best conditions. They tried 3 at the back, 2 at the back, he was horrible in both.They're 4th and conceded 31 goals in 31 games. They came 7th last season with 27 goals in 28 games last season with Anderson playing 17 games. So not much difference
I'll take your word for it. Barely saw him for LyonBut Andersen was absolutely horrible for Lyon, completely exposed each time they played a high line. Pace and decision making were severely lacking, and it's not like they didn't try to put him in the best conditions. They tried 3 at the back, 2 at the back, he was horrible in both.
Fulham is probably his level.
I say that based on what I’ve seen from Andersen. They must have some good centre backs to not need him.They're 4th and conceded 31 goals in 31 games. They came 7th last season with 27 goals in 28 games last season with Anderson playing 17 games. So not much difference
He is 29 + and don't think Brighton will ask for 40m.You'd prefer to spend £40-50m (assume he'll cost around that) on Lewis Dunk? I personally wouldn't.
I'd much rather we picked up a cheaper but competent 4th choice defender and have rotation between Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly and new guy.
I'm not sure Dunk is the answer. I like Konsa.He is better in air than Lindelof but less pacy than him. Not sure how he would be in a high line. Looking good at Fulham though.
If we have to pick someone from EPL, I would prefer Dunk.
23 year old. 60 m +I'm not sure Dunk is the answer. I like Konsa.
Sorry but rating him above Maguire is ridiculous. He's not even next in line for England if Maguire was injured. Would be Mings, Coady or Keane23 year old. 60 m +
Dunk would be a good signing for 25m. I rate him above Maguire.
He scores goals which is a sure sign somebody will overrate someone.Sorry but rating him above Maguire is ridiculous. He's not even next in line for England if Maguire was injured. Would be Mings, Coady or Keane
