Is this the same big lad that Giroud bullied to the floor for his winner on the opening Friday night?

Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Yeah good point. Big mistake by City if that scenario plays out.Arsenal or Liverpool maybe, imho he'd be ideal for City. Good touch and passing, comfortable under pressure and can bring it out from the back. Plus can defend. If they buy Evans for 30mil having passed on maguire for 15 I'd be well pleased

I remember Ruddock out muscling Pallister to score for Liverpool. Pallister probably the most dominant in the air centre half we've ever had.Is this the same big lad that Giroud bullied to the floor for his winner on the opening Friday night?

He was. He was still four inches shorter than the beastly Pallister though.Ruddock was a beast. A big fat beast.
Giroud is no Ronnie Corbett either. Probably in the top three headers of a ball currently in the EPL.
Either way it's one single moment of play!
You're right. There's not a defender in the history of the game who didn't lose a few 50/50s or get beaten to a header by a smaller man.He was. He was still four inches shorter than the beastly Pallister though.

He was also shite for the goal Welbeck scored. But that's exactly my point, he only plays for Leicester so his mistakes aren't going to be highlighted.He was. He was still four inches shorter than the beastly Pallister though.

Decent signing for Leicester, was a good player for Hull like Robertson who has moved also. The player premiership sides should and seem to be looking at for me is CLucas

Same goes for every single player outside of the big clubs. A kind of mass criticism.He was also shite for the goal Welbeck scored. But that's exactly my point, he only plays for Leicester so his mistakes aren't going to be highlighted.
People watch more football than you think. They've also seen plenty of good stuff from him.
He reminds me of a young fat Gary pallister. I like him.

Think he's very good. Commanding defender but also very good on the ball. We have too many cb's though.

Can't understand why Liverpool didn't take him at that price when they went in for Robertson at the same time.

Really impressed by him and Simpson today. Seemed to block every single shot or cross that came into the box

I mean, he was good and all, but you'd expect a gigantic unit like him to be making last ditch tackles and winning 50/50 tussles when the entire back-line was so tight together. Once the game opened up and Fuchs and Simpson were dragged a little wide he didn't look near as impervious as the BT commentator would have you know.
He is very tidy on the ball, though. Surprisingly so.

Really like him, have liked him since his Sheffield days, could see him going to Chelsea or Liverpool one day.

For his price he's been a great signing, considering they can probably sell him for £50m now. Not fully convinced by his defending but he's definitely good on the ball.

He always looks like he is about to cry.
Played well though. Liked the look of him last season as well. Van Dijk having a £60m+ pricetag can't be justified when this lad went for £12m. It's slightly different considering Hull got relegated, but still not by that much.

Weren't we linked with him when he was at Sheffield United?
He'sGood player. Will be interesting to see how he takes to international football. Him and Jones. What a pair of units at the back.

Also has a goal and assist this season in the first three games. He is handy at the other end of the pitch too. Wonder if he will start for England. A partnership of him and Jones would be interesting.

Excellent defender and very good on the ball.
Won't be long until he moves to a top club, in my opinion.
Had we not got Lindelof, I'd be all for this guy, who fits that same profile of defender.
Very good performance from him today.

So did Sunderland and Pickford went for £30m. Absolute steal.He always looks like he is about to cry.

You're right. It was £12m rising to £17m in reportedly 'achievable' add ons.£17m it was,

In the current market, definitely a bargain for an English defender.

With us spending (relatively) big bucks on Lindelof and Liverpool/Spurs/Chelsea all looking to spend megabucks on central defenders it looks as though Leicester have beaten everyone to the punch. This guy is class. Reminds me of Hummell.

Watched him today. Looks like a great bargain. I hate to admit, but he looks more solid than Lovren. We should have been in for him. But it seems like Klopp is either too stubborn or there's something behind the scenes going on. Why we haven't addressed out defense upto now, is beyond my understanding.You're right. It was £12m rising to £17m in reportedly 'achievable' add ons.

Understandable though. Looking good at Hull doesn't mean one can make the step up to a club challenging for top 4 spots. If he keeps it up he'll be bought by someone in 2/3 years.With us spending (relatively) big bucks on Lindelof and Liverpool/Spurs/Chelsea all looking to spend megabucks on central defenders it looks as though Leicester have beaten everyone to the punch.

Didn't stop Liverpool buying their left-back. Seeing as they're desperate for a central defender it seems borderline negligent that Liverpool signed Robertson but overlooked Maguire.Understandable though.

He's decent and 15m is good value. He'd get torn asunder playing for city or Liverpool IMHO.

Maguire and Keane both two solid CB transfers in the PL you should have been all over. Your scouting seems like shit or rather Klopp has failed to identify alternative targets to his first choice.Watched him today. Looks like a great bargain.

Likewise for DM, plenty of options out there like Romeu or N'Zonzi, yet no activity from you. I know you originally tried for a b2b midfielder in Keita but imo this is where this fabled transfer committee of yours should step in, you need a DM no matter what the silly German thinks, and one should have been brought in.
