GeoTav had always warned us of how mediocre he is and I had always agreed with him before hand. He is not a good enough player. He has the strength and shot power, nothing else. The brain is not there, he doesn't understand how to move and where to go on a field.
Must be said though - Abate was like that before and he has turned out to be a very solid player for us. Doesn't mean that everyone could do that though. Certainly doesn't help him that he doesn't speak the language and it's a position that is very sacred to this club.
I'd like all three of our LBs out actually. The only one I'd keep in the squad would be Antonini. I'd like to bring in a world class LB, we need a Dani Alves type of full back. Abate is a super solid FB, never going to be world class but solid, we need a WC fb on the other side I think.
Santon for Taiwo would be a very attractive deal. I don't even mind paying a little more on top. Newcastle got Santon for 5-6m last summer and we got Taiwo for free. Galliani would probably make them pay another 5m on top of Santon to get Taiwo
but joking aside, I think Santon for the next six months should be a very, very attractive option that we must look into.
