Just me who think souttar is a massive risk
Click to expand...

Only seen his youtube clips, looks to be a Maguire/Keane type...clumsy and slow. Hes very wide, looks like hes the width of Holgate + Godfrey combined.

No idea if hes any good but I think whoever we sign needs to be a good passer and quick as opposed to solely being a clogger.

Do we have a team that presses?

We have a team that is actually trying to press a bit. We're like the 8th/9th-highest for pressures I think (though most of that will have been Allan and Doucoure).

We're pretty crap when it comes to those pressures being successful, though.

His biggest strength is obviously his height but he is Stoke captain and he has excellent defender attributes because he is a basic defender not much putting his foot on it and striding forward which you'll say is a "modern defender"

Stoke are going very well but I'd say we are will not be playing a high line so he will sweep up any long balls and look stop play through the line.

Only concern for me is price tag, talk if £20m is a bit too much considering he cost £300k and all he has done is play for Fleetwood (loan) and Stoke in 2 years. He is very one dimensional, just defends and in the Premier League you do need to be a bit more about yourself but looking at Maguire I'd say otherwise.

Zat prefers the athletic but no idea what they're doing types. And tbf I get it because when those go right over time you get Raphael Varane. Far more frequently they don't go right.

I like how a header is now so rare it's a crazy defensive skill.

We need a defender that can actually defend tbh because Mina is the only one we have who can.

And Small is nowhere near their squad, even for a league cup match. Hes getting less opportunities than he had here.

His agent will have got a good sign on fee for the move though. Sometimes it's no more complex than that.

Remember being gutted about this.

I'd say if we signed Souttar he would be most likely Mina's replacement.

I love Mina and he is our best defender but we are not getting 30+ apps a season and he is one of our top earners (£135k a week)

He has just over a year left so next summer is the perfect time to sell with AC Milan looking at him, he may feel that style of football would benefit his own body.

Well in that case this Souttar better be as good as Mina right now otherwise we are in a world of very big trouble.
