Agreed. Nice guy to have at the club. Hope he comes back and is good. Average PL back at best.

Anecdotal evidence from two friends means next to nothing. His national manager has more credibility and he starts Mori every time he's available and he's done well for them. Mori needs playing in position and playing out from the back. If Silva or Fonseca turn up here in the summer you can be sure they'll fight hard to retain Mori.

Let's start with the basics.
Mori: Is he better than Jagielka? YES
Mori: Is he better than Williams? YES
Mori: Is he better than Keane? YES
Mori: Is he better than Holgate? YES
Now anybody who claims Mason Holgate, regardless of a few decent games and his potential, is a better player than Argentine international Ramiro Funes Mori, needs their head testing.
For me it'd be a toss up between Holgate and Keane next to him, and I'd prefer Holgate to be honest. Keane always looks like there is a mistake in him. I really hope, but don't expect, that Allardyce with give them a chance to forget a partnership towards the end of the season.

Haha, maybe it's the weather?
But seriously, Funes Mori is garbage. I disliked him under Martinez- plays like bambi on ice.
We need far, far better.
However, i'll take your points and he might / probably prove me wrong.

How they struggled through their group is irrelevant. Plenty of factors there including games at high altitude etc.
Argentina are potential World Cup winners, in the last two major tournaments they’ve got to the final in both of them.
Has everyone lost their memory? Funes Mori is NOT a footballing centre half. He's about the worst on the worst on the ball of the lot of them and that's some achievement. He might look more assured but he's probably 'passed' more balls straight out of play than anyone I've ever seen. He looks like his boots are on the wrong feet half the time.
He's not a bad defender in general though, not the level I'd like us to be at, but a more than competent centre half in the PL. For that reason I hope he can come back at the same level as having a naturally left sided player would add some much needed balance.

Never let facts get in the way of an agenda.
Not according to the stats I've just checked on whoscored.com mate, where his pass success of 79.5% last season was bettered both by Jagielka's 82.8% and Williams's 82%.
As you can see, I haven't...

First site that comes up if you google passing stats, just tried Squawka and weirdly they agree with me. Feel free to share which site you've used to get your stats though, i'm always happy to find new learning material.
I like Mori and think he might be an improvement in a defensive sense, just not sure why people are suggesting he'd be an improvement in a footballing sense, because that's not really his strength in my opinion.

Nah lad though because he can play football he’s erratic and makes errors whereas the other 3 we’ve got who can’t play football are completely error free so let’s play our geriatric over 30s rather than an Argentine international in his prime.
