2018/19 Yerry Mina

[Steve0]

He's been lucky in my eyes to escape cards on numerous occasions. The fact that all I remember from his first season is his Digne piledriver is a bad sign. He may come good though.

Defenders arent memorable for good play so it's actually a good sign.

 

[toffeejack]

Played well when he has been fit. Plenty of time to come on.

People seem to forget how well he played against Chelsea at Goodison. He was unlucky to get injured with Colombia after that, and that's actually why Zouma ended up getting a sure run for so long.

And for all we know, it's the structure that's helped us get all these clean sheets and as you say, mina could have been playing all this time and had 10 clean sheets in 12. Think it's more because of a settled team than Zouma being better than mina, for example.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

He won't be going anywhere.

Let's assume Jags is off, and Holgate comes back and yeh we sign Zouma.

That leaves us with 4 CBs, one who has played more at RB and has been out on loan.

Why in the world would we sell a player we spent all summer chasing and have tied down on a 5-year deal. He's totally happy here.

Genuinely, stop imagining issues.

Mina chooses lad.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

1. We ain't getting Zouma.
2. Mina has proven to be a liability with his fitness.
3. Holgate ain't good enough.
4. Jagielka is finished.
5. Keane is very much hit and miss, although much better in the second half of the season.

CB is a huge area to concentrate on in the summer.

 

[Neiler]

"Do barca"...dont follow?

They have the concrete option of a buy back next summer, i think im right in saying. Like Del.

 

[BlueToff]

He's done well in most games he's played, City and Millwall being the exception. His injury record is definitely a concern, though. If we lose Zouma, can we rely on Mina to stay fit for a full season?

Maybe not, but if we lose Zouma - which is probably more likely than not atm - then we need another CB anyway, so I suppose we wouldn't really be in any more of a different position than we are now.

for 60m Euro or 54m sterling
I doubt they will be back

 

[Nymzee]

I still think he’ll turn out class for us.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I prefer to actually see a player have a run of games before I write them of personally

I agree ,the vaults can be merciless

I do, too, he has all the right attributes too become one of the best CB

I think he's solid enough just worry he's a crock now.

 

[Nymzee]

Just needs a bit of lemmo pre-match to feel at home.

Time to bring Jose Baxter back then

Oh right how about good defending then ?
