Souza

If Udogie can stay fit then he slots in as back up.
If Udogie can't stay fit Spence probably starts for now. Just gives us an option to rotate.

But we need to have other players lined up.

Fans complaining that its not what we need but its pennies in todays market and if he is ready to go its the back up we need for Udogie (when fit).

1 box ticked, now lets go and get a top class left sided player and a ball playing CM.

No issue with this guy at all, the problem is timing/PR (which reflects a bigger problem at the club)

- This kind of signing doesn't take 2 weeks to wrap up, no reason it couldn't have been done as quickly as we punted Johnson.
- This is a youth prospect, regardless of his potential, the chances of him really helping Frank and the club out of the current issues is pretty much zero
- On that, where is the players that will help him?

No we may go on and sign 1 or 2 that will walk in first team, but they would likely have missed 4 winnable games, the toxicity of the fans will increase, the perception that the club is scrambling and have no coherent strategy will continue.

Tim Vicory. I've never heard him say a single negative thing or caveat to a player linked from S America ever. Made career out of proclaiming the next big thing on players heading to Europe, when few end up being anything special. Maybe that is just him and scouts seeing potential and players not developing...?

You haven't listened closely enough, he often questions if a particular player will work in European football.

You plum :D Vickery literally does that in the video you guys are discussing, so you didn't even listen to it.
He said that the Allison that Villa bought seems a bit brick, only had 1 season, only scored 1 goal and doesn't look good.

The Souza chat starts around 8.30 if you want to skip to it and actually listen.
 
Strange people ragging on the takes that Paulinho was a talent before signing with us. The fact that he ended up doing pretty well for Barca should tell you. He was a talent. Perhaps not suited to this league, but it wasn’t a crazy signing.

Anyway. Souza, the exact kind of player we can expect to sign given our station, to add to depth at left back. I’d rather it be a highly rated youngster with potential. And seems like we’ve done that. I’m happy.
 
Udogie is first choice left back and you are not going to find much better than him imo, when/if he gets a run i’m sure he will be one of the best left backs in the league (Udogie that is)

I only listened to players linked with us. Every time he's talking about our signings - they are the next big thing. Amazing. And he gets rolled out each time to say the same thing.
 
It's good to know that our first choice LB is someone who for half the season is injured, and a quarter of the time is playing himself into fitness and form - incase you hadn't noticed since his first few months at the club he has not been that great.

This Souza I will assume judging by our other young signings in recent times be someone with a lot of talent and just dependant on how long he takes to settle and acclimatise to the league. Some have been instant, some take longer (eg Tel for various reasons). But I don't find it beyond the realms of possibility he is bought in with an eye to take the first team spot considering Udogies consistent absence and the fact by all accounts he has a lot to offer. This season is likely a write off so a good opportunity to give him plenty of minutes and gain half a seasons experience....

As I remember it paulinho was doing fine until he was clattered by someone, you know one of honest, not that kind of guy, hard but fair players that British football seems to worship.
A Matty Cash or Charlie Adam.
