Santos is cr*p

Santos is crap

Why did we sign this over-the-hill carthorse? From what I have seen so far this season, he has been directly responsible for a number of goals conceded and looks useless. I can't understand the logic of bringing him in.

Hopefully he will be dropped tonight not to pull on the stripes again.

He's one of the only players who would come here?

I'd rather have gone with Lynch and El Abd in central defence.

I concur, looks like Wilkins may well be going with that tonight.

 

[ipswichseagull]

he was brilliant against millwall, but i havent seen too much of him so i cant really say

 

[Skint Gull]

He was directly responsible for both goals against Bournemouth, i'd definately rather see El Abd and Lynch too!

The only player who would sign for MM?

 

[Turkey]

I disagree.

He's had some very good games for us and he's been very useful as an experienced pro at the back to help the youngsters.

Also it allows El-Abd to play right back and I think El-Abd is much better there.

I recall some very good Santos tackles at Bristol City and Millwall and he often positions himself well too head clear.

He's not without fault but he's always played in the Championship and it shows.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I thought he looked average against Milwall and that Lynch was outstanding. Lets face it, the Milwall forwards hardly gave him a test.

I think once fit Butters is a better option in that role.

 

[Napper]

yeah , im not a great fan . Has done ok but has calamity moments + i dont feel safe with him.
Also , not blessed with lightning pace

Agree with that. Neither is Butters though but at least he can hoof the ball in the right direction and is much more commanding in the air.

What rubbish. He's been at fault for a couple of goals but no more than other Albion defenders. He's very good in the air and generally been fine.

 

[bristolseagull]

Bollocks, how many games have you been too??

He was shit in his first game against boston- but that was a joke match, and yes he looked out of his depth against carlisle- but so did the entire team.

He's a decent player, wins everything in the air and the neccerssary experience we need in defence.

I said that after the Crewe game. An absolute waste of money. No offence to him, but he aint better than what we've got here already. Slow, old ,and past it.

 

[ipswichseagull]

at millwall he really did have that small striker in his pocket it was hilarious

 

[Jim D]

He came to us unfit and was thrown into the side - so it's hardly surprising he hasn't been 100%. As for Carlisle, I wonder if he came back too quickly from his injury?

If he's fit and injury-free I'm sure he'll have more good games than bad ones - especially in this division.

 

[The Large One]

He has one setting - KICK. If you happen to be in the way of one of these happenings, it can look like a great pass. Failing that, it will invariably end up in Malcolm Stuart's face when he is trying an 'across the back line' pass to Kerry Mayo.

You'd never guess he played for Ian Holloway, would you?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I don't think Santos is crap, I think he has alot of experience at the back for us, he is good in the air and definitely likes getting stuck in to a tackle, but the only fault I can see from Santos is that he hoofs the ball to much.

 

[LDH]

on a slightly different note. Any news on when Hinsh might be back? A hinsh and lynch partnership would be great (but probably short lived).

Santos is crap. FACT
