[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

FFS it's 6:30am over here. Woke up certain I would find a pic of him holding the shirt by now.

I doubt it. You only have to watch the gif - the centre half is far too slow to see the danger, and then when gets there he is totally wrong footed and does the sort of skid you might see on Scooby Doo and gifts Leicester's new man about 5 yards of space.

That's the thing with Portugal/Netherlands/Belgium - it's not that there aren't some very good sides in those leagues, it's just that half the league is genuinely League One standard.

Oh very much so.
But then again over half the Premier League is indistinguishable from the top half of the Championship.

Anyway my post was more of a little wallow on Pascal's greatness for turning players inside out, than a critique of Premier League defenders.

As you say it won't be long before we see how much space Dunk & Duffy give him.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Can't be long now - unless there is a problem.

Am I going mad? That is not a centre half.

I don't think a PL central MIDFIELDER is going to get beaten that easily, but probably more easily than any prem CB.

 

[Albalbion]

I really hope Tau's medical goes through at AZ so we can make a completely unrelated signing.

It's Pascal's deceptive speed.


No-one expects him to do it quite that slowly (twice)

God I so loves those turns.

I'll gonna get so titsy if there isn't at least one a game next season.

Er, no it isn't. Last season, WBA were gash all season, while Stoke and Swansea both huffed and puffed and looked ordinary. It was criminal how the next worst side - Southampton - were ever playing as badly. But of the teams that went down, Stoke are favourites for coming back up despite having lost their best player.

Weren't Villa, 12 months ago?

It can and there's absolutely nothing to suggest that there is.

Yes we all now know he is a midfielder, as someone mentioned it ten minutes ago. It wasn't obvious from the footage though, where he rushes out from a line made up of his two centre backs. I had assumed he was a third centre back.

Regardless, and as you say, no player in the Prem is likely to defend like that.

 

[Originunknown]

Is Tau being offered on loan to Alkmaar as a makeweight in the deal?

Has this been confirmed or?

Same, someone needs to make a montage.

Yes.

So how does that prove your point that half of the Prem is indistinguishable from half of the Championship? It clearly is.

 

[Two Professors]

Can't stand it any longer,off to paint the kitchen ceiling and watch it dry.

Absolute nonsense. Look at the kind of players we have signed. Do you really think players in the top half of the Championship (say, Derby) are just as good? Total and utter bollocks.

Love his Cruyff turn but I don't think he will get away with it so often now that Premier League defenders have had a season to study his witchcraft up close.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Must be the heat. A lot of people seem to be getting really aggy with fellow BHAFC fans.....

This.

Pure drivel

Depends how you take Noo's post.
