Sol Bamba

[Common as Mook]

We won't play against a better centre half all year. An absolute beast.

 

[albie_noobs]

He was awesome yesterday, didn't put a foot wrong, they got him from Hibs I think for half a million but I may be wrong

 

[HP Seagull]

He was an absolute MONSTER. Had CMS in his pocket, unfortunately for us. Best centre half that I have seen outside the Premier League.

 

[Mendoza]

I thought Dunk was amazing yesterday, but this guy was different gravy. Best centre back performance I've seen in a while

 

[goodoldsussexbythesea]

Best centre back in our league by far. Couldn't go wrong yesterday, I like his song too, although it has to be started off by a drum...

 

[Halcyon]

He looked a great player, but talking to a couple of Leicester fans after the game, they said that he's normally a bit of a clown! Sadly it looks like he chose to have his performance of the season against us!

 

[NMH]

Their defense was pretty comprehensive in getting organized when under pressure, when I saw them in a preseason tournament in Stockholm.
If that was the player I saw on the right side, he looked like a weak link at the time.

 

[Albion Dan]

Best player on the pitch by a long way.

Couldn’t agree more. He was outstanding yesterday – we just couldn’t get past him!

Didn’t realise 6 was Bamba though. Watching the FL show last season, he has a cracking long range shot on him too!

We got Sol for £250,000 and he is proving to be an absolute bargain. He is absolute quality and there are not many who can get past him, once an attacker is within a metre of him he will get the ball off them 99 times out of a 100.
He has superb ability for a defender and often plays the ball out of the box taking on and beating opposition strikers in the process.
The one down side is he does sometimes overdoes things and loses the ball and consequently we concede a goal when there was no danger, this is what annoys some of our fans but personally I can take this quirk in his character as long as he remains as solid as he is 99% of the time.
He also makes some very strange tackles with those long legs of his leaving strikers bemused that he has managed to take the ball from them from so far away.

Agreed, this bloke was fantastic against CMS, to others thinking that CMS may not be up to it (seen it on other threads) some days you just have to say his marker was awesome and snuffed your main man out of the game and on Saturday Bamba was.

Even though, saying that CMS still could and should have scored, which although we got nowt on Saturday is a good sign for us as we still were creating chances as a team.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

He must have improved a lot in a short space of time because he was shite at Hibs.

 

[Simster]

Yes, I see Hibs have gone from strength to strength since he left, sitting as they do in second from last position in that there monkey tennis league.

Well, yes he has. He was absolutely OUTSTANDING on Saturday. I'm as one eyed as most when it comes to the Albion and hate praising the oppo too much, however on this occassion it was richly deserved.

 

[JJB]

Raped Lambert for their third goal the other week. Can't agree with the statement that he's the best in the league either. Leicester looked very vulnerable for the last hour against us.

Lambert probably sat on him, the fat ****.

Lambert is far from fat, in fact he's fitter than ever.

The 9 goals in 9 games (2 cup) would also suggest that he's started very well.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Seeing as Bamba kept CMS quiet, is this why we need someone like Paynter! He'd be the muscle and take the pressure away from CMS!

 

[Mendoza]

"Sometimes you are close to a heart attack when he wants to control the ball like Franz Beckenbauer, but I don't think he made any mistakes at all last Saturday. He was fantastic."
