Its not hard to tell if a player is fast or not.

Yeah because that's all you need to make it at the top level.

How many times have you seen him play?

About 4 times. Enough to know he is fast, strong and can cross a ball

I just got a serious dose of deja vu

The most talked about traits for Dalot from every scout and scouting site. has been his speed, strength and crossing abilities.
Love people ripping into Bangkok for mentioning these traits might surprise a few, and questioning how he would know this, or what his style is like.

If it's a case of 4 games not being enough to judge I'm sure people will limit discussing his traits after tomorrows game, wait until an acceptable sample size is formed.

ah it’s just nonsense like. A player that’s fast and strong in a couple of reserve games, with little to no first team experience “will surprise a few people”


It’s just hot air. Like he either will or he won’t.


If he does it won’t be any special insight or for sight by Bangkok

It keeps the nonsense ticking the pages over here nicely though and I’m a little annoyed with myself for replying.

I've been on the opposite side of these arguments over the years, but if anyone else had of posted that I don't think it would have led to the same reaction.

As for Dalot, the only time I've seen him play is in the game against Liverpool in the CL last year. But his ability and potential has been discussed a lot.

I'm not sure what to expect from him like most, but even after we signed him someone posted a highlight video from youtube and comments were rolling in about finally having a fullback who can put in a cross. Nobody was jumping at those posters for this assessment from a short youtube video.



Anyway, I'll try move on as it wont get us anywhere. If reports are true that Shaw and Dalot will both start then I'm very excited about how things will go tomorrow.

I doubt he will surprise many as he is pretty much an unknown quantity, very few would have seen him play more then a handful of times, predicting how he will step up to the first team would be merely guesswork

Its fun to paint a young player as the next Ronaldo.

Especially since when he fails to live up to the crazy hype, you have found a new stick to beat your "No good with youth" pinata with....

It's more the "I think Dalot will surprise a few" that gets people questioning bangkok, I mean seriously who's he going to surprise. He is saying it as if people are questioning Dalots ability yet most,including himself, have seen very little of him. He then goes on to puff out his chest quoting traits that he probably seen on a YouTube video. It's those posts that grind people the wrong way.

You can defend him as much as you want, you seem to do a hell of a lot of it, but you need to see that, that sort of posting style is just going to wind up a hell of a lot more people than not

All i said was dalot was fast strong and can cross a ball.

I never claimed he will be the next dani alves

Saying someone will surprise people then saying all I said was someone is fast and strong when pulled up on the ridiculousness of claiming some inside knowledge on even the potential of a player in Dalots position also wind a lot of people up.

It's small potatoes though.

Mmm, I wonder where I heard that before?

Fosu mensah has had a very good loan spell, quick and can deliver a good cross.

fosu mensah looks like the man for me... a beast with and without the ball, comfortable with ball at his feet and very quick

Nope, its not coming to me, thought I'd heard something before about a world class right back at United. Never mind I guess.

People were saying when we signed him that he prob wouldnt play much this season and would play next season when valencia is probably gone... i said he will surprise a lot of people and play a lot of games

What was wrong with what i said? He did have a very good loan spell with palace. He is good with ball at his feet, he is fast and he can cross the ball

I'm afraid I'm not going to go down that particular rabbit hole with you my old friend. Gonna have to get someone else to play the old shift the goalposts game today.

Hopefully Shaw gets game time if he's fit enough and cleared, vital to keep the good momentum he has going. Dalot will get a few minutes hopefully whether he starts or not doesn't really matter at this stage for him.

Perisic subbed for inter. Poor enough. Think we dodged a bullet with him

Yeah, he's a good man, and thorough.

Spurs and Poch in a spot of bother .

Very naive of Poch not to get signings in the summer,Kane looks wrecked.

Strange decisions from him and similar to Saturday.
Would he be able for the pressure and expectation of a big club?

I see Chong has travelled with the squad, no chance of him playing but good to give him the experience and get more time training with the main squad.

Should see him against Derby soon in cup.

Adamocovic

Also don't we know after that talk Dalot wont start the game! :P

It is a strange situation where players are left behind because the artificial pitch could lead to them picking up an injury.

I think he will surprise a few with his facial expressions on the bench

fatherted1969

Bit of a boys club re whatever bangkok says in here at times. It's well documented what Dalots strengths are so why the big deal when he says it ?

Anyway looking forward to seeing him and Chong play right side of the team hopefully soon enough. I don't see much of Chong to have a balanced opinion but he looks a fantastic prospect from what I've seen of him

Not a chance
No bottle to challenge his CEO and get signings in

Attractive football only gets you so far
Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche are as deserving for what they've done on far smaller budgets with smaller apoeal

Oh so poch hadn't the balls to challenge his CEO.. so that'll please Ed..
Clearly he has no suitability for the United job

It's easy thanks from the usual suspects, especially if a goalpost reference is involved.
