A left back, apparently, don't know much more about him, but LB is one position that we could do with strengthening.
I remember him from the World Cup, seems a very good player. Maybe backup in case we don't get Santon or maybe we're planning on using Santon at right back?
He is pretty good to be honest. Would be happy with him, but I'd prefer Santon because of his PL experience.
This would be a big signing. Santon had a big reputation as a youngster and hasn't really lived up to it. I would rather take Holebas
Really?? He has had a pretty interesting career, only starting to play football in his early 20's as a striker in the lower leagues of Germany. He only signed for Roma last summer and was a very highly rated defender who kept Ashley Cole out of the Roma team for a while and scored this screamer against Inter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX_m1wgsiLY He relies on his pace (he is very quick), which is something to watch out for now he has turned 30, but would be an amazing coup if we pulled it off.
Wouldn't blame him for wanting to leave after watching that youtube video, celebrating a goal and your team mate is sticking his fingers up your bum! Poor guy is probably traumatized!
For the love of me I can't understand why they would want to get rid of him. Was superb for them last season.. Would become a fans favorite if he does end up with us... Loves to get stuck in.
Every time I have seen the play he has looked like the real deal. Santon is sound but never even came close to making good on early promise.
All of them are inter changeable as well, well at least 3 of them are, don't know if Holebas can play right back as well as left back.
Editor of the Roma Press says Holebas is his most disliked Roma player ever and "acts like an idiot on field". Also said defensively he is awful.
Of greater concern is the number of Greek ones that we're considering. We're in grave danger of being the single largest pillar in that tinpot economy. If we thought the Vic was an expensive rebuild, trying to shore up that whole cesspit is.....
If we sign all the players we've been linked with we'll win the league ! Purely on the basis that no one else will have enough players to field a side
Never seen him play myself but not read good things about him from a few people. The guy who is saying the deal is done is far from complimentary too. Obviously judge him when I see him myself but far from excited by this.
Never seen him play, but last season he started 24 league games and played in 9 out of 10 of Romas' European games ( 5CL, 4 Europa). AS Roma came 2nd to Juve in Serie A. He must be pretty decent. Kept Ashley Cole out the team for most of the season
Roma people on Twitter reckon they'll probably get €1.5-€2m for him. Reminds me a bit of the reviews Motta got from Juve fans before he arrived here. Bear in mind that the standards of the fans of teams like Roma will be much higher than ours. Not many United fans that rate Smalling but he'd be a great signing for us.
Trust me you will love this guy. He is so positive going forward and really gets stuck into a tackle. Guarantee you he will be a fans favourite.
He's good enough to get picked for England and United. He'd be our best right-back. Anyway, it was just an example.
I know it's a highlight reel, but he does seem decent. [video=youtube;f6WC5xdk6eI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6WC5xdk6eI[/video]
