NewConvert Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Resume is not impressive for a visa player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 The positive is that at least he has been playing pretty regularly, over 80 games in last 4 seasons, and we have seen that random south Americans with no CV can come here and star eg Gui Finkler and Mikael Doka. The negatives are the obvious, who the hell is this guy and is the Russian 2nd div going to stack up here. Hopeful he can be something, but that's all we have at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayv36 Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Going by his YouTube video he likes a slide tackle and has a sweet cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Signed for 2 years so effectively a 1 year contract knowing our recent record with Visa players. Either way I hope he's a madman. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanty Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Seems to be a versatile depth option which is always good to have, can play 3 positions. 3 visa slots left now so hoping for some more guaranteed starters from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Given his history, weren't there any locals capable of doing the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't resile from the view that visa players should be starters, not signed to "provide depth." 3 hours ago, NewConvert said: Given his history, weren't there any locals capable of doing the job? A very good question. Does he have what Politidis lacks? We've just seen Galloway move on, I'm sure not least in part because we signed Fernandez on loan, whereas I couldn't see that Galloway was second-best in any respect whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just seen Galloway move on, I'm sure not least in part because we signed Fernandez on loan, whereas I couldn't see that Galloway was second-best in any respect whatsoever. Galloway plays on the right and Fernandez played on the left. When Behich departed (who had replaced Bos) they tried playing Galloway on the left which was not working and then he got injured. My thoughts are that Galloway left because no matter how bad Talbot played, Talbot was not going to be benched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 What we really need is a specialised DM that can offer what O'Neill gave us. I'm not6 sure how a utility defender adds to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully put warranted pressure on Talbot at RB given how frustrating he was last season! Besides that he may fight for a CB position or maybe even DM. You are right in the fact it seems an odd acquisition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
