Tosin Adarabioyo

[Tony P]

Think this lad needs a thread of his own. Liked what I saw tonight.

[sheblue]

Looks good.

[iwasthere2012]

To hell with next season. Go on Tosin. Stake a claim on a CB squad place. Good performance tonight. The same against the Scum, Dortmund and Arses. Pep has to be impressed.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Very good tonight and I am not at all surprised. Of course Danny Miils would hang him for letting the referee get an assist

[Tony P]

The worry is that he'll be loaned off somewhere and his place will be taken by a forty-million pound player ala Denayer.

[london blue 2]

I like the look of him. Same guy that played vs Chelsea?

[South Stand Balti]

I like the look of him. Same guy that played vs Chelsea?

Yes. He looks really good......could have a massive future and will be good for the quota thing.

If def give him game time early. Looks a proper player

[nottsblue]

Echo the above. Liked what i saw. Big lad and physical as well which are no mean attributes for a centre half.

[Swales4ever]

Looked excellent tonight: nicely composed, great confidence on the ball. very promising indeed.

"Nowhere near any U*D Academy graduate"... of course!

If that's the same Denayer I watched in the euros, then he's fucking shite. Absolute crap. Won't get near our first team.

Cheers

[PrezIke]

Was good against Chelsea in the FA cup match.

[Bluedj]

Our best player tonight outside Willy

[iwasthere2012]

Our best player tonight outside Willy

Thought Angelino didn't look too shabby either.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Yep, think this guy is going to get a few starts this season.

[aaron bond]

Yep, think this guy is going to get a few starts this season.

Not if we buy Stones and Bonucci. We should definitely have 1 of our 4 defenders as an academy player but never seem willing to give someone the chance.

With Kompany, Mangala and Otamendi already here, doesn't leave much room for an academy player, even if we only buy Stones OR Bonucci.

In an ideal world though we don't buy Stones and Otamendi is sold.

I am not sure this would work, but as Otter is very comfortable on the ball, having him as a defensive midfielder might not be a bad shout. Problem is he can't dive in, he shouldn't be doing that as a centrehalf anyway, but stop him from doing that and I think he'd do a decent job.

And against Real last summer. Couldn't agree more.

There is no "worry", no plot. If Tosin is thought to be good enough he will play for us

Will he? We tried to move Mangala on last summer and couldn't as he refused, as a result we loaned Denayer out instead.

What does that tell you? It suggests to me that Denayer was considered good enough if we were willing to move on a £30-40 million player to make space for him but we couldn't because Manga dug his heels in so the easiest solution was to send the kid back out on loan. Will the same happen again in similar circumstances? I hope not.

As for Tosin, a very good showing, done his prospects no harm at all with that performance.

The Mangala thing is only a rumour.

Denayer simply isn't up it it mate, sorry.
