QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jan 8 2013, 07:34 PM)  No? I'd take him. Is he worth it when we have Abate and DS? It think the entire thing would be pointless. That area should be the least of our worries as it's one of our strongest, both in first choice and back-up. It would just be ridiculous to sell Abate because a meager 15m is dangled before our noses and then bring on another headache of having to replace him and spending potentially around 10m for Santon. Focus on the LB position and that would be enough, We had a chance at Armero and once again passed it up while another Serie A team that's in direct competition with us jumpd on it, just like with Rossi

Wait...isn't Santon a RB and LB? And also, this is in case we sell Abate.

Plus, he's a Inter product. It's always nice to pick them up and make classy players out of them. Santon is just a talented player who would deserve a shot with us.

He's naturally a RB. And if we're going to be spending 10m to sign a FB then I'd rather we finally fix our LB issue completely. Don't get me wrong I think Santon is a very talented player. But he's not better than Abate and I can't see him surpassing him, while I believe DS also has more potential

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jan 8 2013, 09:46 PM)  Have you seen Santon at Newcastle? He's one of the best full backs in the league. He's far superior defensively to what we have. Yes I have. I wouldn't say he's defensively superioir to Abate. (You underrate Abate terribly so your barometer is terrible skewed) Like I said, I like him a lot as a player. But my question is, would you prefer him on the left over a natural LB. Because if your answer is yes, (and you've probably seen him more than I have in the EPL) then I would be all for signing him for the LB position. Certainly would be a huge upgrade on that side of the pitch. But I wouldn't want him at the expense of Abate
