Would you take Fabio back?

Mon Jul 02, 2018 3:31 pm

Seen he’s available for around 2 million?

Solid right back and a fans favourite!

Won’t happen mind but I’d have him back

Was indeed a fan's favourite but defensively struggled when we were last in the Premier League so it's a thanks but no thanks for me.

Not surprised if Pulis wants him out - you have to be at least 6'10" to play in a Pulis team.

Yeah you're right, he's as much a right-back as a left-back.

But no, wouldn't take him back personally as I'm more than happy with Peltier, and Richards as a back up. :ayatollah:

Yeah, pair him up with jazz Richards on the other flank and watch the goals go flying in. At our end of course.

No - not good enough!

Loved Fabio but no, doesn't fit how we play unless we change to wingbacks, still think warnock would want someone bigger and stronger.

Your more than happy with Peltier really? He is way too slow would get slaughtered in the prem. we desparatley need a RB and CM then we should be okay. Two CM and striker if I’m being greedy.

Saying that he was a RB is like saying that Manga is a RB, just because he played there. He did start there for us when the OGS was making a hash of things but we was clearly out of position. Loved him on the left though. He had a tendancy to lose his head sometimes but that was because he played with such heart. Would I have him back? Not now but only because he is a LB and we are well covered there now.

Don't you just love a player who goes to Swansea as a Middlesboro player and pisses of the jacks by doing the ayatollah?

Yes. Love him as a player and better right back than what we’ve got.

I thought he’d gone back to Brazil though ?

IMO Peltier is the worst player in our squad. Offers nothing going forward gives the ball away time and again is caught out of position and his supposed strong point (solid defender) is a complete myth. Just what anyone sees in him is a mystery to me. :?

Not good enough for Premiership, I have a feeling Warnock is happy with Peltier,Manga and Richards to cover RB and is only looking for a CM (2 if Gunnarsson doesn’t sign) and another striker.

He was a left back who filled in at right back

Loved him when he was with us. But we have enough in his position. Sure he can cover RB. But so can others. We shouldn’t now be after cover. We should be after likely starters. So sadly. It’s a no for me based on the present squad make up.

No .... crap defender
