Davide Santon

Ridiculous....

 

[Pajo]

Just when he will string 2-3 decent games, he will do something like this. I am very curious to see how he does in the next few games.

Strange player. Always shows up vs. the best teams such as Chelsea, United or City, and fails in others.

Branca did great to sell him :thumbsup:

Lovely assist.

 

[Kakaroto]

Nice finish by Rodrigo.

Rodrigo ---- Icardi up front.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Pretty dreadful pass. You'd think he would be ironing out those kinds of mistakes by now.

Well we already have one of them and apparently the other one is coming in the summer. So could be!

You guys kinda overreacting here. It was a horrible mistake (very funny too) but that's all it was, a mistake. Please don't act like you haven't seen even world class defenders do dumb shit like this.

 

[Pajo]

They do, but it remains to be seen how he copes with it. Usually world class players do it, and it's done, they move on like nothing can happened.

That's why i said yesterday i'm curious to see how he does in the next few games. He did string few great games, even scored his first in one.

It doesn't matter how he does in the next few games. He's a 22yr old wing back. We'll see what his development is like over the next couple years but as of right now, he's still too young, especially for a WB.

WBs typically take longer to develop and even the top younger WBs today make mistakes like crazy. Even somebody like rafael still makes mistakes, and he's been in development under one of the greatest coaches of all time for YEARS. De Sciglio looks good but also makes tons of mistakes; he just made a ridiculous mistake v Brazil that cost them goal #2. Just think about how Contreao (25yr now) was just 2 years ago....HORRIBLE defending and horrible mentality, yet today, he is much improved.

With WBs, you just have to see the talent and just let them develop. A very, very difficult position to get right and very difficult to assess who's going to be great and who's not. Even someone like Kyle Walker (23 in a month or so), very fast and solid on defense but he's HORRIBLE on offense. Can't cross for shit and still makes mistakes. You literally cannot name a single WB U25 who is consistent and doesn't make ridiculous mistakes. Shit, even the world class ones like Dani Alves still make stupid ass mistakes..

Jonathan is 27 (?) - there's still hope

Sienna Santon is born !

 

[JJM]

Santon is the same age as me and he has a kid ...

 

[Dylan]

Still can't get full stubble

 

[German_Interista]

Congrats, I guess although I doubt that it was a "wished child". Never trust a bitch that she takes the pill and you don't need a condom. I guess Il Bambino has learned this the hard way

 

[Fitzy]

Still can't get full stubble

I feel his pain.

 

[Nerazzurri_Ninja]

We should sign Santon back
