The Diego Carlos Thread

[Villan57]

Yeah I dunno, he seems to have the odd rickett in him, hopefully he's worth the cash.

VVD has the odd ricket mate. As long as he has less than Mings he'll be and improvement and just perhaps we won't lose half our league games next season

Was about to post the same. Name me a CB who doesn't have the odd mistake in him.

We wouldn’t expect you to know

Well he's obviously a lot better in the air than Mings is - not that that's difficult of course.

If he spilt your pint you'd say thank you. Sir.

Not the foggiest about this one but we're certainly addressing our lack of physicality!

Diego Carlos was part of the club's successful 2019–20 UEFA Europa League campaign.

In the run up to the final, he conceded penalties in both of Sevilla's quarter-final and semi-final matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United respectively and then also gave away a penalty early on in the final itself against Inter Milan

Why are AM selling him?

Wow this one came out of nowhere. Don't know too much about him but Sevilla are a very decent side, regulars in the latter stages of European competitions so if this guy has been a mainstay of their side then it bodes well. Some concerns about his age and the transfer fee, but if he has that extra bit of quality and can perform for 3 years or so then it will quickly be worth it

The general vibe appears to be that the better Sevilla got and the higher the level they played at the better he became and that's exactly what you want to see when someone goes from mid 20s to late 20s - it implies there may be more to come as he enters his early 30s.

It's refreshing to see a defender attack the ball in order to win a header in either box.

We've had some great centre-backs in the past who used to do that every game but I haven't really seen a player in a Villa shirt do it for a while now.

Yes you have to have at least one who goes and wins it , how long until he gets his Brazil call up i wonder now he's in the big boys league

 

[BringbakMON]

based on the youtube clips - between this lad and bubblecar I think the dippers have already been awarded a pen against us

 

[Villan57]

I think I've just seen him score a 25-yard freekick in a clip

 

[Pangloss]

We’ve been a team of fannies for too long, clearly the need to toughen up has been long identified.

 

[LewChatterley'sLover]

Is this guy related to Carlos Kickaball? Alan Sugar never rated him.

 

[mike_field]

Never seen him play, but I like how we're getting it done early.

I'm unsure about Gerrard but I'm positive these players are signing because of him and he is the one that has identified we are a bunch of bottlers with inferiority complexes, the number of games we have thrown away this season is there for all to see and as I said at the end of the season I'd shed no tears over any of them if we sign better replacements

Just going to read a couple of articles on him and pretend to be an expert by the weekend.

Ok. You do that and I will cover the research on possible sarcastic nicknames that the usuals will come with when he fails to win a header next season.
