I know it's pre-season but...

Reminds me alot of YaYa

Im sure we'll get him a cake for his birthday htough

Easily our most impressive player in preseason. Big lad, quick, strong and looks to want to be involved as much as possible. Like him a lot so far.

I didn't see any of it but eard good things, how did Coates perform, I have seen some people saying he was really good, other saying not so good.

Coates was Coates from what I recall. Looked composed one minute then was commuting himself recklessly the next. He's never going to be a top defender. Don't know why we still have him

Coates wasn't so bad he made some good interceptions and blocks but positioning needs to be improved on. Can does look good though. Sterling has learned so much from suarez people talk about players coming in to soften the blow but sterling is already doing that imo

Emre Can was referred to by Hoeness as the diamond of the youth ranks when Can was 16-17. He went on loan to bayer and played a lot at left back because both their starters were injured, and joined them full time when his contract had just a year to run and he wasnt renewing it so bayern cashed in while they could, while also keeping a % of the player's rights.

He wants to be a starter. Thats why he joined bayer on loan, and why he didnt renew his contract with them because they would assure him of first team opportunities.

Can could be a top player, great buy

Floored richards twice in 10 minutes

Sterling, Can and Sakho made all the difference when they came on imo

Coates was really good. He hasn't had much chances for us. He had one cup game when he was woeful and everybody seems to judge him on that one game.

However he's a good young player who offers you something different. You don't get Young Player of the Copa America easily, so he must have something about him.

Don't think Coates is mobile enough to play week in week out in our league. Italy / Portugal maybe. I'd like to see more of IIori as he has real pace. He needs to be fast tracked through

Sterling will get better and better I'm sure....just imagine if he can get near Digger's level!
