Doesn't really mean much.

Fans are stupid.

He's off to Barca for 16m absolute bargain.

Time will tell if he's any good or not. I'm sure, if he's struggling, 'fans' will get on his back as they have done with Johnson, Lucas, Flanagan, Mignolet etc.

Who's ever got on flanagans back?

posted on 6/6/14

16mil not to bad, paying for potential abit, also madrid and chelsea were apparently looking at him apparently

Is that a joke KLS?

Many of those on here were demanding Flanagan be sold or let go for nothing only a year ago.

He's already at a decent LB level imo. Although he's only just had his first full season in the first team. He really does get up and down the flank.

We are paying for potential and he does have alot of potential to be realised imo. If we didnt move now, someone else would've snapped him up.

well flanno wasnt exactly great hes not got huge potential imo, was given a chance and was our best fullback, good player to have in the squad

Don't think anyone has overhyped him at all... just his fee is higher than expected.

Ilori, you said apparently twice there. That sentence didn't sound right

I'm happy with this purchase. As much as I love José, competition for the place will only help the team. Do you lads think Flanno will be taking up the RB position next season? And do you think Moreno will be first choice?

Flanno isn't spectacular and he's not going to be world class but he's a good solid player who can be depended upon when needed. He's also a local lad and you need a couple so the fans can identify with them.

Anyone else think Flanno should be moved to CB

posted on 6/6/14

Maybe in a few years but not right now, we've enough problems there at the moment!

Nope

the responses from fans is understandable since with their finances, selling a left back for 20 mil (euros) and plugging in another kid is far better than having to sell a recognised centre mid or striker, who is harder to replace quite so cheaply.
also suso seems to be the replacement for rakitic for this season and theyll see how it pans out for them.

sevilla are not in the position to press for the title, so for them champions league qualification is their main goal, and for that, in spain, you dont need a 20 mil left back. you can get that with a young left back, who can be sold on the following summer.


i am of the opinion that a left back and a right back should always be brought through the youth system, because the attributes you require from the position can easily be developed from a promising winger, or a quick centre back.

Was was interested to hear the Sevilla fans views on Suso, very complimentary. I hope we being him back for next season.

I thought they didnt want suso? it justs money isnt it?

posted on 6/6/14

I find it highly amusing how people are suddenly saying they were not on flanno back, everyone wanted him out last year!

It's not like the lucas situation where a few of us defended him and got abuse for "accepting.mediocrity" no one saw flanagan phoenix like rise from the ashes coming, he had been cäck for a season and a half.

I can honestly say I never saw anyone defending flanno last year, so it's surprising to see people saying they did defend him. (and I'm not saying they are lieing, merely that I don't recall them doing it)

posted on 6/6/14

Yeah...i meant in a few years time.

His positioning will be better suited at CB, plus he isnt the quickest but is decent on the turn, especially when he kick start his runs on his right leg. I remember him taking out Rafael, Mata & Januzaj with ease like that.
