Papy Djilobodji

[manpe 10,861]

People calling this guy average when they've never seen him play. Crazy.

We're in almost November, and you are correct, we haven't seen him play. Must be a reason there when he can't get in THIS defence.

Our players have been performing below average so Papy could be a boost

Feel sorry for this guy. Someone probably just went on Google and typed in "average centre-backs available on the cheap" and he was top of the list.

Alot of prem clubs were after him,Cfc been keeping tabs on him for a while apparently! Can play in midfield also .Think he will be involved tomorrow night.

Our squad is not meritocratic, so a lack of game time , is no comment on his ability.

He's average. Nantes seem to be doing okay with him, put it that way. He never particularly impressed me when he was in France.

yeah i am sure you watched him play week in week out...

What a ridiculous statement. If that's the case then no-one is able to have an opinion on any footballer unless they watch them every week Have a word with yourself.

But how would an obscure name like papy , impress if you didn't watch him regularly?

LOL he never really impressed you when he was in France! he played in France for 6 seasons! so are you saying you watched him regularly for 6 seasons to make such a statement?

there is one thing having an opinion, and there is another thing calling someone average when you clearly dont watch him regularly to make such a judgment! Its ridiculous to call a player average after only watching them play a small amount of games! if someone had never seen Hazard play before and just watched him this season for the first time they would think he is below average! but yeah i bet you have watched Djilobodji play many times right? :lol: Have a word with yourself.

Considering the point you're trying but failing to make is based around how much French football you presume I watch, we'll just leave this here.

If Papy was anything more than average he'd be playing for us and our beyond shit defence, but I presume as he has a high 70s rating on FIFA you must figure he's William Gallas born again.

i dont play Fifa, and i am sure he isnt very good otherwise he would have played more minutes for us, but you based your opinion on apparently watching him in France, and its obvious you havent watched him regularly enough to say he hasnt impressed you in France and that he is average, so how did you watch him before the 2013/14 season when he was playing in Ligue 2? did you stream Nantes games when they were in the 2nd division?

[Essien19 1,415]

Haven't watched one single game of him yet.
It would be nice to see him get playing time,but i'd rather see Zouma getting his minutes.
One of Cahill and Terry is always going to play, especially during that desperate times.

Mourinho wanted Stones or maybe Marquinhos, the board gave him Papy, critisice the board for not doing their job properly and showing no freakin' ambition.

What's wrong with calling this guy average?

that is perry much a neutral statement and slightly positive, considering he was not even highly rated and unknown among regular Ligue 1 followers.

It's like having an opinion on a videogame you've never played.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Sorry many of our players can be aggrieved about not being picked but he is not one of them, if he had any brains he would have looked at the squad and realised he is just about last in the pecking order.

Alright...so how do you decide which game to buy and which game to pass on?

That isn't the point. The point being I don't criticise or rate something that I haven't seen, used or know anything about. Until then it is just an assumption based on conjecture. For instance, I bought The Witcher, when it was released back in 2008. I didn't know if I'd like it but I didn't have an opinion on it till I played it. I bought the game based on what I knew about it; being it's a point-and-click RPG. I didn't know if I'd like it or not, that is impossible.

Criticizing and reviewing a game without first hand experience is comparable to most forms of media, books, TV, film and even the ability of footballers

Sadly I think the main reason he doesnt play more is not because he would be better than other Cbs we have, but it has more to do with Mou preferences, stability and personal trust.

That said, I dont think he is better than our other defenders, but sure he should be given at least cup games to prove himself.

Few players get just straight into eleven, they get slowly integrated into, they play and eventualy start performing well. Integrating new players who are not household names has been huge problem for us under Mou.
