Can anybody fill me in about Cirkin? Style/temp etc.

Any vids as I've not found much.
It is very hard to find good footage of Dennis Cirkin and the only clips you will find are of him when he was very young and they have been posted on this thread.

Most who have watched Cirkin on a regular basis will agree he is the best LB we have had in years.

As he is now he is about the same size as say a Ben Davies, he is a strong runner who can run with the ball at pace, he does get up and down the pitch very well and I would say he is very much a Mourinho type of player and I hope at some point in time he will get his chance when he is ready.

Let’s give him a chance then. It’s the only way we will find out.

pretty sure this is about his contract, i mean jose said as much in one of his recent press conferences.

it's a dangerous game we're playing, parrott could be kane's successor if the stars align but instead we now risk a sancho situation.

Even more frustrating that he's still playing a disillusioned Eriksen, who we all know is leaving us, instead of trying to integrate Parrott and give him some game time.

Really, really impressed by Tanganga again. Things to learn but grabbed the game by the balls at times. Fair play.

As @edson said he is probably most similar to Davies. He is very mature, and takes responsibility from LB. He knows he is a senior player in our u18s and he isn't a swashbuckling LB but a very sensible one, in that he knows how to defend well, but he makes the right decision about when to go, and when he decides to go, his ability in the final third is excellent. He actually has found himself in CM or no 10 position and is the type of player that has the ability/composure to take the ball on the half-turn in these areas and link up player. Alternatively he can stay on the outside and get a ball in or do the ole Baines underlap. His close control is also good, he's no afraid to use his right food when needed either.

I'd argue he's one of the most well-rounded FBs we've had but an excellent player. So whereas I always said Brown was equally good in attack and defence and often underrated by many, I think Cirkin is a better defender and better attacker than Brown but now KWP good. As people know I was a big fan of his u16s and then he was more skillful attacker but has just developed really well.
