Player Watch Player Watch: Destiny Udogie

[Pochemon94]

This guy from the highlights reminds me a lot of Alphonso Davies… sign him up

 

[Fredo]

Like the loan back idea. We don't need him now but Perisic will turn 35 in the 23/24 season so makes sense to line up his successor.

? Perisic will be able to go till 40 and play with fitness like a 30 year old player. Don't see why he can't be in our starting XI for the next 4-5 years as long as he's consistently good and we have a manager like, or preferably still, Conte which will set up with this type of system.

Has he been diagnosed with asthma then? ?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

He’ll be loaned back for a season mate.

Makes sense as a succession plan when Perisic moves on

Haha Sky Sports Ticker says Spurs pushing to sign Udinese Left Back Gianluca Di Marzio
Muppets

 

[Cavehillspur]

Was hoping this link would pop up again he looks quality.

? looking long term for Perisic replacement. Make sense if we have the money.

Can he seriously be a WB in the premier league when he’s 40?

Never say never although it does sound ludicrous I must say. Just think its very much possible though.

I think as players (wingers) get older (35+), they will migrate in to the centre where others can do the running. Irrespective of how long he plays on, the fact that Sess and another young player if we sign one will learn so much from him. You don’t continue at the top at 33 without conducting yourself in a professional manner of the pitch. He has as much to offer off the pitch as to on it with regards to mentality

He certainly looks a bit fluffy around the middle here, needs to take care of his body better.

Especially a good sign if it is a Conte-player... signings for the future requested by him ?

I mean I hope you're right - the man is built like a machine - but we only have a 2 year deal so he might not even stay with us. Or he might lose it a bit in the next two years. None of us truly know how long he can last at the very top level as a wing back.

Definitely outta shape.

I'm 51 and don't have wrinkles on my stomach.

There's literally only 4 outfield players that are still really good at 35+.. Modric, Ronaldo/Messi (obvious issues regarding that), & Thiago Silva.

Expecting to rely on him for another 4 years would be nuts.

 

[werty]

I'm all for signing young players I've never heard of. Would prefer a loan to an English team.

He's a few ounces away from being:

I would like us to start signing players that are 17 - 18 and get them HG if possible. Hopefully with FP that should start happening.

 

[H-SF]

Maybe we’ve moved for him as we‘ve seen Brighton are losing Cucurella and fear they might go in for Udogie as the replacement.

 

[Pimpa]

Would be a top signing, it’s very hard to find lwb prospects and he’s the best one out there
