ITK from @Hercules that Cirkin has been impressing staff and players in training. Didn't someone in here post a little summary of what type of player he is? All i know is he has the biggest quads in our team, besides maybe Aurier
So you've done a Bielsa?

Very solid left back. He's pretty well rounded and so won't get pigeon-holed into either being an attacking or defensive fullback. He's physically strong, has decent pace and great stamina. His passing is good as well. I'm trying to think of a good comparison but I can't really think of one. In a way he's a bit of a throw back. Modern fullbacks tend to be defensive specialists or attacking specialists. The box to box fullbacks have been phased out as back threes and less square tactical shapes (inspired by Pep and the like) have come to prominence. Mourinho loves a good angular formation though and Cirkin will appeal to him.

Ken(ny) Sansom?
Why do you have to mention Kenny Sansom in this site as a good left-back. Kidding

He most reminds me of Ogilvie when he was in the academy. Ogilvie could also take a freekick

That’s a name we’ll continue to hear frequently... Baller.

Dermi Lusala is supposed to be quite highly rated at the club.

I know that Kenny Sansom was a very good left back when playing for England but not that you know what, I know you will agree with me.

His 3rd was brilliant. Cut in to shoot on his left, faked about 3 players and finished on his weaker right foot.
Glad the preseason has started brightly for him, won't be surprised to see him in their starting line up next year. He'll make them a lot of money very soon

No. Noone ready to be playing first team football.
As the person above mentioned Lusala but I don't see him atm as someone who I think he should be playing first team in a few years. He is good though, but you have to have proper ability to play first team, I don't think I've quite seen that enough, but again I didn't watch as many games last year as I usually do. Hopefully he shows it more next season. KWP, Hinds and Smith are the only RBs that I've seen and thought are good enough to play for us

Not really. He's been very defensive for the last three or four seasons, basically playing the Ben Davies role.
