MapleVilla Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 It was his first full season with us pretty much. He had his injuries too and did make a few howlers. BUT he had Haaland in his pocket and when he's firing he's as good at the back as we have. Champions league experience as well. It would be a shame to sell him, but I'm sure if we do Monchi and co have a plan for the replacement and the idea going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 One thing I really do love about him is how hard he drills the ball when passing. He has superb posture as he takes a few touches to have a look at options and then just launches it like a bullet. I know it's only a small part of the game but it's so pleasing on the eye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I'm really not sold on Carlos. The best CBs are a mixture of physicality and skill. But skill is the more important one as it involves reading the game, playing sensible balls and being that calming influence at the back. Carlos tips far too much in to the physicality area, he just pushes everyone out the way and feels like he's always one too physical a challenge away from conceding a penalty or getting sent off. Even against CCrew, he probably shoulder barged more players than he played the ball with his feet. There maybe a time and a place for that, like trying to see out a game as an extra defender, but I'd worry if he was a starting player for us.

ender4 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I think we’ll keep him this summer and then look to sell him next summer when he has 1 year left on his contract. Unless of course someone is offering good money and we can get an upgrade on him without spending too much extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatecrasha Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 What is clear and obvious is that with the Mings return unknown. Our only 2 class CBs are Torres and Konsa. However, Torres will not go the whole season without injury and Konsa has and will also be used at RB . Therefore leaving Carlos who doesn't inspire confidence and the drop off in quality is significant Our most important position to upgrade is CB. I do really hope we go and get a class CB.

The Fun Factory Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 He has his moments like Arsenal when he was in beast mode. But he also is prone to making some mistakes as well. I would certainly have him below Konsa and Torres and possible Mings if/when he gets back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the lack of a definitive date for Mings or lack of any games where he has regained match fitness, means Carlos is currently quite valuable. For his limitations, he has experience of playing in Unai's system, playing with Pau/Ezri (kenneth.gif) and knows the league / club. Unless finances are tight, I'd bring in an additional CB to add to the RCB options, not to replace Carlos. We can then sell next year if required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original account speculating about his return to Seville is quebotenervion75 and then he starts engaging. I get the impression that he doesn’t always run his own social media though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 You lot, seriously! He said Impossible? about a return to Seville. He's having fun with the Seville fans, never say never. He has 2 years left on his contract he could possible go there or anywhere in the future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I'm torn about him leaving. I really think we can do better, especially in the league but he's very useful against the stronger sides when he actually manages to stay concentrated for 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
