Zatman Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I like him as well, no coinicdence we looked better since he joined, while not a DM he has added a bit of steel and balance into midfield with a little skill Edited July 16, 2013 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 He's the one who's stood out in pre-season for me so far. Looks an absolute bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Fast becoming my favourite player alomg with Lowton Has something happened that I don't know about since his 59 minute run out against Wigan? He's proven himself to be a very useful player - maybe you should stop worshipping at your handmade shrine to Bannan and take notice of our better midfielders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think what Con was wondering was what has happened since the end of the season to enhance Sylla's reputation further in the eyes of some. He just chose a less than diplomatic way of asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think Con didnt rate him near end of season preferring the Scottish Roy Keane/Iniesta/Lothar Matthaus combined instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 To answer the question and stop a bit of CON bashing. He skinned about four players whilst under pressure against German 1st division opposition. Carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He's the one who's stood out in pre-season for me so far. Looks an absolute bargain. Have you seen much of pre-season? Just asking... Have to be a bit careful though, El Ahmadi looked like a world beater in pre-season last year. Sylla has a role to play though this year for sure. I expect him to start the season alongside Westwood and Delph in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) He's been really solid. Read this as he's already been sold, and got a bit annoyed, then just accepted it as he's a good player and thought he'd eventually get poached anyway, before realising what you actually put Edited July 17, 2013 by MessiWillSignForVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way you improve squads. Be interesting to see who Lambert would go with but if it's Delph, it's a near certainty he'll be injured or suspended soon enough so Sylla will still get games.

I'd like us to sign an attacking mid too, but given the fixture list I still think we'll start with the same three that ended last season so strongly. If we were starting at home to Palace it would be a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to start the season alongside Westwood and Delph in the centre. Well, not just pre season but he also got better and better towards the end of last season. When I first saw his bit parts when he was first bought I thought he couldn't trap a bag of wet cement, Just a workhorse. but he appears to have a bit of everything, can even dribble his way out of trouble, great engine, positioning, discipline. This is the kid I'm keeping my eye on this year..... So he'll be sold by Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually quite incredible for him to make such a step up at a young age, out of completely no where. He must be on cloud 9 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I really like him too, I think he's going to be a fine player. He's still incredibly raw but he has all the necessary tools to be a complete midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
