Personally thought he is one of the best all round footballers ive seen in an oldham shirt in the last 20 years.

Simpo Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 He looked awkward having never played there before, but Monthe did a job at left wingback for Northampton when they beat Derby in March, so he's got more in his locker than just a big clogger for sure Cobblers supporters noted he unleashed a howitzer in that game that they didn't usually see, and perhaps he should get forward more...

I don’t agree with that at all……I could understand your comments If you had been talking about Shaun Hobson but in my opinion Monthe has got just about everything you would want from a CB at this level.

As has been pointed out they'll all make mistakes it's how they deal with it that shows their character and I just get the impression Manny will be just fine. Indeed. His rocket equaliser showed character in spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjk2008 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 The Monthster already looks levels above Hobson. Can’t believe we were all raving about Hobson last summer - looks like the shit around him made him look mint. VNL is his ceiling IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monthe has been excellent the 2 home games I've seen but I think both Hobson and Raglan have been very good too. As a back 3 unit they look nice and solid at this level and won't concede too many if they all stay fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 2 good games from him but come on he's not anywhere near Gregan Clarke or Tarkowski as a centre back is he. He is very good for this level I've no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the thing, by all round footballer i mean i could see him play anywhere across the pitch. Although gregan and clarke may be better centre halves i dont think they had the ability too shoot or carry the ball, or put a cross in, which makes him a better all round footballer. Its only an Opinion. One your entitled to disagree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping I can get it on stream or alternatively a local radio commentary. I'm sure someone will be able to advise better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
