A montage on YouTube suggests he is a bit lumbering and will almost certainly collect yellow cards however Seville’s record is excellent so he deserves credit for being an integral part of that team, which suggest the mistakes cannot be that frequent.

I’m not convinced he is an upgrade but he’ll certainly be pushing Mings/Konsa all the way for a first team spot, so all three of them will need to be at the top of their game.

I think Newcastle have done well to get Botman.

When were those comments made as well? Vickers usually makes those comments on what he sees in South America, which would have been years ago in this case.

Hey LBs
Hope you're having good summer!
Well Vickers made claim that Aston Villa’s new signing, Diego Carlos, is ‘Terry Butcher in reverse Sky Sports News (19/06/22)

Did his partner at the back who Chelsea are keen on, make Carlos look good? As long as he doesn't pass like Cuellar, I'll be happy.

We finished 14th in the PL last season and did nothing in the cups. Not sure we should be turning our nose up at a player that has played 40 odd games for Sevilla each of the last 3 seasons, finishing 4th each year, only behind 3 teams that usually get to the latter stages of the CL. They also won the Europa League with him in the team and got to the Copa Del Ray semis. He's clearly a good player, the only question is the same one you'd have for any purchase from overseas as to whether he can adapt to the PL.We'll find out over time, but surely we've got to be enthusiastic about this one?

He really does seem to have gone from great signing to donkey without kicking a ball.

Thats impressive even by our-standard. 

We normally at least give them pre-season before we write them off.

Some absolute nonsense going in here.

Sevilla lets up 30 goals in a 38 game domestic season, wins a Europa League and qualifies for Champions League. We go on to pip their CB who has played 40+ matches every season going back 6 years.. and we're looking at it as if we've been conned?! Their fans were fuming that he left.

Take a break lads.

I think he might have taken one or two of the piss taking comments as genuine.
