Samuel Umtiti

[Zidane82]

i cant believe folks are ready to bin what we have ( a world class defender) who is only returning from injury, for the possiblility of De Ligt who we dont have.
prior to de ligts rumours, the idea of umtiti leaving would have us laughing till we pass out, that shouldnt change now.

He’s ‘returned’ from an injury that the medics reckoned needed surgery .. as I understand it he refused to have the recommended surgical procedure so does anyone know what treatment HE decided on ( if any ) ?

Ahhh the ones that move around in the background apparently doing nothing??

Rakitic will make a tremendous referee then ...

Referee running in the background doing nothing? That's their job until something that needs refereeing happens.
My point was that if the only thing you remember from Umtiti is his handball from the whole WC, then he must been amazing during the whole World Cup. Centre-backs aren't supposed to do anything extravagant.

Really ... In recent times I can recall Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk making quite a few last ditch , goal saving tackles plus an endless stream of headed clearances.... by your rule he’s a poor defender..

Incidentally one of the British pundits described Umtiti’s defending for ‘that’ handball as “ woefully inept “ ..

Well liverpool games are way more recent than WC, and as Maldini said "if you have to make a tackle you've already made a mistake".

Wow! Umtiti looks super skinny in the latest IG picture. Maybe he lost some weight because the knee problems?

i dont know what it is but having a black guy in defence gives a feel of insurance. like having abidal, or a alves
we need a bit of black back there

Quality post. I agree completely.

Samuel Umtiti has not been able to train with the team today because the pain in his knee has returned. [tv3]



Sell to Juve so he can play with his idol Ronaldo

 

[Andresito]

AS saying his season might be over..

 

[El Barcelona]

Lol at everybody who says that selling umtiti is overreacting and stupid. Sell before it's to late, if it's not already to late........

I guess he is done. Shit.

 

[MTL_Barca]

Thats really frustrating, i guess avoiding the surgery wasn't worth it after all

He ignored the advice to go under the knife, surely this means he has surgery - 7 to 9 months recovery. Meaning we may not see him suit up for Barcelona until Jan/Feb 2020. De Ligt to mitigate
