Agreed. people who are being spooked by the compilation of GIFs are the fans who interpret all football as a compendium of conspicuous individual errors and never observe the minute-by-minute team interplay that makes up an actual football match. They tend to be the same people who worked themselves into a lather about Dawson and Gomes.

Whoa whoa whoa Leslie. Let's not start generalising.

I don't think anyone here is genuinely spooked. Just a bit of fun going on.

My initial impressions are that the man is a thug - probably underboss in the Simeone crime family... But who knows? Maybe that's just what our porous defense needs.

Who needs Luka Modric, when we have our own Luca Brasi?

Really? I found it to be quite informative. It put forward both pros and cons and used some cases or stats as evidence to back up each one.

I thought this was better than a YouTube clip glueing together a player's best bits (as done by "Scout Nation" etc) which is far less informative.

You could put together something like this for any player. And they have for Fazio, who's signing for us and with little else to go by I think gives us some basis upon which to understand what sort of a player he is.

Obviously we hope he does not have the concentration levels of Titus Bramble.
You could pick out a series of GIFs to support virtually any pro or con for any player. I have no reason to trust the bloggers analysis of fazio, therefore it's almost even worse than a YouTube compilation !

He's not our only centrback. I think he will be paired with Verts. Any shortcomings, they will cancel out each other

A argentine, a englishmen, a frenchmen and a belgian walk into a pub....let's hope our backline isn't as bad a joke this season.

I have had several Argies not one of them let me down.

Argentina is the most football mad nation on earth.

Poch is Arge too of course so he will know all about these guys.

Except that no-one else has done it. Because there are no 'series of GIFs' or YouTube videos (apart from his Diego Costa spat) for Fazio. And that's the point. With almost no other info about him publicly available, the blogger makes a reasonable case of his pros and cons. It wasn't useful for you, but I've not seen anything better.

I see what you're saying. That reasoning for it being useful doesn't work for me, but understand your point.

At least now we'll get to make up our own minds about him! Wonder if he'll be on the bench tonight... prob too soon.
