PLAYER WATCH: DeAndre Yedlin

[jurgen]

Him in and Naughton out would be bonza business

I really see him as a CB long term.

wat?

He is a midget (no disrespect to midgets). Not sure I would ever see him as a CB

Actually, he is certainly a potential starter for a Champions League club.

Calm down mate. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I know your penis is currently exploding but try to hold back.

To be fair to @yankspurs , he had been going on about him for weeks.

I'm surprised Twellman didn't include his disappointment of Yedlin going not going to a "big side like Arsenal" per his awful commentary throughout the Toronto friendly.

 

[SpursSince1980]

As someone who lives in Seattle and watches the Sounders regularly, I can vouch for the kid's potential. But not sure what he would gain by sitting behind Walker. He isn't flexible in the slightest -- meaning, he can't move to left back to cover if needed. Yep, he's a fast dude with pretty decent crossing ability. His positional sense is still a work in progress... much like Walker early in his career, relies on pace to bail him out of missteps. Still prone to mistakes, but think that working with a coach like Pooch will see him excel in a very formidable player.

I imagine a day when Walker gets tired, Yedlin comes in, and the opposing left side goes "f*ck".

Former USMNT player (currently an analyst for ESPN, Ian Darke's partner), retired early due to concussions.

Thanks. I like this link, coming in in January might be a nice bonus for us after a busy Xmas period.

This boy is grease lightening a proper greyhound

Nothing but a marketing purchase if it happens.

Take it you haven't seen him play then?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Yedlin, apparently has a latvian passport (or can get one easily)

His mom is apparently Latvian - its about a 30-day process to get a passport.

50 posts in 20 minutes. WOW.

 

[yankspurs]

What is also interesting about Yedlin, he could play winger also.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

50 posts in 20 minutes. WOW.

This is just a distraction while Levy sorts the Schneiderlin and Musacchio messes.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Would make sense seeing Naughton is likely to be sold and if we're unsure if Fredericks will develop.

Must be his hair making him look taller lol.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Be a waste of his career to warm our bench for large chunks of the season

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Must be his hair making him look taller lol.

Wiki lists him at 1.73 m, with hair he is easily 2 m.

 

[TheUltimateHotspur]

If Pocho wants him then I'm fine with this.

Coming from the guy that just said he sees Yedlin's future as a CB
