Nordi Mukiele

[Keith S30S]

Wouldn't get in the mags team...

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Wouldn't get in the mags team...

He can't be too far from getting a recall to the France squad, surely

 

[Gentwo]

Wont be playing for us next season unfortunately. Getting sold for a tidy profit.

Another ‘glass empty’ one

 

[Steve F]

I am 64 and for me the lad is the best defender I have ever watched play for us.

 

[The Great Soprendo]

I know it's only half a season but there are several of our current defenders and midfielders who already are contenders (or potential ones) for SAFC 'best XI' IMO, and this lad is definitely one of them. Immense.

 

[Madcap11]

£11m

Leverkusen, what the hell they were thinking. He's class

 

[Tom]

France RBs are in this order : Kounde, Gusto, Pavard, Clauss. I think Mukiele is better than all of them bar Kounde but since there is only one international break before the WC, I would be a bit surprised if he's called by Deschamps.

For the CB position his competition is Saliba, Upamecano, Konate, L. Hernandez, also Pavard, Badé, W. Fofana, Kalulu, Lukeba...

Aye but can any of them play both positions as well as Nordi?

Wouldn't get in the mags team...

I’d take our whole defence & the keeper over the mags.

 

[mackinbristol]

I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen a better defender play for us in my lifetime.
Baring in mind I’m only 35.


Genuinely how the fuck did we manage to sign him

At least in part you can thank Xhaka for his transfer.

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

Leverkusen, what the hell they were thinking. He's class

He came from PSG. He was on loan to Leverkusan

 

[Kev75]

I mean he's great but he's no Donald Love.

 

[The Beautiful Game]

This has been my point when talking about dropping Hume. It’s not that I think Hume is shit, it’s just mukiele and geertruida are different gravy. Elite level players.

Every defender we signed this summer is at the top of the list in the premier league era. In any order, the best footballers we’ve had in defence during this period are reinildo, alderete, mukiele and geertruida.

 

[Select coaches]

Sure I read the only reason he wasn’t at a top club was that he was very injury prone, or have I made that up?

Never looked like that for us I have to say.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Another superb classy performance from Nordi. Oozes quality. His positioning, tackling, vision, passing - everything really. Truly one of the best we've ever had.

 

[herra soul mob]

Leverkusen, what the hell they were thinking. He's class

they weren't.

Logon or register to see this image

OP obviously forgetting this lad

He wasn't a terrible player, got International caps, played in a world cup etc, and did a job for us, but that photo is all I see when I think of him and its so bad it's funny.

 

[ivanthereasonable]

Proper double hard b*stard to boot

I've heard he doesn't bother with doors. He just walks through walls. May just be a roumer though.

A bit skilful anarl when you see his part in the buildup to the goal leaving Spence chasing shadows with this drag back and fizzing the ball into Brobbey

It was a class goal mind. Something i hadn't noticed as it happened.

 

[Mackem Al]

GX gave him no option.

Yes, i remember the interview when he signed he said "When Granit speaks, you listen with both ears".

I love that quote.

 

[Starman]

Got some very valuable players on our books at present

 

[Jasper]

Modern day Darren Williams (slightly erring towards world class tho)

Exactly who comes to mind when I'm watching Mukiele play like

 

[Cox Green Fc]

This guy is an absolute beast where’s he been all his career I genuinely mean it when I say he could play/start for any top team in Europe and do well , how have we signed him for 11m
