[Albion] Pervis Estupiñán - SIGNED - 5 YEAR CONTRACT

[Charlie Livesey]

Is he missing his equadorian mates ?

This.. maybe not Ecuadorian mates, maybe the South American players, him, Caicedo, Enciso, Sarmiento and Mac Allister were a tight little groupl last season.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Estupinian is so curious. When he's good, he's brilliant and he is brilliant most of the time. When he is off it, he looks absolutely pub. I guess we should be grateful for that otherwise he'd probably be elsewhere.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

It’s hardly the back end of a gruelling season though is it.

He didn’t get much of a break at the end of last season though.

His last game with Ecuador was on 21st June, he then had a short break and missed the start of pre-season training and joined up with the team in America for the pre season tournament. It could be starting to take a toll on him.

 

[Weststander]

He dovetailed brilliantly with Caicedo. Away at Plucky’s LegoArena in April, they covered for each other intuitively.

A personal view (probably going against RDZ instructions?), when he’s off form during a game, I wish he’d go back to basics and concentrate on defence. A few times this season when we’re playing a slow possession game 70 yards upfield against an ultra chilled low-block, Estupinan’s tits around with Mitoma going nowhere fast. The opposition right side bide their time, then destroy the pair in a counter attack.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking:

Season finishes - player rests for months - player comes back for pre-season - season starts

It just doesn’t work like that anymore, especially for a South American playing in Europe like Pervis. Unfortunately we’re probably seeing the downside of it at the moment, but we had a very good upside of it for last season. Hopefully we’ll see that upside again soon.

Out injured apparently for a length of time…

Oh bugger .... he hasn't looked right recently

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Hopefully same as his other big injury that was reported a month ago.

Unlikely as Mike McGrath is reporting it and is reliable

Lamptey not done too bad there but makes fairly big mistakes at times.

 

[A1X]

Was inevitable when we didn't sign a backup to him over the summer, the most crucial player in the team with no proper backup and now this

 

[Weststander]

Onto Betfair to check our relegation odds.

Certainly check Marseilles odds as we are favourites tomorrow !!

Gutting.
Massive chance for Lamptey who has done brilliantly this season.
Any other cover there?

March.

 

[RandyWanger]

Good job we've got enough natural LBs to cover

 

[Mancgull]

Milner also when over his injury. May explain pervis’s first half performance on Saturday.
Hopefully won’t be too long. Chance for Tariq to shine. He does look like he’s back to something like his pre injury form.
We could also look at Igor as a replacement at LB and put Tariq on the right.

 

[El Turi]

Oh bugger .... he hasn't looked right recently

I wonder if he picked up a knock on international duty as he hasn’t been at his best since he got back.

 

[Sheebo]

He had a big pack held on his hamstring after coming off Sat so no surprise.

 

[dwayne]

March.

Injured as well according to the rumour mill. Explains himbeing absolutely gash recently!!

On the plus side he can sit at home and sleep in the next international break !!!
