I noticed Coetzee is a 2 footed central defender. He's hitting very accurate cross field passed with both feet in the highlights on youtube. Looks a decent defender as well.

Mate i could look decent on youtube, but trust the gaffer on this one, hadnt heard of the bhoy until we were linked with him, hadnt heard of VVD either so every cloud.

Youtube can't make anyone just "look decent" at hitting cross field passes with both feet. You don't need to tell me to trust the gaffer either, I think he looks like a bargain for the price being quoted.

is his height not more of an issue. 5ft 10 I believe. (before puyol gets mentioned he was an exception ) .

He's hitting a cross field pass like Ntcham does and he's a centre back. The boy won the South African Leauges player of the year as a centre back. In this day and age that is very hard to do. He's obviously a very talented player and it's nice to see Ajax Cape Town fans happy to see his move. Even his own club are ecstatic that he is signing for a club like Celtic. They know just Aswell what a huge opportunity this is for him to play for such a great club.

Cannervaro, Mascherano, Danny Blind.

Height didn't stop Danny Devito ruling Gotham ;)

What height was/ is John Clark? Played alongside Billy McNeil no probs.
22 Aug 2017 11:23:05
If he's 2 footed as been said that would be a great asset the height thing doesn't concern me too much as jozo and boyata are monsters.

But the bigger guy got the better of him Stan.

Gbhoy all 3 play or played in teams full of world class players. blind and cannavarro where also world class . did mascherano play centre back before going to barca? . i know his height doesn't make coetzee a bad player . isn't Shevvys height one of the reasons people want him gone? .

Watched the youtube footage and anno its not always accurate but from what a saw he reminds a wee bit of virgil meaning his ability on the ball and reading the game hope he's half as good.

Cannavaro puyol baresi and beckenbauer all under 6 foot.
22 Aug 2017 12:17:02
They want shevy gone because of pace DRB.
22 Aug 2017 12:41:23
Wasn't beckanbaur 6ft kev? . the players mentioned are all among the elite of all time not just as centre backs . and they all (puyol slightly different) weren't the out and out defender types the played in another time as the sweeper/ libero role . One of my faves from that earlier era was pat stanton who wasn't the tallest . could the boy being two footed be coming in as utility type as cover for Tierney? . im not against the boy as I haven't seen him. but with jozos age and young ajer breaking through I'd have liked an experienced guy . but time will tell and heres hoping.

He was 5 foot 11.26 inches.
22 Aug 2017 15:44:38
Kev That 1.26.inch makes a big difference to most men .
22 Aug 2017 16:15:40
So my missus tells me DRB.
