I always like Papac for his defending, composure and defensive qualities. Prefer Barasic now though, fantastic crosser of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember him doing a lot of deadball stuff it was mostly Albertz. the players today are even more professional than they were back then.

Not doubting Numans quality but I never seen him play live. Think the first left back I saw live was Michael Ball, Vignal, Ian Murray then Papac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,109 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Numan is arguably our best ever left back, him or Davie Robertson for me, yes Borna has been brilliant but only for a short spell he's got a way to go yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueteeth 2,185 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Its usually very difficult to find a good left back. They can be few and far between obviously because there are less left footers than right. It’s also difficult to find a fullback that can attack as well as defend. Numan was an amazing player, quite a modern player for that time, very mobile and direct. Very very fit as well. Papac was not in his league but a very good player. I think papac got more attention back then because he was le guen ‘s only success. Not taking away from his abilities. I would prefer Barasic over Papac now. If he keeps improving the sky’s the limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It’s hard for us as a support given the intense pressure to win but it’s a clear example that players, particularly foreign ones, need at least 12 months to settle and adapt up here. Football is played at a crazy speed up here and takes a while to adapt. certainly reaping the rewards now and he’s probably valued about the same as Morelos now.

pcbear 10,913 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We have sort of all of a sudden got a team pretty much jam packed with quality and value, half a dozen could fetch big millions imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think looking at the evidence barasic is a more modern left back the way Numan was. Papac wasn’t as attack minded as either more of a defender LB.
