SinghyEFC4Life Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Here is a screenshot of him in 2009 and want to know is he worth 10.8M. Thinking of signing him for my Man U team as cover/long term replacement for Ferdinand. I can get Garay for 12.75 (minimum fee release) should i pay the extra 2M for Garay or stick with Nordtveit?

Goofus Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 depends. Nordveit is one for the future. But Garay is a defender that does not defend. I would say pay for Garay, wait for his price to shoot up, sell Garay, buy Nordveit in the future(in fact, he comes on a Bosman around 11/12 season.

Shiny223 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Stick with Nordtveit. He is already immense there, and he gets better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabastyle2007 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 For me it would have to be Nordtveit. Garay is lacking slightly in the places which differenciates the world-class from the good. Don't get me wrong, Garay is good, but when you look at key defensive stats such as tackling(14), you'll know what I mean. Nordtveit, on the other hand, is the complete centre back. Not only is he world-class as he is at the moment, he will still improve. In one of my games, he had stats which were slightly better than the ones that you currently have with him at the moment. Other defenders who will be worth a look are Sakho and, if you want to replace an Englishman with an Englishman, Steven Taylor. I'm not sure if you can get the latter for 10.8mill, but if you can, then great! Also, what about Pique. If you have him, he is well worth giving a chance. To conclude what I was saying, the order in which I would rank each potential target is like this: 1. Nordtveit 2. Sakho(In a few season's, is just as good as Nordveit) 3. Taylor 4. Garay Mind you, if you have Pique, then in my opinion, you already have Ferdinand's replacement. However, I still recommend you sign Nordtveit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherica- Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 A fully developed Nordtveit is incredibly good. Garay stats never improve much from what he had already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purefun Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nordtveit for me mate. As mentioned Garay lacks a little in the stats that mean most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazza Pee Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nordtveit is, in one word, godly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piddy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nordveit is one of the best centre backs in the game. Garay is much better re-trained as a dm or something, he just doesn't have the stats for a good centre back, you can probably find someone better anyway.

theincrediblehulk Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 If you said Nordtveit and Fazio, then maybe you'd us something to think about. Up against Garay, Nordtveit wins easily even if he doesnt reach his full potential! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopsy101 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 nordtveit mate but, considering you are manchester united, i think you should buy the best and although nordtveit is amazing, there are better. not many, but there are. buy fazio and sakho and you will be fine. the reason i think these guys are better is because nordtveit is slow and i have never seen his pace reach past 11 whereas sakhos can go up to 15. forgot fazio's pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinghyEFC4Life Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 can't sign Fazio he chose Inter over me (even though Man U are the most popular team (Reputation of 9925) so i signed Nordtveit and he scored on his debut (13-1 win over Preston) and his pace has gone up to 13.

kopsy101 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 if his pace is 13 then definetely go for him. top signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
killface Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nordtveit from me too, also see how Bellaid's doing because he's usually cheap and should have amazing stats by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo hustler Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Garay is overrated. When he's with Barcelona, he'll be worth getting him since his stats will go up (just 'cause he plays for them). He's back on loan (from Barca) at Racing I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandycoleuk Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Another key attribute I look in a defender is concentration. Garay clearly does'nt have it while Nordtveit can and will improve a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabastyle2007 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 reo hustler. If I remember correctly, Barcelona hesitated too much during the deal, allowing Madrid to snatch Garay under their noses. The same thing happened with Sergio Ramos afew seasons ago, and now he is one of the best right-backs in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
