Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 29, 2019 I would presume he’ll be on his way back to Dortmund soon, but personally I wouldn’t mind seeing him sign as cover at right back (and further forward should needs must). His game time has been completely shut off by the emergence of Aarons and so he’s not really had much chance to shine. But, when I watched him at Bournemouth earlier this season, I thought he was one of the best players on the pitch, he really shone. He struck me as a player that certainly has the quality and style to play in the Premier League should he be needed, or get his foot in the door. I’m sure I will get many disagree, but hey ho, it’s a forum and that’s what it’s all about! Jurgen Klopp was an apparent fan, and he still has plenty of time on his side. Yes or no?

Very much stay, he’s a talent and was a little unlucky to just how quick Aaron’s developed. Should these Spurs rumours be right and they make a daft offer for Aaron’s then he’s the ideal replacement having been here all season and knows the club area and players. Hope we keep him here either on loan or buy him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 29, 2019 Totally agree, Indy. Having just watched the celebrations however, he looks like a player that might already know his fate, he was celebrating with the best of them so maybe it’s a promising sign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,314 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Didn't Mo Leitner sign for us under similar circumstances? Came on loan didn't play much at first then signed and in the squad. Edited April 29, 2019 by wcorkcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could tell from the celebrations that Ivo was delighted for NCFC but at the the same time I couldn’t help but feel he knew this was his final time on the Carrow Rd pitch. And he’s been a great servant for us, and will always have my utmost respect for his happy cheery attitude to all things yellow and green - top man! 👍🏆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted April 29, 2019 Too short at 5`6" to play right back, I think he could possibly play right mid but we have not seen enough of him to judge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted April 29, 2019 If he's good enough he's tall enough. Phil Lahm was one of the best fullbacks in recent history and he was about that height. Can't really see it myself but I suppose it could happen, I didn't see us signing Mo Leitner on a full contract either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,455 Posted April 29, 2019 We've used 3 different right backs over him this season. Surely if he was actually good enough at this level let alone Premier League he'd have made something of an impact? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,354 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Both Pinto and Marshall played very early on in the season though, a lot could have changed since then. Not to mention the league we'll be playing in is very different. It's hard to judge but I would think he was next in line to play right back as he did make more appearances on the bench than Ivo. Passlack has also played in a number of development and cup games which would indicate that. Maybe. Weren't there some ITKs on here saying that we kept him here against Dortmund's will over the second half of last season? If that was true I wonder if they'd even want to sell him to us.

Think it is background noise to Aarons negotiating a new contract with Norwich. I can’t see a ‘big 6’ team moving for Aarons yet. Wan-Bissaka is going to be the right back of choice for clubs at the top of the Premier League. Once he is sold then there might be some who consider Aarons, but he won’t have done enough yet to convince them to part with the huge sum of money that will be needed to get him out of Norwich. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say that Aarons who is 5`10" was excellent at right back and makes up for his slight lack of height by being very adept at levering opposition players away from crosses. He has been targeted on occassions by tall centre forwards pulling away to the back post but has overall coped very well with that tactic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted April 29, 2019 Passlack is supposed to be very highly rated, although haven't really seen enough of him personally to judge. In the games I saw him play, he looked composed and very quick going forward, but a bit lightweight defensively. Certainly don't think he's quite at the level Aaron's has somehow managed to reach this season! With regards to signing him up, he wouldn't be here if Farke didn't see something in him I'm sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted April 29, 2019 Regarding Passlack's defensive ability and his size, it's worth noting that he isn't a natural right back. He was the captain of Germany Under-17s and scored seven goals in 20 caps as a winger, and that's where he played for Dortmund's youth teams, but on arrival in the senior squad they seemed determined to turn him into an attacking right back. He's still only 20 so surely there's a lot more to come from him, regardless of where he ends up- in terms of both club and position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to be corrected, but I was stood near him earlier this season and he looked tiny compared to me - I’m bang on 6’. I think he’s a similar height to Felix, but I could well be wrong. Regardless, I think Max’s strengths have been his positioning, work rate, technical ability with his feet, and reading of the game rather his aerial defensive duties. It’s the central defenders that I always associate with height and regard this as very important to being successful in such a position, the right and left backs not so much.
