Played against England under 19s this week safe to say hes not one who needs to bulk up
Saidy Janko signs
- Thread starter Inigo Montoya
- Start date
Any reports as to how he played?
Started on the wing but moved to right back after 10 minutes due to a injury-forced Swiss sub. All I know.
Fat bastard.

His shirt looks too big for him
He definitely needs to bulk up on his upperbody, looks really skinny.His shit looks too big for him
Maybe he'd had a big bowl of Bran Flakes that day?
His left leg looks massive.
According to uniteds official twitter Janko could be involved for the first time in the uefa youth league match on wednesday
Who's number 14 at England? Has someone told him the 80s are over and shorts tend to be a bit longer these days?
Not quite up to 80s standards. They were nothing more than glorified Y-Fronts
Powerful guy, looks decent on the ball too
And quick.
"Janko Unchained"
had a great game against Everton u18's:
I know it's just the U18, but that's a great compilation. He's a beast - too strong for such a young lad, and he's lightening quick. Dare I say he looks like an interesting prospect? Looks to have good dribbling too.
Being that strong physically is a huge* advantage at that level. Performances in the reserves would be a better indicator..
That said, being strong and quick is always good.

I'm always a bit sceptical when it comes to younger player with that kind of physic. As it's such a huge advantage at that age, they almost always tend to struggle as the level increases.
Depends, if one of the reasons they stick out is their strength; obviously being around stronger players (When older) will decrease what he has over others, alternatively, if he is rather strong/large, but stands out for speed/ quick feet, then I don't think we can expect him to find the transition harder.
That's actually true. I could mention numerous players who developed early and struggled later on as players caught up with them. However, his speed is still spectacular and he is probably very strong on all accounts. It's not a disadvantage, and he also looks technically quite good.
I know what you mean. I always try to eliminate physique from the equation when I watch young players and focus on ability and understanding of the game. The Everton match was really the first time I saw a good footballer and not just an athlete in Janko, hopefully his performances will improve further as he continues to settle.
The next Bebe? I'm excited
How tall is he?
Around 6 foot I would say. Not massively tall.
That's pretty tall for a full-back. Looks an interesting prospect to me.
Reminds me of an in-form Valencia even though he uses his left-foot a couple of times in that video. Having said that I also agree with what Patreik said
Its pretty tall compared to me! (5'9)
He doesn't look as tall as 6 feet. More like 5' 9" or 5' 10".
Yep. No way he's 6 foot.
A few more inches and he could play CB
He's 6 foot, how is that small for a centreback?
I'd check the milkman.
I'm sure he will grow
The average cb is at least a couple of inches bigger.
