Neverbloom Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 he has had a very good season for us so far Link to comment
Jaggy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Topor Stanley has been rock solid and his understanding with Beauchamp is why we have one of the best defencive records in the league. To the tune of Abba's Super trooper Topor-Stanley, Super Topor-Stanley He is 10 feet tall Hard as a brick wall He will always win the ball. Link to comment
Redhead Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Ha, ha - love it Jaggy. He's also a very pleasant young man to talk to. I met his aunt at the pre-season game at Seven Hills (Lilys Stadium) and she was so proud of him. I agree about how our defenders are all working so well together too. Link to comment
MCHammer Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 He plays his heart out for the club. He is always the saddest if we lose but the happiest if we win Link to comment
theguyyouwishyouwere Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 good ol' mop-head. very impressive so far. Link to comment
Lmc Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm a big fan of this wanderer Link to comment
julyaugustreno Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 named captain for the game against mariners, with beauchamp out. Good on him! Didn't even realise he was the vice captain tbh Link to comment
montywoodpeg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 named captain for the game against mariners, with beauchamp out. Good on him! Didn't even realise he was the vice captain tbh He was named el capitano against the Jets I believe, in the absence of Beauchamp (who was out with illness). I think Popa likes the idea of a CB pillar of strength, boss at the back, kind of captain. Link to comment
stewballs Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We need to be carefull with Topor Stanley!. He is a football mercinary and has played at many many clubs and leave s for a better deal. His management team are tough as show by the fact he was one of only a few to get a two year deal. Tread carefully. Link to comment
MP4Eedz Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Easily my favourite Wanderer !! Suited to Popvics coaching also Link to comment
WSWJuve Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 An absolute colossus at the back. Just wins every header, it's insane. He has really stepped up this season, one of the form CBs in the league at the moment. Link to comment
Lmc Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 He even dominates the forwards in headers inside the box. What a champ! Link to comment
Jarosz213 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This guy is a beast, i love him Link to comment
martinez83GK Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 why do other teams even bother playing long balls in the air against WSW...Every week its the Nikolai Topor-Stanley show, and they never seem to learn that it is pointless. Link to comment
Jarosz213 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I cant remember the last time he didn't win a header Link to comment
Burztur Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 why do other teams even bother playing long balls in the air against WSW...Every week its the Nikolai Topor-Stanley show, and they never seem to learn that it is pointless. I think its because we press them so much that they have to go the long ball route - which is exactly what popa wants and NTS just simply wins the ball. Link to comment
martinez83GK Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 hahah yes Burztur you are right, it is great watching teams try and try again and failing to beat Toppa. Link to comment
WSWJuve Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He reminds me of an Australian/Mauritian/Polish version of my favourite CB Giorgio Chiellini Link to comment
mack Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 He reminds me of an Australian/Mauritian/Polish version of my favourite CB Giorgio Chiellini Signed him in FM once. Quality. Link to comment
WSWJuve Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 One of the best CBs in the world, along with Andrea Barzagli. They are absolute colossus' at the back for Juve. Link to comment
MP4Eedz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He just manages to ALWAYS be there to clean up ... reads the plays beautifully Link to comment
UltrasRBB Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Is there anything this man can't do Link to comment
dmixtaaa Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 NTS the most consistent Wanderer all season, no one deserved that goal more for all the hard work put in week after week. Link to comment
Malone Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Topor Stanley > Vidic and Kompany Link to comment
Redhead Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great goal - he was practically lying flat out when he hit it. Great athlete! Link to comment
martinez83GK Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 He can do it all. Why would you even think to go for a header for a ball that low?? What a legend. Link to comment
Tigers Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 probably because he's better with his head than his feet! if he tried to kick it it might have gone high over the crossbar! great goal. Link to comment
SDIAKRBB Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Statistically the best defender in the league, played an excellent game against wellington. Congrats on the first goal for the Wanderers you big lug! Link to comment
