RB is looking pretty thin , If I was a betting man I would say Aurier is still the number 1 RB next season.
If Fulham got off to a bad start Parker could get sacked, he is not going to make a big gamble on a teenager to help us with player development.
Levy sold it on to some lab in Wuhan...not sure what happened after that...something something..something Pangolin.
But he's a left back.
I'd just as soon go for one of the Atalanta RB's (one has one year left on contract the other 2 years) or even the Sheffield United RB to replace the error strewn Aurier. Wished that Poch had bought Pereira rather than Aurier at the time.
I’m just basing my view on a few clips I have seen online, it’s how this scouting new players stuff works isn’t it? :mourlmao:
Anyone that thinks Jose would just slot a player like Coutinho in instead of the likes of Winks or Sissoko is dreaming.
I don’t think Tanganga plays much at CB next season so I see Jose using him as 2nd RB to ease him in to PL football.
I think the idea is that Lo Celso slots in alongside Hojbjerg and Coutinho plays the 10 position.
Maybe, I think he is better suited as a CB though, let’s see what he can do with Ledley coaching him
I like him but his positioning is extremely rash at the moment. He tries to win every ball off the striker and overcommits. I think Wolves at home was the last time he played CB and he was all over the place. RB is a good way to learn because you have to make less decisions.
I dont think that matters providing Tanganga is given training to play RB as well as CB. RB is seen as an easier place to blood youngsters than CB.
Key thing is to ensure he gets enough playing time to develop.
He's had about 10 starts in his first season, more than some get, playing across the defence as RB, LB and CB, so if he can get say 20+ appearances this season he can feel part of the first team and be much more confident the following season as say 3rd CB (he can play RCB and LCB equally well - or did so in youth).
From what JM is saying Cirkin (and White) will be in first team squad next season so they will be LB back up (maybe with Sessegnon ?)
If we continue playing 442 or even 433 there is no #10/CAM..... Just ask Dele.
If were to get Hojbjerg and Coutinho that would probably change. My feeling is we need another creative player, and we desperately need a set piece expert. If I have to watch Kane blasting balls into defensive walls for another season I’ll do my nut in! Lol.
What about playing
——————Kane—————
Son————GLC———-Couthino
——Hojbjerg——Ndombele ——
Davies——Toby—-Sanchez —New RB
——————Hugo———————
Part of the problem is that we are a relatively poor club. We need to sell players to generate the cash for new faces. Signing players on loan is like renting a house; it's dead money.
A loan with the option to buy for players seems like a smart move going forward , if we end up with a dud we aren’t stuck with them earning a wage and not playing while Levy tries to flog them , if on the other hand they are decent we can make the move permanent
Harry spent half a season there and helped them survive relegation.
Love Poch to bit but he got it absolute wrong by not loaning our youth players to gain real experience and build their mental fortitude.
Those loans are what helped make Harry what he is today, look how much KWP and Onomah have improved over the last 6 month/year.
