Yeah, I mean... you can criticise him for some mistakes here and there... but he can also be pretty good. He contributes at times going forward and defensively. He's a Brazilian international!! Maybe there are better WBs out there, but how many and how easy to sign? I think we're in a decent position at RWB and all 3 have the potential to improve and compete with one another for the position. It could be that we're pretty good there before long and all the papers stop with the RWB rumours and the converting wingers to RWBs rumours etc... It seems like all the rumours this summer have been about RWBs!!

Well, we have two better in our squad only.
I guess that is kind of an answer.

In our system it is not sustainable to keep playing a wingback whose decisionmaking and delivery are really poor...

I think Conte wants bigger players. Clearly the kid has a lot of ability.

Conte does seem to have a preference for big, physical teams but he's used a lot of more diminuitive/lighter players before, but they have to provide something tangible & have a clear role. Not sure Gil does that, whereas at least James would be a late 'wildcard' option (ala Adama) who you just chuck in to stretch teams with pace.

Adama yes but I just don't see it with James at all.

He doesn't have that fear factor and it's not like he beats players for fun like Adama.

I agree tbh. Adama is a way better choice for a last throw of the dice.

James is very, very quick though. I guess if you want somebody who can run extremely fast in the squad you at least have that option .. but I have no idea how Conte would actually use him as he's an incredibly limited footballer.
 
I have no explanation for it but I can cope with James a bit better as a replacement for Lucas. Can’t imagine this would occur unless Lucas himself wanted to seek more playing time elsewhere.
