Ultimately you want to get to a point where every player in your squad is of the required level.
To be honest mate I think he’s our right back cover. I think Mickey will cover left back if needed at least till January. Having Spence there to cover both sides especially the right but can help out on the left if really needed.
Apologies, just re-read that and see you mean his overall time at Genoa (?)
The club might think they already have a better version in Gray.
No, he can't help on the left.
Really baffles me the fans that want to cling onto players like this with cliches like "loyalty" and "reliability" thrown out.
I’d prefer to see him on the right too mate. He’s got everything you want in an inverted full back. He’s a beast of an athlete and csn eat up the ground with and without the ball.
Gray is an 8.
He’s got such a natural understanding of the game and defensive awareness. Press resistant too. Can ping passes of all distances.
Wharton has been a little overhyped imo. He’s comfortable on the ball but he’s a little one paced and off the ball he’s pretty immobile. He’s not worth what Palace would want for him.
We need what Ange thinks we need, not what will get the fans excited. If Ange has identified such a need, I'm sure the recruiting team is on it. For all we know Odobert might be the one. Or maybe we're still looking. No one knows. So let's just see how the rest of the window unfolds and how the team plays in the first few matches and we can make some better assessments after that.
