Player Djed Spence

Hasn't he dropped a hint today on his Instagram he wants out. Something has gone on
He just signed a contract extension so I’d assume not.
He posted but no hint
Either play him or sell him. Stop pissing the bloke about. He's fit now, Porro looks knackered as does Udogie, if fit start him against Man City.
Spence has been treated appallingly by THFC. He showed enough pre season to be given opportunities in the team. If Werner deserves game time how is it that Spence is undeserving?
This has to be club politics in my opinion.
What can Spence have done that is so terrible?
We've had Bissouma on laughing gas and Bentancur auditioning for Reform UK.
He has, just back from a groin injury I believe.
Ange says it's always in players hands if they play. However Grey has been chosen over Spence on almost every occasion this season despite Spence clearly the better fullback. His injury didn't help though.
Gray has only been started over Djed once this season against Coventry. All the other times Djed has been either injured or not registered.
Don't think I will ever understand him not making the squad for Europe. One to think wow wtf went on there when U look back on it
I don't think Ange particularly rates him. He has given him one meaningful appearance which was against Coventry. I think the contract extension was just to preserve value, just a bookkeeping exercise.
Maybe he's just been unlucky with injuries but I really wouldn't expect to see much of him this season.

Ange is an idiot- can't even apparently see the value of rotating Spence in for Porro every so often.
We'll play our 40m 6 as a RB and use our recently extended RB to play LB! Then we'll have our junior RCB play at LCB, and all our "world class" players can stay comfortable in their natural positions.
Does this sound like a good strategy at all? No
He has been injured... when did you want that to happen?
When he's been fit, he's been played mostly (all?) at LB.
That's stupid. Porro is not a great defender. Djed is a physical specimen.
Porro may not be a great defender but he’s a good one and certainly better than our left back defensively
Udogie is a better natural defender than Porro- Ange just has him playing idiotic tactics.
Anyways I don't agree with your general point. I don't think Porro is even a "good" defender. He's very average, and if his offensive skills weren't so good, he'd look an awful lot like Reguilon.
Really- you don't think Spence could have improved on either Udogie or Spence this past weekend vs Ipswich Town?
He wasn't even deserving of late sub minutes in the wake of their very poor performances?
