Unfortunately that’s looks like it’s true. But we have more pressing areas to upgrade so hopefully Reguilon can step up when Sessegnon isn’t available.
The wing back positions are so important in Contes’ system so if they don’t shape up he will actively look to replace them. The ball is in their court
play Gil as left wing back
He needs competition. That’s all. He’s getting comfortable given his place is more or less secure
He is much better than Sessegnon
That’s my concern, I wonder if we’ll ever get to see enough of Sess to make a proper judgment. But I don’t rate Reg at all, he still looks like a youth team player in his mid 20s
I thought Sessegnon was going to be mustard. Others said not and by a country mile have been proved correct thus far.
Reguillon is nothing special so what we have at present are 2 less than ideal options, one of whom gets injured too much and simply might not even have the capability.
If Conte stays for 3 years, which given his average stays is unlikely there is little chance both if either player will be at the club.
It would just be nice and using these 2 as an example, to get players who are better than what you thought.
Yeah, play a physically weak player there who can't defend and has never on record played the position before.
Great idea there Champ!
I thought Reguilon currently is still slightly better than 14-15 version of Rose. I still remember how both Rose and Walker were not so reliable in Poch first season.
Yeah - Rose was not so great in those days - the improvement under Poch was huge. At least Walker was consistent around that time though - you could be guaranteed he'd give away a cheap/stupid freekick in a dangerous position late on in every single game.
Rose was only the player we fondly remember for a couple of years.... Very bumpy road to the top and was rarely the same after his big injury.
Or his big interview.
That was during his time out with said "big injury".....
Worrying that it looks to me like we may have to replace both wing backs. Not easy positions to fill at all, especially with what Conte demands of them. Although Moses/Marcos Alonso were hardy top quality either.
He escaped a lot of criticism vs Watford because of Emerson’s crossing horror show, but really he was very well shackled by a 34 year old clogger and when he did get opportunities to cross, the delivery was terrible.

we are not replacing Reggie ffs lol.
We are praying our tight arse chairman will find it in his heart to replace positions we actually need let alone target positions we are decently covered.

Maybe not replaced, but Sessegnon really isn’t adequate competition .. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see another wing back come in who can challenge him.
He simply has far too many genuinely poor performances, and in this setup you can’t get away with that as a WB.
