He used him there once I think. Could see him being used there in a pinch when we have another left footer for lcb. I agree with you though, I think we need 5 for the wingback positions not including Davies. I'd keep Emerson, unless somebody offers 25m for him. Solid player, strong, could see him improving a bit. If we sell him and Reg I'd want us to bring in another on top of Spence.

It's not like Doc did poorly, but I could definitely see him being the one sacrificed for squad balance. And unless someone comes in with a very good offer, I don't really see why we would want to move Royal on.
As per my OG post; I'm not denying the guy's key strengths as a player..... I just don't buy the idea that he'd just slot into our plan A without an adaptation period.
They were reportedly scoping him last summer..... It looked like he was going there on loan at one point.
If needed yes, but he's at best our third option there, fourth if Reguilon stays.
Doc is better than Royal in how Conte wants to play with 5 at the back. He can also play LWB and in the midfield if needed in a pinch. Royal is just on the right. I would prefer we keep Royal over Reguilon but I think it would be silly to sale Doc over Royal.
No not at all. He really came into his own towards the end of the season.
Personally think we'd keep Sess, Perisic, Doc, Spence, Royal.
I wouldn't mind him going on loan there, especially if he is going to get game time and develop, else there is not much point. As a defender it will really help him hone in his Defensive skills, also AC Milan are in the CL too, the slower nature of Serie A could be massive in aiding his progression.
I would assume he really wont get much game time with us , could work out well for both, him coming back more complete.

Unless Cesay has vastly improved over the last few months he's not good enough. I rather use Tanganga as RWB.
I’m all for loaning him out to a side in Italy….or anywhere for that matter. I just don’t know how much additional game time he’s gonna get there. Can’t imagine that a team that will once again compete for their league championship giving Tanganga any meaningful league minutes
Keep? We only just got one of them and the other isn't even ours yet.
J/K I know what you meant
Was impressed with him when I saw him play last season but there's no getting away from the fact he was in Peter Beardsley's queue when they were handing out talents!
We keep losing our semis though.Never take reaching a semi for granted.
If Saliba counts as HG for Woolwich now, Pape Sarr surely will also for Spurs right?
Both were signed when 18 years of age so that should, if I'm not mistaken give us an academy trained player in a few years time. Ridiculous how it works if true

Saliba doesn't count as HG for Woolwich and never will. Sarr will never count as HG for us.
They have to have be registered to play at the club for 3 years before the end of the season in which they turn 21. If they are on loan, they aren't registered to play for the parent club, they are registered to play for the club they are on loan at.
With Conte's tactics we will already have 5 players on the pitch that are good defensively (3 x CBs and 2 x CMs), so attacking output is much more important in the WB positions.
If we were to have a 5th choice WB, I would rather someone like Carrasco, who as well as being able to play both WB sides, can also play LW (handy considering we will likely just have 1 player as rotation for both LW and Striker) and RW (better than Lucas IMO).
Atletico apparently are intrerested in Emerson and Lo Celso, so maybe a swap deal could be done.
Never take reaching a semi for granted.
At my age it's an achievement....
Go get the younger Aaronson. Just scored 7 goals to get the golden boot & golden ball in the CONCACAF U20 championship.
