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 (?)
Wires crossed, here.
Yeah, from what I saw that was decent.
Didn't see him play on the left there, tho.
And don't want to see it here, after the pre-seaosn game.
Not going to work.
The club might think they already have a better version in Gray.
God knows what it would cost to get him out of Palace.
No, he can't help on the left.
If we had a proper solid defence style, you could risk it.
The way we play it's asking for disaster.
I like adaptability and flexibility, but for spence just coming back, we need to get him in a groove and keep him in his wheel house.
Really baffles me the fans that want to cling onto players like this with cliches like "loyalty" and "reliability" thrown out.
This is elite sport and this guy has been at Spurs for a long time and we've payed him many millions of pounds for the privilege.
We have a style of play that he is no longer suited to at all and so he needs to be moved on.
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.
What if they see Gray doing the Sarr role in the future?
Gray is an 8.
So he says.
I think he'd do a much better job in that position for us than he would as the 6
He’s got such a natural understanding of the game and defensive awareness. Press resistant too. Can ping passes of all distances.
The RB and CB thing is also perfect for him to learn the #6 role.
Honestly. We have more 18-20 year old talent than Love Island. Now I would like us to sign a nailed on starter in midfield.
Barella would be perfect. Sod the wage structure. The other players would understand why he is paid so much.
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.
He’s playing in what looks like a double pivot today and it’s asking him to do more running and defending in transition than he’s good for.
As a sitting DM like Carrick he’s got the tools and temperament
