If we need him he will need to settle in again... he is young and an asset. Ok.... he is not in our best three cms... but i would keep him. He has potential. Surely no one is saying we have to get rid of every player who is yet to be a starting regular. ... it's a squad

Merging Cultures Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Amartey has lots of potential. I usually agree with Col but not on this one!
MPH Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 So i know we have all thought it and many said it but what an absolutely wasted year. I cant help wonder what could of been....
Dan Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Can't say I'm disappointed. Something clearly went horribly wrong last year. Something significant changed in the way we were recruiting players. Clearly Shakespeare thinks they don't really fit our team / dressing room / both.
ajthefox Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Shakey didn't really say we are getting rid for definite, just that if the right bids are received that they wouldn't be turned down. I still think Kapustka should be given some game time or at least loaned out and then see where he is after some competitive English football. I think Slim should be kept too, he definitely has goals in him, although I do see that it may be difficult to accommodate him/keep him happy.

He cant really say more than that though or everyone will come in with ridiculously low offers...

No worries..I'm used to people saying they don't agree with me as they are actually agreeing with me. No skin. Regarding Amartey, I can't see where he's gonna play? He's not a RB (which is where we need cover), we have approx one million central midfielders and of course we've just signed Arry at CB. I honestly can't see Shakey starting Amartey with Maguire? I'm pretty sure that's gonna be Huth or Wes. I can only see Amartey playing in the cups maybe? And is he gonna be happy with that? Even if he does have bags of potential??? I can't see how it's going to be fulfilled at City. However, maybe he'll surprise us and Shakey fancies him to start somewhere.

It looks to me like we're trying to build a squad, like the 'big' teams do, and deal with the inevitable consequences of the pecking order.

HighPeakFox Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 Today has been one of the more agreeable on this forum in some time.

He is so off the standard Ndidi sets. He may improve, but it all looks far too alien to him currently. Agree with this. He doesn't look like a natural footballer, more an athlete. This is probably why he plays CB often. I'd personally rather play King than Amartey. Not because he's been here for years, but because he's an intelligent footballer. He reads the game so well with and without possession. When we need someone to step in or come on, he's reliable. Amartey looks dodgy. I'd love to be proved wrong as Amartey seems like a good pro and did well when he needed to 15/16 season.
Foxxed Posted 13 July 2017 Posted 13 July 2017 If we get rid of a player we've only really played for 45 minutes (unless he turns into a sicknote) and our best goals per minute striker we'd be mad. I'd like to give Kap and Musa until Christmas though.

RonnieTodger Posted 14 July 2017 Posted 14 July 2017 I'd be happy to give Slimani another year provided he can keep fit. Ulloa's new contract and the impending signing of Iheanacho throws his future into doubt though.

I think he knows exactly who he wants to keep and who he don't. The question is who will come in for them? Can we give them to the thai government as part of paying down the fine?
