Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 I don't get the hate for Amartey - he doesn't set the world alight but he's alright in his various positions, useful to have on the bench as a spare body or a starter in an injury-crisis situation. I think people are mistaking him for Musa, who is thoroughbred dogshit
mozartfox Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Will some one please come in for Rudkin and his 'recruitment' Team. That would solve more than shipping out young players that may one day come good. Look how we are handling this young Hirst situation? Straight out of AS Roma's Transfer strategy manual.
VLC86 Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Best half and half moustache going, its a no from me. If he does go though thanks for Stoke away.

The Floyd Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 He has a lovely smile and all the physical attributes to develop into a solid centre back, I'd keep him but I do think it's a waste of time playing him at RB and CM.
Wymsey Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 35 minutes ago, Gerard said: He is only 22 and has some good physical attributes. He's one of those players that isn't that great now but he might have a bit of a eureka moment in his mid 20's. Agree. He needs to add more 'steel' to his game. Get stuck in, be committed and not hesitant. Sometimes lacks the determination to be a better player, which is probably down to lack of confidence or experience.
Fox92 Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Dunno where he's supposed to play but he's a decent utility player. I don't really rate him, mind.

Perhaps not, but he's versatile and can be helpful in seeing a game out. I'm not saying he's great, I'm saying he's not terrible like some people make out and I wouldn't be eager to sell him unless we bulked the squad out a bit - and it doesn't look like we're genuinely being linked with anyone at the moment.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 plus he is smooth as fvck Keep
filbertway Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Oh my god yes. I long wanted him to be played at center back and be a success but he's clearly not fancied there and seems to have about as much footballing awareness as Schlupp. Sack him off and bring in a proper right back to compete with Danny. Take your pick from basically any Bundesliga team outside the top 3 or 4. Does anybody with a scouting system as good as ours want Benny while we're at it?
filbertway Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 He's not really versatile. Being shoved in different positions as a plug doesn't make you a versatile footballer. James Milner is versatile, he can actually fill a fair few positions to a good standard.
AKCJ Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Literally zero need to sell. What do we gain from selling him? A bit of profit? He's a man that can come of the bench to fill 3 positions relatively comfortably. If Stuttgart wanted to loan him it would be a bit different but we'd still need to replace him.
foxoffderby Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Sell not quite good enough. (but put in a sell on or buy back clause just in case)

Clever Fox Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 I'd keep him, certainly over some others. You have to remember he hasn't come from a background where he played structured Football from a young age. So he's having to play catch up, and seems like a slow learner. With the right Coaching and help, he could be a terrific player as he has all of the other attributes required.
Babylon Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 If if meant bringing in a quality attacking right back as a different option then so be if. If we aren't going to replace him then there is no point.

Who will probably go on to carve out a fine career for himself someone else like all the others that were misused or not given enough time (Keane, Kane, Lingard, Wood, Kramaric... etc). They might not work out here, but there certainly haven't been many that have got something about them.

Buzzell Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 I'd love it if we actually tried him at centre back.

As a body in there he is OK because he is athletic, but he seems to jog everywhere and is always 1/2 second behind the play. As a spare body, OK, but at our level, we should be expecting more than that, we need footballers.
kingfox Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Pray for @Col city fan he's probably that devastated by this rumour he's probably in the middle of smashing his house up and setting it on fire.
