FoxSinceBirth Posted 14 December 2017 Share Posted 14 December 2017 I love Simmo as much as the next bloke but with no real competition for a first team spot surely we need to dip into the market, I'm sure Puel has a few in mind but who would you like to see don the blue shirt?

AKCJ Posted 14 December 2017 Share Posted 14 December 2017 Preferably a right sided Ben Chilwell. Someone young and not expecting to play every week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we need someone who will be mentored and eased into the team, I personally don't see Amartey up to the task of breaking into the first team. Another young lad to come into the picture and play cup games etc and challenge for the first team spot would hopefully create a bit of friendly competition for simpson.

Captain... Posted 14 December 2017 Share Posted 14 December 2017 Simpson is 30 now and still our only recognisable right back, if there is nobody ready to step up from the youth team and Amartey isn't getting any game time then we should sign a young promising out and out right back, someone with pace but can learn the defensive game from Simpson. We need competition and cover because we have been lucky so far, but we will look very exposed if Simpson gets injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amartey isn't getting much of a look in, I think he is seen as the least bad option at right back, after Simpson and Albrighton as wing back, he hasn't convinced anyone yet that he is a RB.

Lovejoy Posted 14 December 2017 Share Posted 14 December 2017 The way I see it is there would be no disrespect to Simpson if we bring in another RB for competition, it is literally the only position we have no other strong option. Simpson is arguably our best defender, but it'd be good to have a more attacking alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why tempt fate and rock the boat by bringing in a shed load of players for positions that don't really need bolstering, and have players that are doing well in, which no doubt everyone on here will be clamoring for once the january window opens with the usual itk and ger im in crap. And the reason we were shit the following year wasn't because Kante left, it was because, imo, the players just couldn't get themselves up for it and were all dreaming of CL nights, much like the rest of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amartey really needs to nail down a position and get some minutes as a squad player or be sold. I feel he's just stagnated since he got here and hasn't progressed. He's 23 in a week so it's time to shit or get off the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone young and not expecting to play every week. Totally agree with both of you guys. Simmo is a really consistent and valuable player, he may not be the best with the ball but his defending is solid and committed. I almost think that him staying back adds some balance, like Arsenal of the early 90s with Lee Dixon as more he stay back and Sansom/Winterburn the go forward. From what I've heard, both Pascanu and Johnson are very capable in the youth set up, so I'd like to see them given some time to come in. Maybe on loan first, just like Chilly to Huddersfield?

Which is what I’d like to see. Instead of blowing a fortune on random players and hope they fit in, why not just bring players through that we know will fit in because they have been trained by us and been around the first teamers so have got to know them. And then add a star every now and then. If young lads know they’ve got a chance at the big time, they’ll try their hardest to get there. Players like chillwell are the stars of the future, I bet within a year he’ll be a 20 million pound player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyfox98 Posted 15 December 2017 Share Posted 15 December 2017 Could look at Kyle Walker-Peters from Spurs. He's young, quick and played well on his debut this season, believe he got MOTM. He's now third choice once again behind Aurier and Trippier. Would be worth seeing if he's available, and if so he could emulate what Chilwell is doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
