RoyFox Posted 17 January 2018 Posted 17 January 2018 (edited) Very good game last night playing RB in 2-0 victory vs Strasbourg, moving Marseille into second spot of Ligue 1. 9 clearances, 6 headers won, 95% pass accuracy and a clean sheet. Edited 17 January 2018 by RoyFox 1
Munshi Posted 17 January 2018 Posted 17 January 2018 Watched him yesterday, looked really solid, wins loads of headers and is super fast. Gets forward a lot from right back too. 1
fox766 Posted 18 January 2018 Posted 18 January 2018 Apparrently we have put a second bid €5m and again rejected according to a link on news now (I know its not the most reliable of places before anyone says anything)
lcfc sheff Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 according to the times we're more likely to sign him in the summer, which makes sense after Amartey's recent form and considering simpson is coming back soonish. Could this mean one of them two is likely to leave us in the summer?

Could this mean one of them two is likely to leave us in the summer? Doubt it. Simpson is still a consistently good right back and Amartey has proven himself to be a decent understudy in at least two positions. Sure a new RB and our strengthened midfield options of Ndidi, Iborra, Silva, James, and King as well as perhaps Choudhary next season but it only takes a couple of injuries and a suspension or two before we really need him.

But where will amartey fit? people can't surely assume as a young player he's happy to play as a utility man for our team in the long haul, especially after recent performances where he's more than looked decent. IMO I can see Simpson perhaps being below requirements, but I suppose who knows really. Edited 19 January 2018 by lcfc sheff

Didn't mean to sound harsh, especially with what he's done for us. I just mean I think to evolve we need to definitely have more of an attacking threat from fullback, give opposing teams two issues to think about from the right side, which is turn can help out Riyad even more... if we somehow keep him
Adster Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 We clearly need the big guns now. Get Anderson Perry on the plane immediately.
