STUHILL Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 If he doesn't take his chance this season as a RB, then he needs to leave and try build his career around being a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanlegend Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 He's a decent player but makes too many mistakes, mistakes that often get punished at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Koke Posted 13 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 13 August 2018 He's back up. Do people expect back players to be of the same quality as first teamers? Problem with Amartey is he is inconsistent. He will have a decent game but randomly have a brain fart moment out of nowhere. When everybody is fit and ready he will barely make the squad so I suggest people save their scorn for players who start most weeks, not some average utility players who will make max 10 appearances this season. If an offer of £8-10m came in from someone like Stoke I would sell. Until then give it a rest. We know certain posters don't rate him, save us the repetitive posts. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is why was he picked at right back in the first place? We have sufficient midfielders to play Ricardo at right back; I think most thought that was going to be his main position. For me it was a strange decision by Puel to pick Amartey in starting line up. Amartey has shown himself capable of playing in several positions but is always likely to make a mistake that can cost us. Unless he becomes more consistent over this season, there is little point in having a versatile player as back up. There is sufficient scope in a 25 man squad to allow more than one consistently reliable player in every position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘repetitive posts’ would dry up and cease to be, IF he didn’t get played in the starting 11 against one of top sides away from home AND fook it up with a schoolboy error. Trust me. Then the posts would cease. Until he stops making me feel very very uneasy by looking like he’s going to shit himself when he has the ball, I’ll have to keep expressing concern. I’m a City fan, not an Amartey fan and if I think fielding him may cost us daft goals, I’ll say so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 He should go out on loan and play week in week out, there might be a good footballer in there if he was more confident 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do hope so though. He just seems a little below what we need, even as a squad player if we want to push on to challenge the top 7. I’m not saying we will be challenging but that’s clearly what the owners want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 August 2018 Share Posted 15 August 2018 I've said it before, but this lad just does not look an intuitive player. He looks unsure, nervous and at times clueless. This will only improve by playing lots more regular football and developing confidence/knowledge. If he doesn't go out on loan soon his career will disappear down the pan. It is fair to say his development has already stalled. One more season on our bench/ periphery and he will do well to ever establish himself even in the championship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
