North Leeds Fox Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 Great news! Says it's less than half the 12m quoted but has add ons attached. Good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 Excellent - a tad controversial perhaps but this may mean Amartey when fit might be moved on as this fella can play both sides - hopefully he's gonna be good enough and can learn and develop from Chilly and Ric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 Looks to be a bit of a utility player also so we could see him in a few positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends doesnt it. if 1 or 2 or 3 injuries he can cover those. If he needs selling then sell but there is a lot more to come from him. Just seems a waste if chilly gets injured we would have justin if Ricardo is to play on the wing we have amartey to cover RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyfox Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 (edited) We have Fuchs to cover for Chilwell. We now have 4 full backs and 5 centre backs, how much cover do we need? Do we need to keep Amartey? That's without the kids. Edited 25 June 2019 by hackneyfox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would perhaps suggest out tactic is to buy talent (player 1) and bring them on, then we buy more, even younger talent (player 2) to replace them and give them a year or two bedding in period before selling player 1. Leaving player 2 ready to take over, already embedded into the squad and club. Rather than us just trying to find players when you've just sold one. We might not do it every time, but if it's a venerable position (we have two very sought after full backs). Then it probably makes sense if you are willing to play the long game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes great sense to have a few players available to play any role when called for. Not really - unless they have a performance in them that warrants being on the bench - Amartey doesn't yet at top half Prem level. Perhaps we differ in opinion and he's a lovely fella and still young and developing and yes I'm an arse for 'writing him off' (I'm not actually) but the best thing that could happen for Amartey is a loan to the Championship to get some playing time in one single position and getting back his football identity before he turns into an all round poor utility player.

Oops probably didn't make it clear, I'm all for this signing and now think Amartey can be moved on. We have cover in every position he covers.

I was hoping this is what we were doing with Benkovic and Soyuncu, can't help but feel they'll be exactly in the same position as they were a year ago though when Maguire goes. Also, there's not the same level of forward planning out wide or in attack, hopefully to be rectified this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off how much parents gloss over that being a parent to a baby is the absolute pits at times. I am never afraid to tell people that, much to the horror of people when i'm scathing about it. Hahahaa. It's all good in the end though...
