We just need to keep hold of them for as long as possible, but it makes sense to have a line of succession as well as cover. I agree, only way we keep them longer is by winning a trophy or getting into the champions league. Does anyone know if he is left or right footed? Never seen him play.

I just hope he isn’t signed in preparation for chilwell or Ricardo leaving in january/next summer. Shouldn’t have thought so. We do needs understudies for both positions.

eddylcfc Posted 9 June 2019 Share Posted 9 June 2019 If we do sign him; let’s hope he turns out a little better than the last full back we signed from league one... (Bakayoko) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 9 June 2019 Share Posted 9 June 2019 Seeing a fair few Luton fans quote offended (which I understand in their position) that he's being signed as back up to Ricardo, with some thinking he will come in and be first choice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLothianFox Posted 9 June 2019 Share Posted 9 June 2019 Maybe the idea is to play him at right back and play Ricardo on the right wing, He would certainly be better than Gray. Would this be the cheap option to get a new winger, leaving more money for Tielemans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 9 June 2019 Share Posted 9 June 2019 Don’t see any downside here. It’s because we signed Soyuncu and Benkovic last summer that we can talk about Harry being the most logical guy to sell, for way more than he’s worth. If this lad puts us in that position with Chillwell or Ricky in the future, would that be a bad thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 10 June 2019 Share Posted 10 June 2019 We need backup anyway but wonder if this is because of all the reported interest in Ricardo. We did similar last summer with the CBs when Maguire was being targeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure where he fits now, we have backup everywhere. He signed a new contact so a loan away to build up some value will be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy Posted 10 June 2019 Share Posted 10 June 2019 Will people **** off with the idea of moving Ricardo, one of the best rightbacks in Europe, to the wing. Amartey will not suit an attacking team and Justin is one for the future. Mad as it may seem to some of you, we may well be working on signing actual wingers to replace dross like Ghezzal, Gray and Albrighton. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 10 June 2019 Share Posted 10 June 2019 Amartey is still a useful squad player. Can play defensive mid, right back, CB in a pinch. By all accounts a thoroughly well-liked presence in the clubhouse. I doubt he’s going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
