egg_fried_rice Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Sell if we can. He won't ever make our starting lineup. I like the bloke and he's nowhere near as bad as some make out, but he's not even the backup choice any more in any of the positions he's played for us.

Dahnsouff Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 3 minutes ago, FIF said: He is a good young player. I think a half season loan to Sheffield would be great for him and Sheffield but I certainly do not want to sell him. He's back from injury and he has a lot of talent which could be about to explode. Dan is a big lad, if he explodes he going to make one hell of a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 2 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 2 August 2019 He'll be twenty five in December and still nobody knows what his actual best position is. He's fairly mobile and fairly strong with a great motor and he works hard. But he's barely better on the ball than Ndidi and he's definitely worse off it. Think the idea that he's still got potential to turn in to a key member of our squad is just wishful thinking based on the fact he's a grafter and he seems like a nice lad. We probably have to be honest enough to accept he'll have a better career at a club that's currently got slightly lower ambitions and I don't think that's cruel to say. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barock Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Hopefully a loan and they try him at CB? Has he ever played for us at CB which I think will be his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bossman Blessed It Posted 2 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 2 August 2019 He's our third best right back, seventh best centre back and fourth best defensive midfielder - makes no sense to keep him considering he's going to take a while to get back to fitness after his injury. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Don't think he's quite good enough. Not really sure what people are seeing that I'm not to be honest. Can't see where he ever starts for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Loan for the season so he can have a full season playing and be fully fit for Rodgers to judge him and reassess next summer when he’s got 2 years of contract left so could still get a decent fee or use him in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollinsLCFC Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 (edited) Brilliant if a loan move. He needs consistent first team game time at this point in his career, and he will not get that here. Loan him out for the season in the PL, see how he gets on, and then reassess next season. He is still young.

mozartfox Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Plotting?? A new word for the Sky sports bell-ends to use as they have worn out ‘we are told’ - ‘we understand’ ‘ our sources tell us’. Loan fine, but do not sell. More deserving cases for the chop than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Keep him as back up for now but let him go at the end of the season. realistically is he going to become a regular first team player. probably not. he's been here a while now and is just known at a utility player. he's a jack off all trades player, competent in different positions but not an expert in any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey123 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Seems to me like a good player lacking that slight edge in confidence that you need to fulfill your potential. Think a season loan would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Easy decision to sell. Wouldn't get into our first XI or second XI. Popular player but our squad size is ridiculous and clearly needs trimming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Loan move would be perfect for all involved. I reckon he'll be a very steady squad player for us if he gets a run of PL games under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJS84 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 i think a loan would be best initially. if he does improve and shows something then we at least have the choice of keeping him. if he does well for them, but we think he's not really in our future plans, then they are likely to want to buy him and we can move him on.

StriderHiryu Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 This would be a great move for him IMO. Amartey has the physicality to succeed in the Premier League, but isn't the most technical. In preseason so far he's not been bad at all, but you can just see that he plays the ball a lot slower than other players, and he takes that second or two too long to get the ball moving again. But in terms of being a man mountain and steady, he's decent. I think if he played in a team that suited his strengths like Burnley, Newcastle, Sheffield United he would be pretty good.

danny2997 Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Rate him as a utility player, but as others have said, it's very unrealistic to suggest he'd get any game time here. Let him loose so he can make a career for himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre half we've got four minimum in front of him. Right back we've now got Ricardo and Justin (suppose say you were without both Ricardo and Chilwell you could go Justin left back and Amartey right back but even then you've got Fuchs). Centre mid we've got Ndidi, Choudhury and Mendy all in front of him for me. Nothing against him. No issue with his character at all but just not really that good to be honest. He's not really higher than fourth choice in any position. Not the first player in the squad I'd get rid of but we don't really dictate who goes first here. Good luck to him. It's a good move.
