Because Jermain Jenas and that French woman said so. Nothing to do with Salisu losing his man twice.

The standard of commentating and punditry from Jenas (as well as others) has been horrendous across the tournament. Tactically lacking knowledge and then stirs up drama surrounding decisions through his lack of knowledge around laws of the game. I half expect that he’s asked to say stuff to build drama for the viewers but for me he comes across poorly.

Watched the goals again this morning. It confirmed my view at the time that it was ludicrous to blame Big Dan for either of them. Really hope that he and Ghana get a result against Uruguay to qualify for the last 16.

I'd keep him as a reserve/squad CB but I wouldn't offer him a new contract based on him starting for us over the next few years. 

 

Sorry, I know this is the Amartey spaff-your-pants thread and he's a lovely guy and certainly now a far more solid a footballer than he ever was for us and better as a CB than any kind of midfielder, but he's not a long term starting player at CB for Leicester in my opinion.

nobody expects that. He was our 5th choice cb, it’s not his fault that he’s better than the other options 🤷‍♂️

 

If he’s happy to stay as our reserve cb then we truly are lucky!

The greatest touch of Daniel Amartey's career

That attempt Dan made to stop the cross for Uruguay’s first goal today!
😂

[BoyJones]

Pleased for DA that he got a measure of satisfaction in ensuring Uruguay didn’t get out of the group.
 

Luis Suarez face at the end a picture. Some payback for Ghana.

Simply has to be offered a new contract. We aren't getting a better (in an ideal world) back up defender for essentially nothing and wages of only around £50-60k a week.

I’d say the problem is more what sort of CB do we look for in January. 
 

There’s no way he should lose his place and Evans is pretty much done for. 
 

I think it gives us the chance to target the 20-23 age range and buy a rough diamond, knowing they won’t expect first team straight away and it’s Dans place to lose.

fully agree but the bigger issue is whether his agent will point to the last few years and demand a starting cbs salary

He won’t get the coin he’s getting here anywhere else.

He has been very solid with Wout. Deserves a new contract.

i think he would tbh. He’s been solid for a long while and is only 27.  if the relegation teams wanted vestergarde they’d snap your hands off for big dan 

[FoxyLeon]

The greatest success story of Rodgers's man management in fairness. But, so was Iheanacho for a 12 months period.

Big Dan looks confident though and it's clearly because he's got a manager who trusts him.

He must stay forever and ever.

[Ian Nacho]

He’s definitely becoming a leader. 

[Clever Fox]

You just have to love Big Dan, He gives 100 % everytime he plays and looks better the more he plays.

We already have Nelson who will be almost 19 by the end of the January window. Recall him from his loan and let him compete with Dan.

If he can't get a run of games at Rochdale do you seriously think he's good enough for PL football?

What I meant was, Nelson needs to play at a level and gain experience before being considered for the first team.

 

I find it strange he isn't selected for Rochdale, and yes, if he isn't good enough for them then clearly he is way off the level we need.

 

Sometime a loan doesn't work out, but it's not that the player isn't good enough, and I believe Nelson is an example of this.

 

It's weird because Rochdale wanted him in ! (I believe the manager has since changed which may explain ?)

Apologies, my question was more aimed at Fox on the Rox, who thinks he should compete with Amartey, I used your post to point out that if he can't get  a run with a League Two outfit then he's well nowhere near close to PL standards, yet.
