Give him games in a natural position and we may see a decent player. As it stands can't see much hope for that Is that because he doesn't have a position? Being serious. Where does he actually play?

FoxesWalk Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 http://sportwitness.co.uk/club-far-likely-accept-leicester-offer-player-loan-clause-ahead-competition/ does he count as an “international defender”? He has played for the national team... St Etienne apparently want such a player included in Fofana deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 I've always wondered how Amartey ended up being represented by Zahavi... like you look through his clients... Lewandowski, Zaha, Telles and in the past Tevez and Mascherano... just a bit of an outlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 The thing I do find puzzling about Amartey is that during his time, when not injured, he has never been properly tried in what appears to be his best position of CB. He was highly praised for that role for Ghana in the African Nations Cup. I am not suggesting he is up to it as I've never seen him play there, but it is odd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardinio'sCat Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 If we sell him and he shines as a CB, we only have ourselves to blame, although that isn't a given, obviously. His versatility hasn't really helped him during his time here... the curse of the utility player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 I’ve just had to check when we bought him, he’s one of those where you forget where he came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebfromgrebland Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 Surely we need him right now? He played ok against arsenal considering it was his first game for 2 years. It doesn't make sense letting him go now. If he's surplus he can go in January when we're sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 24 September 2020 Share Posted 24 September 2020 (edited) If Amartey going to France clinched the deal for Fofana then it would make sense. Puel knows him well and we get the player we want. If he's as good as people think given the clubs chasing him then he's likely to be worth much more than we;re paying. Just get it done, We need someone and he's the best candidate. Edited 24 September 2020 by Clever Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current climate it would have been worth trying him there against Arsenal for me let alone before. What had we got to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City1884 Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 The lack of a position is a huge issue for Amartey, and anyone potentially looking at signing him. He actually joined us being recognised as a DM, he’s played for us (sparingly) as a makeshift RB, now people see his position as a CB?? Add to this his time out through injury, and nobody actually knows what his best position is, because no-one has got to see it for the past few years.....

He deserves that he seems a nice guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense, as nerve racking as it is seeing him start, if Brendan can get him upto speed at CB and playing well then it's a god send. As we've all been saying we need the CBs at the club with 3 games a week. That now could be Soyuncu, Evans, Amartey and a signing by the looks of it, the four we need. The Ndidi injury has forced some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravel Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 I do hope he makes a good fist if it today. He's not a first team selection but has been unlucky with injuries. If I am wrong and he is a duffer today, thanks big fella and goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
