Young player who will only improve. We aren’t currently playing a system that needs a left back. we’d face a massive loss if we were to sell today. So why would it be stupid to loan him exactly?

I certainly wouldn't feel depressed buy it. Sometimes a move doesn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperation will fall on us if we cannot shift those at the top of list. The mistakes of the past may well start to impact of our future. Very sad.

Scotch Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 Doesn't make much sense. He won't be ahead of Doyle but would certainly be backup. If he goes, we will need to replace as Thomas suits that LB/LCB role far less than VK does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 (edited) Depends on whether Enzo thinks he can play the Doyle role - if not then absolutely no point keeping him around - same with Thomas With how we play now it is very much the death of us having "traditional" right backs and left backs in the squad If we sign someone to compete with Doyle for that role I expect it is a lot more likely to be a left sided centre back that can play left back rather than the other way around Edited 13 August 2023 by moore_94 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Shire Fox Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 (edited) Ridiculous. There is going to be times in the season where we have to change system and possibly move to wing backs. The way its going we wont have any left. I really like Doyle but i dont think hes anyway near quick enough to play as a LB, much rather have him as a LCB with a quicker mobile full back next to him. Loan does absolutley **** all to us, not like VK is on ridiculous high wages that we need out unlike some of the bums left in the squad.

If Enzo has no plan on ever using them and it would open up spaces in the squad for us to sign players we will use then absolutely I think we will keep one of them, and it will be whichever of the two Enzo thinks can be more useful in how he wants to play the vast majority of the time, seemingly might be Thomas and not Kristiansen It wont help Kristiansen that he is a worse passer than Thomas is Edited 13 August 2023 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, not. Unless they're good enough at something else to be worth keeping. I reckon Maresca has enough smarts not to find himself in February going "Duh! Now I want to play with wing backs.

Of course you do. But if he knows none of the options he'll ever use include orthodox full backs, he'll only want players who can fill one (or ideally more) of the roles he does plan to use.

coolhandfox Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 I think people need to realise we probably still need to reduce the wage bill still. We can't afford to have Vic and Thomas on the bench not playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Rodgers downfall with his stubborness of Plan A or nothing, hope to God Enzo isnt going to go the same way. The Man City system that hes trying to emulate had Walker/Cancelo/Gomez who’re all full backs and fast ones at that Edited 13 August 2023 by South Shire Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sideshow Faes Posted 13 August 2023 Share Posted 13 August 2023 If we're not going to play him then sell him. We've kept far too many players around who aren't going to play the last couple of years. Time to clear them out. Thomas next please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes bought plenty over his time there. Mendy and brought Zinchenko through aswell. You have to have players who can fit into different systems, cant just rely on a back 3 then shifting a slow CB to LB Edited 13 August 2023 by South Shire Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty horrific they have to get rid of young upcoming players with high potential because they cant shift shite like Ndidi and Vestergaard on 80k a week to finance new signings I do find it rather interesting that even though Thomas has supposedly been told he can leave, he was actually brought into the squad yesterday for the first time where as those others that have supposedly been told to leave are now being kept well out of the match day squad, maybe he would be happy enough to keep him around if he stays? Not too sure we are getting rid of players like Kristiansen and Souttar because we are having to keep Vestergaard and Ndidi, he seems to actually like the latter two and they look to be staying because he actually wants them, not because we cant get rid Edited 13 August 2023 by moore_94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep has fully shifted from the inverted fullback system to having 4 genuine CBs with amazing ball-playing ability in the backline. If anything they're getting another CB for when Laporte leaves. Without Cancelo and Gomez, they still have Ake, Akanji, Stones, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Gvardiol, Walker, Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
