Even though Forest are potentially taking him off our hands, for which I am thankful, pleasantries never get old. Cracked me up. 😂

What a tweet

Will be very useful in the Europa League. Had a very decent season in 23/24 at Bologna and will most likely go to a European club if he doesnt go back to the Premier League. He's not had a decent run the team and was only held back by minor  injuries. Plenty of untapped potential and future sell-on.

Yeh definitely this - 100%. I’m that sure he’ll be so so good for Forest that  I’ll even drive VK to the City Ground myself and drop him off in their car park.

Please let this be true. Perfectly fine with Thomas as LB in this league. Kristianssen is awful, and has delusions of grandeur. Get out of our club ya tw@.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Really? What delusions of grandeur?

Except LT is significantly worse. In every metric

[Dunge]

Kristiansen is a feather. The kind of guy you want in the opposing trenches. When the going gets tough he mysteriously disappears, and when the going’s good he’s still nothing special.

Yes, he’s better than Thomas technically. But at least Thomas has some fight in him. Selling him to Forest would be great business.

He definitely isn’t. G

Looking at last season’s stats, Thomas has a better:

 

Passing accuracy %
Crossing accuracy %
Aerial duel success %

Take on success %

More clearances and inceptions per game

 

The reality is, it’s much of a muchness between them.

We don’t need two left backs of a similar standard. 

 

One doesn’t want to be here, has never been overly liked by members of the squad and we can get £10m for him. Even better when you consider it’ll bring the overall wage bill down as well. 

 

No brainer really. 
 

We’ll have 4 fullbacks in Choudhury, Ricardo, Thomas and Aluko.

Didn't he cry about losing his place in the Denmark team despite being a mainstay in one of the worst defenses in Premier League history, and with them having a proper stable of other options? 

 

I'd call that pretty delusional personally.

[ronnup]

Runs about, seems keen but is a disaster pistionally.  Doesn't seem to excel as a LB or  WB

 

Could easily do well somewhere else with decent coaching, something we haven't had for a while

Both absolutely pathetic 

[James_lcfc]

Our left back options are genuinely awful.

 

I'd love one that could progress the ball a bit - Luke Thomas is one of the worst progressive carriers I've ever seen and he rarely passes forward. Kristiansen is a bit better in this aspect but not by much.

 

Making a bit of profit on VK would be great, but a good LB on loan would improve us so much. Obviously striker and CM would be priority, but a good LB once Ricardo is back at RB would make a big difference.

I think that's a stretch. There's a big difference between not wanting to play a role which you feel doesn't put you at your best and thinking you are too good for the team in general.

On the flip side, Callum Doyle wasn't an LB, Ricky had never played as a 6 and Ndidi wasn't an 8. They all did well in their positions and didn't run off to a farmer's league to stat pad.

Kristiansen v Thomas is like two bald men arguing over a comb.

he was 18/19 at the time? How the hell does he know what position truly puts him at his best? It’s not like he was being asked to play in goal or as a striker..

[FosseSpark]

I think Faes was best when he was covering for Doyle as Left Side of a three almost. Kept him the f**k away from the goal and let him progress the ball. Maybe something for the pregnant pratfall of a pillock to consider for his next move.
