I still think Davies has the potential to be but I doubt any of the others do.
Whether Davies is good enough for where we want to be is a different story but he is still very young.
I don't buy that Koeman was happy with Martina being his starter.
While he may have thought he was ok he still had him as his 3rd choice right back at southhampton. How highly could he have rated him.
He was given a budget and Martina allowed the numbers to work.
Now he is under a different manager.
This doesn't change the fact we were willing to go into a season with him being our first choice right back until Coleman was ready probably not until most of the season was over.
I know and that's the bit I don't understand.
All I can guess is that they thought he would be worth more to the club than a new RB. Maybe they thought they were buying a top quality player who was seriously undervalued. A player they could sell in a couple of seasons for twice what was paid...
I agree with you on all of this apart from "3rd choice right back".
Koeman didn't rate Kenny and Coleman had a broken leg. He was bought as our first choice right back.
Anyone who needs a reason to doubt Moshiri here's the reason.
He was bought as our starting right back/first choice cover at the start of the season and wasn't replaced in January when he had became by default our starting LB.
None of which I found surprising.
He still hasn't learnt to tackle...
Thankfully it sounds like he's fine.
I don't think the players didn't care. The commentators were saying how they surrounded the 4th official at half time for news and again in the dressing room.
Maybe they just didn't want to crowd around the medical staff.
