2022/23 Allan

[Toffe3m4n]

Had has best spell with us in a midfield 3. Not a stretch to suggest that he's a bit more comfortable in that system.

Still good to have a fit Allan there as backup for now.

Wrap him in cotton wool, slip £100k inside each week and then blast him into outer space at the end of the season

People act like he can't move. He's a good player and a good progressive passer. Ideally we'd have moved him on but if he's staying then he should be used. Honestly he should play on Saturday if Gana's not ready.

if we are playing a 3 in midfield - absolutely

If he ends up staying we should use him, can use his experience and rotate him in and out of the team,

I'm hoping with more mobile and tactically aware players in midfield we might see a better version of Allan. I think he's suffered having the likes of Gomes around. He was very highly rated before coming here, we might get to see the player Napoli had.

Or Not lol fingers crossed we do.

Let's be honest if his legs hadn't been on the way out he wouldn't have signed.

I am surprised he is still here , I thought he was 100% certain to go.

Any chance to move him to any of the few leagues with an open window?

Davies will get far more game time. I'd be surprised if Allan features much at all. I like him, no issues with work ethic or his overall game, but he isn't reliable or adaptive enough for this league.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He needs to get a few minutes every now and then so he won't be rusty if we really need him.

Think it would be a good result. He's quite far down the pecking order now and earning a huge wage.

Another sobering reminder that Richarlison was the only player any club was willing to pay actual money for. It's easy to underestimate just how much of a mess was made of things.

Realistically the only marketable assets of consequence we had at the start of 2022 were Digne, Richarlison, DCL and Pickford. It would appear that this is on its way to changing.

If the right deal for Allan emerges, we should take it. If not, it's hardly the end of the world to run his contract down. He's likely to be a bit player, but on that basis it would seem likely that we would get some value out of the situation.

I’d rather keen Allan than ever play Tom Davies again. I’d prefer seeing Allan in a three to Doucoure to be honest. Least Allan can pass a ball.
