Confirmed Signing Niels Nkounkou

[Goat]

It would be silly to leave ourselves with 1 LB.

I get that, I just feel that young lads don't improve not playing.

Remember the season will be cramped too so probs Digne will need a rest some games.

 

[Goat]

And we rely on Delph to fill in????

Are you mad Goat lol

He should train with the first, be on the bench for the firsts & play for the U23's.

Whoever we sign is only playing cup games really for LB so may as well be someone we already have.

I said I don't have the answer, just if it was up to me I would have him out playing weekly.

Its a real shame Baines didn't stick around.

If he's any good I can Ancelotti giving him opportunities this season, especially with everything so condensed.

 

[atrottel]

And then our reserve LB is...

Gibson?

 

[ArtetaMagic]

He'll get minutes, digne always picking up little knocks

 

[AaronTheBlue]

He'll stay with the first team and rightfully so, He's our back up left back and will offer something to the side over the season.

 

[Nymzee]

Gibson?

He's crap there.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Would be silly to not loan him out to aid his progress, IMO.

We are a bit in a bind if he is as good he looks. Technically, he should be loaned because he looks too good to be sitting the bench. But he is the only legitimate backup we have right now. Digne (or Niels) would have to play more advanced for it to work because Digne is too good to be displaced as well.

Agree, its a tough decision for sure.

Christ, he’s only 19, give the lad a chance lol

Check out the Kean thread from last season. You’re in for a shock.

This lad was made in a fluid filled tank in a lab run by some insane geneticist last seen making super soldiers for the Russians. What a unit.
