No we have 2. Sagna is back.

But is he ready to step onto the field in a competitive match?

 

[Goater=Legend]

I think Zabaleta will play against Chelsea and Sagna will be ready for Kyiv

 

[sam-caddick]

if he gets taken on tour in the summer there will be huge opprtunity for him to impress and maybe even force his way into the first team squad.

our left back position is open.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He's a tailor made Pep player. He'll get his shot.

Far too frequently during games.

Far too frequently during games.

Which could only become worse with him as a leftback

Clichy is injured. Pellegrini would put Sagna at LB and Zabaleta RB before using Angelino though (like vs. Sevilla)

I know mate, although it was promising to see today that he finally used Kelechi ahead of Bony in a Prem game

...for ten minutes when everyone on the pitch looked to be thinking which shampoo would work best for their level of sweat and hair colour. Aguero should have come off right after his hattrick. I was still frustrated.

There is a reason we are having trouble getting many of our U16 players to stay in the Academy.

There is a reason we are struggling with the u16s and it has nothing to do with Ihenacho only getting 10 minutes a game.

During the PSG it was Ihenacho he sent to get ready when Aguero was injured, not bony. I think the West Brom game changed his mind about Bony.

Prior to today it seemed as though Bony was PL second choice and Kelechi was CL second choice but hopefully today was a breakthrough.

Back on topic, I'm hoping we don't buy a left back this summer and use Angeliño, having seen him play in person I don't have much doubt about his defensive abilities as he has the pace, nous & tenacity to make up for any defensive deficiencies.

Yes, but this was progress and a step in the right direction. Bony looked positively fucked off today which hopefully means he's been told (if he wasn't already aware) that Kelechi's better than him and will now be selected ahead of him.

I was referring to a cascading perception of a less than clear path to first team football. I am not sure how you can argue against that being partially attributable to Kelechi's situation (i.e. managerial stubburness, compensation structures, and transfer value concerns necessitating Bony appearances), among other factors strewn across the current system.

But I'd be glad to hear why you are certain it has nothing to do with the current youth retention issues.

Fair enough. We can only hope that corner has been turned.

A good interivew and a good video. The lad seems to be intellegent, funny and stuff, hopefully he becomes a top LB with us.

P.S. What is the word he says after 3:40, that, as he says, means "a small horse"? This word isn't "pony", is it?

 

[Matt the Giant]

Anyone knows where Angeliño will be this coming season? Out on loan again? Here with us? If so, which squad?
And isn't his contract about to come to an end? I seem to recall he signed for four years back in 2012.

Been training on/off with EDS/First team last season, so i think he'll be slowly introduced to the first team, especially since no other left back is rumoured here. And transfermarkt has him pegged down to his contract until 2019, which i am pretty sure is because he extended his contract when he went to NYCFC.

 

[Jacob Smith]

With Kolarov seemingly on his way it looks as though he'll understudy to Clichy/another left back if one is brought in. One step at a time, he'll make it.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Is he ready to be first choice? Or even second choice?
