He played half his games at right backHe made the team of the year. The players literally voted him the best left back in the league. What part of that is bollocks?

we have literally 2 fullbacks
Start 19 at rbHe played half his games at right back
Exactly. And that’s when we had no left backs. As soon as we get one, he will be first choice and Walker and Cancelo will rotate.Start 19 at rb
32 at LB
A lot of clubs loaning out prospects nowadays insist on minimum guaranteed games/minutes, with a recall or penalty clause if they are not met"You can have player x on loan, but you must play him" not sure what planet your on, but it's not a football one.... lol
JWE is quite some distance behind those two imo, in terms of both standout ability and likelihood to make it with us. Though positionally he might get luckier.I'm far more convinced by Wilson-Esbrand than I am with Delap (who I don't think will make it at the top level as he's a bit slower than he needs to be).
Not that convinced by McAtee's ability to make it at the top level either.
But then again, I said the same about Silva when he came to City....
Doubt it. Cancelo/Walker will still be the first choice.Exactly. And that’s when we had no left backs. As soon as we get one, he will be first choice and Walker and Cancelo will rotate.
He has played the grand total of one Carabao Cup game v Wycombe and missed much of the last 18 months with injury. He isn’t in a position to be demanding more minutes in our first teamWhat happens if we pay 45-50m for Cucu and JWE turns out to be a highly talented LB who wants to play much more minutes?
If JWE competes with a cheaper new LB, he can displace him and play gradually more and more minutes. But if a 50m LB stands in his way, his playing time will stay limited even if he improves a lot.
From JWE's perspective, it's not the same whether we buy a back-up LB to rotate Cancelo or a first choice LB. An expensive first choice LB would limit JWE's minutes over the next 2-3 years much more than a squad player like, say, Sosa.
This is probably a minor point, but it might have some weight for Txiki and Pep.
NoWith all the these funds we are accruing does anyone think we might go for Joa Felix
No, you make it clear he can go...just a few weeks later.Then what, he should waited until Arsenal losing interest on him and search other alternative? He instead get stuck again and playing season where get mostly on the bench again? Are we as club gonna tried pull shit like this just because we want our bargaining stance higher?, i thought we are supposed to be better than the likes of Levy but i guess some supporter around here likes his idea whether they are realizing it or not.
Treating our own player like object and not as person, the guy already giving everything he had for five year not complaining his role on team being benched mostly and we try to pull this shit by holding him back? Unbelieavable the word that our supporter throwing around here.
