It’s only recently he’s been moved to LWB, really he’s a inside LWF. Tbh I’m very surprised he was even able to be moved to LWB because his work rate and application when things don’t go his way was always appalling. But really, bringing him to play anywhere down the right would be a very baffling move for me even if he is naturally right footed. Cutting in his a massive part of his skill set and underlying strength. Don’t get me wrong, I have been a fan of his for a while, even have an old Belgium shirt with his name on. But even so, I just don’t get it.
Very much in agreement with you two. Wouldn’t put it past Conte to use him as a RWB, and tbh I’d love him to be used there. But questions about suitability and adapting to that role. Beyond that, a fantastic player who is an amazing forward option, and if I had to guess is how he’ll be used.I’m with @Ghost Hardware on this one. Good player and versatile, but still plays 95% at left wing.
Sounds a lot like Perisic.LWB, RWB, LWF, RWF
Can play upfront if needed too.
So, on the whole, I wouldn’t be opposed
??
Not hearing many against it. He's a quality player for sure.He's right footed. Can easily play RWF as well...and cover Kulu.
How anybody would be against this baffles me.
Quality versatile player.
Will be interesting to see if this is as a WF or WBNeed things to drop into place, but there's truth in it.
I suspect the only argument against is his nationality. The club seem to be looking at players who tick the HG box. That's why a loan for Daniel James makes sense (particularly with Conte saying he needs two more windows). Someone who might not play much / at all, but fills a squad hole.Not hearing many against it. He's a quality player for sure.
Are we all assuming this is the primary target then?
