Right now it feels like this is our biggest issue. So thought it might be worth a thread to specifically discuss the options:
Options:
1. Trippier- I think we all know his pluses and minuses. A good option as a RWB but in a 4 gets exposed far too often. His lack of pace and height are regularly exposed and targeted.
2. Aurier- just far to eractic for me. Will have a great moment with an assist then do something stupid. Not a serious long term options for me.
3. KWP - still hard to judge as he is rarely played in his best position. There is obvious talent there but right now he’s a back up at best for me.
4.Foyth- I’m really warming to this as a possibility. I think he has all the tools to do the job. Pace height and a threat going forward.
5. Dier- As he appears to have dropped down the CM order maybe worth a shout as has played there for us. But for me he’s to cumbersome for the role.
What I’d do:
Sell Trippier + Aurier pocket the £40-50m to use on other areas CM. Make Foyth 1st choice and KWP back up. You’d also have Dier in an emergency. On the plus side we have lots of options and that’s even without buying.
