He isn't fit enough so no.If he is fit enough, should he be given one year shot as 2nd option to Udogie? We will have to buy a lot this summer and some of those more direct challangers to XI. Bit skeptical wether we can get enough talent in and central midfield / upper trio are more important and if we cash in on Royal, need also understudy to Porro. Reguilon is option too, but from him we can get some money and he probably doesn't want to stay anyway.

Such a waste of talent if he can't stay fit. I'm sure someone will gamble on him or at worst a short term pay as you play contract?I only have sympathy for him really. Poor guy never had a chance with all those injuries. I actually don’t know why anyone would risk giving him a contract but I’m glad that there are teams interested. Best of luck to him.
With all the injuries, he probably has the movement of a 40 year old. When he came on in the cup this season it looked like he was running in mud. Maybe he can make a return in league one or something but players still have to be in amazing shape no matter the league these days.Gutted for him. He had a decent run in the team under Conte, but those hamstrings have really cost him during his time here.
I have full confidence that he finds his way at another club. Mad to think he is still only 24.
I agree, and we have others in the squad that lack that confidence and aggression and are far too nice and soft. The club needs to recruit some talented "nasty bastards" to change our weak mentality. We had it in abundance under Poch, with Demeble, Walker, Kane, Vertonghen, Alderweireld etcAlways seemed to me that he never fully trusted his body or ability. Always had that worried look on his face as though he was going to be 'found out' any minute.
Struck me as a case of impostor syndrome, which was a hard watch at times. Clearly had the ability, but lacked any real grit/resilience imo.
Wishing him well.
How fucking randomInjuries are the obvious reason it never worked out, but I've never enjoyed watching a player who's facial expression is the same regardless of the situation. Not sure he has the right personality to make it at a big club.
