Overrated and no where near worth £50m. I’d rather we signed a winger to play RWB like conte likes doing.

Lamptey is ok but he’s not for me.

Traore would’ve been ideal for what conte wants tbh, can ? see why we were going for him.

I thought we marked him well
Yeah, I was coming in here to say that. Reguilon and Davies covered him off very well, plus he had the added bother of having to deal with Reguilon and Davies bombing forward down that side too.

The one time he got free of Reggy and Ben, Romero smashed him.

He’s a young player and he’s just come back from injury, he’s not a fifty million pound player, but at the right price he’d be a good option on the right I think. I think we will look elsewhere though.

I do like Lamptey, I do feel he still falls into the prospect category though.

I think the money for him is too much for where he is at. Plus with Bissouma surely on the move this summer due to his contract, I find it hard to believe there is a decent deal to be done for Lamptey.

Think I would swerve this one personally.

Spence for £15m is way better value than £50m for this guy - I didn't see it personally

He might not be able to hit a barn door, but at least Royal is a physical presence up the wing

It's a shame most RBs that would be ideal for us all seem to be injury prone. I'd also have a look a youcef Atal at nice. He has a very good attack output however also seems to pick up injuries quite regularly. His contract expires 2023 so could be potentially available quite cheaply in the summer coming.

Not sure about some of the reaction to Lamptey's performance on Saturday. Sure, he had a quiet game but the guy is absolute quality. He's been exceptional since returning from injury. His technical ability is lightyears clear of Emerson's, he's quicker, a better ball carrier/dribbler and a better crosser. Emerson is good in the buildup and fine defensively but Lamptey at RWB would transform how we progress the ball down that side of the field. We'd be lucky to sign him, he'll probably end up at United.

Not sure about United, would he be any good in a back four given how diddy he is?

That was always the thing about us signing him before Conte came in and switched us to a back three team.

I don’t think people are really opposed to signing him, it’s just the fact they want 50m for a player who’s had serious injury problems at a young age. Plus he’s a player who hasn’t actually done much and is 4th/5th choice for England.

4th/5th choice because 3 players ahead of him are in the top 5 right backs/wing backs in the world, and Southgate is very loyal to his men (Trippier). Not really a bad reflection on Lamptey for me. I agree 50 million (if that's even what they'd want) would be too much but it's mad how many "I've never rated him" opinions have come out after one bad game.

I agree on people jumping to conclusions on 1 game. I’ve watched him a few times this season including against Chelsea and he was great. I wouldn’t happily have him but more 30m. Yes they are but it still doesn’t detract away from that there are numerous wing backs better than him and he has barely played many games.

I saw him earlier this season and he defo looked like a £50m player. But it was one match, before his injury, and one swallow does not a summer make.

Football isn't all about Speed.

One of our better attacking full backs in the past imo was Corluka.
