BlackTreacle 5 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Liability or not Aitor will make him into a good defender Link to post Share on other sites
Arskite 75 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Glad to see I'm not the only with a few reservations. I just don't quite see where he fits in exactly, that's all. No way we'll have given first-year assurances, that's always AK's call to make. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 He is a young lad with 59 Prem appearances. That's more than our entire squad combined (taking away Downing). And 3 full caps. He covers plenty of positions and will be eager to impress. As far as loan signings go this is probably one of the better we could hope to make. If he is good enough he will play. There is no way AK has guaranteed Wenger that he will play unless he is better than what we have. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Reading ***nal fans views of him over the last couple of years on other forums is similar to what JT said. They all seemed to think he was terrible at CB so strange to hear what you've read Brunners. All the fans forums I've looked at are saying they hope he's played at CB because he's better there but needs to improve. Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 1,000 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 BoroNut If we got Deulofeu, I would lose my s***!!! Top 6 would be a real possibility IMO Getting a bit ahead of yourself there mate :D I cried out in laughter. I can dream lads ;-) Technically we are already in the top 6 and just need to maintain form ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Beamish 0 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Has anybody heard that if Rhodes plays in the premier league we have to pay Blackburn 5 million off someone on FMTTM :D :D :D Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 640 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Well in fairness my brothers exact words were... He's better at right back... He's less likely to cost you a goal out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Has he been injured recently? Edit - ah no he played against Liverpool and then was out of the side. Link to post Share on other sites

Is that not just because he's behind Bellerin (who was sensational last season) at RB? Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Pleased about Chambers, a very talented young player who has just not kicked on at ***nal, hopefully this will give him the boost he needs, but I guess then they will want him back pronto. I think this is the end for Nsue, who seems to have been promoted above his capabilities, but I will always be grateful for his contribution to us last season. We seem to now have a very good defence, both in numbers and quality, how on earth they are all going to get game time I do not know, especially as we are now out of one cup. So a strong defence and combative defence minded midfield, you can see where Karanka's priorities lie, but the lack of width and pace is a continuing concern as I just do not know where the goals are going to come from, and goals win games and get you three points.

typicalbrough 17 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 He is a young lad with 59 Prem appearances. That's more than our entire squad combined (taking away Downing). Gaston, Leadbitter, Nugent and Guzan will probably have 200 appearances between them. Link to post Share on other sites

pikerman 1,121 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I have just scribbled down our potential first team and back ups and it all makes perfect sense until you move from the defence and past midfield. Presumably Karanka and the board must see our weaknesses, (as much as we all can on here), and actively be strengthening to cover the three behind the striker, two in two out?
