What do you do with a teenager who's had a breakout season but who has no immediate chances of regular first team football ahead of Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes and Chalobah...keep him rotting on the bench not doing anything, that'll help his development!
With Quina I assume it must be attitude, or lack of tactical discipline, rather than ability. I personally don't think Ngakia is good enough either tbh.
He'll begin well, score a couple of long range goals and have the fans purring. Then he'll start getting subbed earlier each game before becoming a sub himself, then remaining unused on the bench. Then he'll come back next season, say that he's really learned from his latest loan, feature in the pre season videos before being sold/loaned.
And you can be damn sure I'll be convinced he's the answer to our midfield problems when I see a twitter clip of him scoring a free kick in a training drill
A tangent but do you remember when Boro got Fabbrini on loan and he started incredibly? For a three week period they were convinced they had signed 1987 Maradona.
Fair point. In the real world context any sympathy for footballers working conditions needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
I think if you combined the best of Fabrinni's attributes with the best of Fessi's attributes you would have had a generational talent.
As long as this hybrid includes Fessi’s unbelievable ability to dive and wind up defenders, I’m all in.
Came on at 86 minutes against Atletico in their last match and managed to get sent off with 2 bookings
I would recall him. Then sell him and use the 500k we'd get to buy a League Two midfielder that would do a better job that the current slackers we have.
This reminds me of the usual pre Wimbledon headlines in the papers from 1968-77: " Could this be Ginny's year?" Only of course it was,not least because Sue Barker blew it against the 'Cooker' when she was by far the best player in the second week.
Penaranda is doing quite well, isn't he? Been in the squad an impressive 0 times for Boavista this season.
VW and SB,winners of major tournaments. Quina and Bertie, supposed talent unfulfilled. Let's have VW,SB, Shirley Brasher and BJK. Formidable!
Rotherham fans seem to think he'll be joining them this week, probably on loan. Could be a good move, I have a feeling next year could be his year.
Continuing his bouncing around from crap La Liga teams to crap Northern teams on loan. Almeria and Doncaster next year for Domingos' European tour!
Put Dan Barlaser into the deal coming the other way and I’d be well up for this. Barlaser is one of the best midfielders in the league.
Looks like he is going to Rotherham . https://mobile.twitter.com/secondtierpod/status/1620381776224083971
Sorry, he might well be but all the clues are there already. We are simply unable to recruit him. DAN BARLASER = LARD A*SE BAN
