triggs Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sam would play him as a DM. I guarantee it. This is my fear. And you just know he'd be awesome there, and we'll all be pissed off about it. Sam has a history of this with both Abdoulaye Faye and Cheick Kouyate. Allardyce's expectations from a central midfielder are a lot different to Rafa's. Fat Sam basically just needs a physical tackler in there whereas Rafa would want a technically accomplished player in that position. I like Mbemba as a defender, but he's had enough bad games for me to understand why we would be prepared to let him go. Mbemba is technically accomplished Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Let's pray he has/gets his shit together. Would suck if his decent form for us was some sort of fluke. Looking forward to his move away to West Ham in January, though. I hope we're only loaning Mbemba with no obligation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This gonna be a deadline day job with someone seeing him in Wetherby services at like 9:40pm? edit: when's the last deadline day signing we had?

binnsy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 after signing Schlupp, Van Aanolt and with Zaha back i can't see Townsend staying at Palace, he'll want to leave for first team football if he thinks hes going to be on bench and they will want to recoup some of the money they have splashed out in this window, even if its only say a £3m loan fee.

Kimbo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Shame about Mbemba, I still think he has potential and i'm not convinced Clark will be a better option when we're back in the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
