AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 No harm I suppose, recently he's been decent. Solid enough squad option, hopefully we can get rid of the likes of Dummett and Richie to make some space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I really like him. To be out the team for as long as he was, then to come back and put in a couple of fantastic performances in the way he did was great to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Seems a good lad (another one) and has been more than fine as backup when called upon. Happy for him to be a squad player. If we do manage Europa or Conference, he'll likely get some game time there which will be cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Even when he was getting pelters during the Bruce years, I always thought he was actually pretty good at defending. Not exactly Trippier levels raiding down the flanks, but he wasn't the worst either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It's hard to judge without knowing the wages and our subsequent plans. But as it stands not thrilled at the idea of almost £3m in wages for him when Tino seems to be more of a backup RB / RB of the future as opposed to the solution at LB.

Nine Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) A good squad option that seems content enough with his current place in the squad and won’t be on a massive wage, good business imo. Edited February 14 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I like him but I don't know why he's been given a new contract? He'll play in the league cup early rounds only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 1 hour ago, Lush Vlad said: Don’t mind it. Looked quicker than I remembered against Fulham. Would be our 3rd choice right back and cover for CB as a kind of 5th/6th choice option. I guess keeping him as squad filler is seen as cheaper than trying to buy a utility player. That would also be happy as a back up to a back up. He was rapid last season too. Wouldn't be surprised if he's among the fittest in the squad. I'm happy he's staying on. As you say, the combination of quality, price (free plus not ridiculous wages) and psychology (seems good for squad atmosphere and mentally able to be reliable backup to backup) means he ticks the boxes for me.

He'll play in the league cup early rounds only. He's a solid and dependable player, who can cover both RB and CB, you don't get many of them happy to be third choice, and if he's replacing Dummett, it's a upgrade while also creating space in the squad.

Nail on head - he’s effectively number 9 if we go on the basis we need 2 players for each of the back four positions - come an injury crisis (which we are all too familiar with) he becomes very useful Edited February 14 by Mikky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Model professional. We won't be able to buy 100 players in the summer so needed to extend with some of the ones whos contract expired this summer. Glad Emil is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Makes sense I suppose in the post ffp/fun wastelands. What it would cost us to replace a versatile enough defender would come out of the ffp hobbled kitty and nobody would be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd be more concerned if dummett, Ritchie etc were extended but he's a functional player we could actually use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
