KaKa Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Think Howe wants a defensively solid left backs at the minute to cover for ASM's lack of defensive ability on that side of the pitch. No idea why this guy wouldn't go out to get more games. Pretty weird and awkward hanging about the place when the team made you available for loan. It could have been a really rubbish club that came in for him though, so should probably cut the guy some slack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the potential and was ruined under bruce but playing week in week out could give him a decent career. As it stands if he doesn't go out and play he'll rot and be a Championship player rest of his career at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Howe actively went out and signed a left back on loan so it's obvious that Lewis (or the rest) hasn't impressed him like. I cannot see the reason we'd want to keep him in the squad? We've got plenty of cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This guy is Championship quality - one decent game hasn't changed my opinion and the sort that we used to look to buy in the hopes of selling for a profit in the Ashley era, a model that we have become less effective at year by year under him.

What has he done to earn his place though over say Ritchie? Just because Ritchie is shite, again I know who I’d rather have in my corner… Lewis has been badly mismanaged by Bruce, but I’ve seem enough that makes me think he has also been responsible for his poor displays too. Others have been mismanaged but somehow found form and stood up. To sack off game time is piss poor at this stage of his career, he’s clearly not wanted. He’s a coward and can rot in the under 23s for all I care. Thankfully we won’t be putting up with such dross and no marks for much longer. At least a Ritchie has earned things and proved himself here and fought his way back even, if again, he’s shite. Give me that any day of the week. I don’t demand a club that wins, but a club that tries. Same applies with the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Lewis is shite and if he had anything about him, he’d try and prove that by going away to get game time. Ideally most won’t be here next season, and I’m sure they won’t, but Ritchie vs Lewis is neither here nor there, only one is made of a much better character! When beggars can’t be choosers, give me leadership and character and hard work over the alternative, when it’s shite vs shite anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Same @HaydnNUFC. Thought he’d come good with a better manager in place. They must think Manquillo can cover left back and right back if needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Lewis is atleast 4th choice LB though. He won't get game time. Richie is like 3rd choice LW? And if ASM is playing behind the striker he'll be 2nd? Like Reefer said we desperately needed another winger, but as things stand we need Richie as backup.

Totally agree and think that Lewis would come good too but I think this has been a personality judgement call on Howe’s part. He knows the lads way more than we do and has deemed him not up to the relegation battle unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Given the option of either: 1) Deactivated from the squad and no football until August 2022 at the earliest whilst picking up PL wages or 2) Go out on loan, stay fit, play games every week and possibly impress scouts who may be watching whilst still picking up thousands of £ each week. Any cunt choosing option 1 can fuck clean off. Absolutely fucking done with them as players and individuals. They've got every right to make their choice and sit it out each week, no problem. I've also got every right to think they're a greedy, cowardly little fuck for doing so. Works both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It speaks volumes about players not wanting to play football Unless the loan was on the basis they took a pay cut (unlikely) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It's possible that Howe thought he can send Lewis off to get some games and be ready to fight for the position in the summer. What if Lewis said, "I want to stay and fight for the job", and Howe says, "You're on" and he deregisters Ritchie or Dummett. Dummett's always crocked, Ritchie's days as winger are long gone. Murphy can take Ritchie's spot as the all around wide guy - he won't be needed as an RB so he can start retraining to deputy both wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 he's gonna regret this. think he might just be a little peeved and pissed off at the moment and refusing to leave. does the loan market to champo clubs shut tonight? could he still go out on loan abroad?
