We bought him because Howe wanted him, dumb cunts

Well in that case why doesn't he play him? He dropped him for Burn before he was injured. If you can't be polite I suggest you give yourself a break from posting on here before an admin does it for you.

Was he not suffering from the heel injury for a long time? They were managing his minutes and game time. But it got too painful?
 

Was he also not ill and barely trained for a week or two (guessing Covid?). I’m sure Howe mentioned it after one game, Fulham away, I think it was?

Don’t doubt his ability, but tactically if he’s up against a player with feet and pace like that, he’s either put in the middle at the back or rested. I’m not saying Target will guarantee a job done, but he can move better against players like that.

Didn't think he was that bad tbh. :lol:

 

Wilson sterl the sher as far as bad performances that half went, woeful.

 

I don’t want to criticise him that much but a rest would be good for him. He isn’t the worst player today but you can’t deny that his was a lot better in the early season.

32 when his contract is up next summer, I'm sure there's been talk of a contract extension? I really hope not. Harsh on him probably but I don't see him bring anything to the table by then.

Wouldn’t he offer something as a back up centre back where he was OK when he first joined if I recall correctly.

Would we not want to be a more established top 6 team by then? Is a 33 year old Dan Burn going to offer anything? I'd sooner sign a 19-20 year old with potential that we can develop and push for a starting position.

You’re taking about a timescale of 12 months. If we sign a first choice CB this summer that would push Schar to third and Burn to fourth choice where he’d be fine for emergency cover and the odd cup game against weaker opponents , selling on Lascelles. The young CB could come in the 24-25 season to replace Burn, repeating the same with Schar the following season.

Imagine he’ll get a one year extension similar to what Dummett got this year. Basically hanging around in case of an absolute emergency at LB or CB.

I think he still has a massive role to play. Solid starting or back up CB and can fill in at left back but no way should he be starting left back moving forwards.
