Assume Dummett considering he's been given a new contract. I would hope Burn would be ahead of Dummett for backup though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I personally think the Dummett contract was more about transitioning him into another role in the club, when he stops playing. He has hardly contributed much recently as a player, so that can surely the only logical conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Solid signing and is definitely good value for money. He won't need any time to settle in or take up a huge chunk of the budget whatever that budget is. We could probably have signed a better LB but at a much bigger cost and risk. Happy to see him sign permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re actually pretty well stocked for back-ups currently aren’t we? Lewis, Dummett, Burn, Manquilo, Krafth and Ritchie could all play there . Obviously some will have to be moved on… Edited June 8, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If other clubs are trying to rip us off, then this seems a good move. Targett did look vulnerable against the better teams, but generally he did a good job for us and is certainly the best LB at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the transformation we've seen with the likes of Kraft I am more than happy to see Lewis given another chance at the club. He was a rabbit in the headlights, but then so was Kraft - and he put in one or two solid performances in some important wins for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Left backs: Targett, Lewis, Dummett Right backs: Trippier, Krafth, Manquillo That would be a solid set of options for a season or two in the full back positions, so long as Lewis can come on a bit, and be a bit more of an attacking option, and Krafth continues where he left off, he's perfect backup.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Might sound stupid but I prefer this to Lodi as we will still go out and get a LWB at some point (and could still bring in one this window). Letting Target loose seemed pretty mental for that price. Can see him becoming a handy squad player down the line, he would made a brilliant LCB in a 3 you would imagine.

Fantail Breeze Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Sensible decision. Did well enough to earn the move and expect he’ll be a decent back up option beyond this season. Anything that puts Dummett further away from the squad is a good move, makes his squad place seem stranger though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no room for Manquillo in the 25, like, Murphy and Fraser would be used in an emergency I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Would love to have seen Lodi here as I think he would have been an incredible signing but targett has been absolutely solid. So many times I've seen him stop the opposition right winger and completely kill their attack. Plus will do wonders for our ffp if we need to spend bigger elsewhere so a great bit of business all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hope for everyone's sake he gets a decent move cos he's clearly not fancied here (Howe making most of us look like mugs when preferring Krafth to him). He'd be a good option for a newly promoted team and especially for a Championship side. Seems like one of those that might end up going back to Spain though.

Unsure about that, Manquillo can cover LB as well. Guess it depends how much faith they have that Lewis can be Howed back to life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Absolutley great decision all round. He deserves this chance. It's a great price and means we can put the budget to use in other areas. We can revist a more attacking LB in due course. A hopefully now recharged and injury free Lewis will get his chance in pre-season too. I'm happy to wait until January at least on a more attacking LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Do loan players even bother with a medical? Surely they're only undertaken to ensure you're not investing in an asset that's immediately going to plummet in value on account of being broken? (Which wouldn't apply in the case of a short-term loan signing). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
