Smal Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Definitely think it's time to give him a run in midfield. At least in the FA cup game anyway. He could play that more advanced LCM role we use better than Longstaff has done imo... Longstaff is completely unsuited to it and is a different player on the right. Get him crossing from deep on the left and providing overlaps for Gordon. It makes sense in a lot of ways. Edited January 16 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It just gets odder and odder. At 2 nil up with a game on Tuesday on paper he's such an obvious sub for any one of Burn, Gordon or Miley and he never even warmed up did he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you’re not worth £28m and it’s a bit of a worry (N-O trademark). This. Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Howe shouldn't bother putting him on the bench at this rate. He should be giving games in the u21s the poor sod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The shit thing is we probably leaned on him being a supporter of the club to get him on loan, and then this. Canny shan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Again, not remotely worried about this. If he's going he's going, if he's staying there will be a long term plan for him and a pathway into the first team, it might just take longer than we'd hoped.

If this is the case surely it’s better for Chelsea and the player for us to send him back. Its not good for his development or confidence to be seeing Matt Richie getting on the pitch ahead of him.

TRon Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I thought that it had been confirmed we were obligated to buy him now. But from his lack of appearances that wouldn't seem to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
