we will surely buy a new full-back.
Could stick Evans there.
Yep, important that it is the right club for him
It's not guaranteed he'd start - Rangel and Taylor have been impressive.
Of course we will. We don't have enough at the moment, let alone when we let one of them go. Rafael and Evra will basically be the only natural full backs at the club, with Jones capable of playing there. Smalling shouldn't be used at full back.
Tend to agree with this. I don't what Fergie has against Fabio, or why he's so determined to play Evra in every game. Has Evra really been that good in the last couple of years?
I actually think he is becoming a bit of a liability defensively, although still a threat in attack.
I don't think Fergie has anything against Fabio. He gave him a long run in the side last season. This season he has suffered alot of niggling injuries and with the lack of FA Cup and CL games, Evra does not need the rests. It's just I don't see the point in doing it for next season when we have no cover at left back and when Fabio has an opportunity to build on the season before. He's already had a decent run in the side, done a good job, is the right age to play more often and there is a squad place perfect for him. That's what makes no sense.
I think Everton would be a good place for him to come - Moyes would make him defend diciplined enough, and he's a good attacking threat. Right-footed so can easily play RB. He's a really good full-back IMO.
Yes he does. He started off playing on the right but moved to the left so that he wasn't competing with his brother for the same spot. He's played right back for us quite a few times last season and I think he would do well at Everton.
If we sign a new full back then we will actually have four genuine full backs, which is the sensible number of full backs to have, especially when two of those full backs have horrendous injury records.
Presuming there is a Gaitan deal, which the club has twice denied.
Cheers guys. Yes, i think he could do well here if he was given game time and Moyes didn't try to restrict his attacking game too much, but as you say marjen, he would definitely come back a better defensive player after being with us. Having to defend a lot more would make him stronger mentally and physically.
Thing is, he's actually a more diciplined defender by nature than Rafael - Rafael is possible even more aggressive, and a bigger attacking threat, though.
Why not just put him in the team full stop ? It would be difficult for him to make many more mistakes that cost us goals than Evra has done this season. And I'd have thought he'd offer us just as much going forward as Patrice.
Because if he is just acting as cover, he isn't going to get enough games to progress at an age when where progression is so important
He needs to be added into the 25 man squad, we can't keep him here hoping Evra gets injured and letting Fabio get a run of games. He's much better off being sent on loan to a club which can guarantee him 30-40 games as long as he's fit. A good season of loan would do him a lot of good.
