Throughout the vast majority of his career he's played at right back or RWB though.Lot of talk about right backs in a thread about a guy who is playing right wing in a 4-2-3-1.

Okay but also for the vast majority of his career he's played wing back or right wing.Throughout the vast majority of his career he's played at right back or RWB though.
You’re underestimating the power of a mother’s word.If Tino can get to the level of those two (which he is more than capable off) it will at the very least be a battle based on form.
Furthermore, with the 3atb system it allows to fit more of these RB's in.
I mean as a youth player as well rather than just the time he's been at Brighton.Okay but also for the vast majority of his career he's played wing back or right wing.
Ghana have qualified for the world cup haven't they?Seems the decision was made a few months ago (I missed them) but the process is now complete for him to represent Ghana.

indeed. i don’t want anyone playing for england that sounds like they could be a species of fish.Good decision.
nah. chelsea will block it for him as he’s just too important, only to force him to sit on the bench anyway.Good for him.
Got a feeling Callum Hudson-Odoi will soon join him in the Ghana NT.
get out!nah. chelsea will block it for him as he’s just too important, only to force him to sit on the bench anyway.

Best defender out of any of the modern day lot, and it shouldn't be overlooked that he could get forward and knock a good cross in too.I wonder if Gaz would've got a look-in if he'd come around nowadays
Lamptey has great pace and attacking verve, but has an injury record Jonesy would be concerned about.For me, Livramento or Lamptey would be a good get for us at RB.
He was out with a major hamstring injury that was operated on in the 20/21 season, but since coming back, in September 2021 he's been unavailable for just 1 game in the last year.Lamptey has great pace and attacking verve, but has an injury record Jonesy would be concerned about.
The under rating of some of the older players boggles my mind.Best defender out of any of the modern day lot, and it shouldn't be overlooked that he could get forward and knock a good cross in too.
Hard to compare eras though.
Hudson Odoi was rumoured to be switching for a long time but more recently the reports have been that he's having second thoughts. Supposedly Nketiah is still deciding too. Ghana played Nigeria in a play-off for a place at this World Cup. If Nigeria would've won I think you would've seen a number of dual nationals switch to them. In this case Ghana won and have got Lamptey and Inaki Williams so far because of the victory and World Cup place.Good for him.
Got a feeling Callum Hudson-Odoi will soon join him in the Ghana NT. Nketiah would also be eligible for them if he wants to.
Lamptey isn't really a right back. He's quite a specialised player that only really excells in a back 5. He also has dodgy hamstrings. He's definitely become overrated. In reality he's never established himself as a starter for Brighton and hasn't started a game for them this season yet.For me, Livramento or Lamptey would be a good get for us at RB.
Let’s see how Livramento does when he comes back from injury.For me, Livramento or Lamptey would be a good get for us at RB.
You can certainly reserve the right to think he’s become overrated. I stand by my opinion that he would be a good get for us RB/WB this assuming that he’s going to get over his injury issues of course.isn't really a right back.

So you'd want to sign a player that can't even get into the Brighton first team as our first choice right back in a 4 when he's only excelled in a 5 and even then only on ocassion?You can certainly reserve the right to think he’s become overrated. I stand by my opinion that he would be a good get for us RB/WB this assuming that he’s going to get over his injury issues of course.
I said Livramento or him are good gets because they’re young and I see upside in them - as in they will improve from where they are, and because I also think they would be reasonably priced. Both are at the right stage and age to compete with Dalot who appears to be in an upward trend.So you'd want to sign a player that can't even get into the Brighton first team as our first choice right back in a 4 when he's only excelled in a 5 and even then only on ocassion?
Surely there is no more apt use of the term 'overrated' in football when applying it to a player that everyone seems to think is great but who doesn't start on merit for a mid-table club? The player who starts over him is Solly March.
Fair enough. We will have to see how Liveramento comes back but he's the better rounded of the two.I said Livramento or him are good gets because they’re young and I see upside in them - as in they will improve from where they are, and because I also think they would be reasonably priced. Both are at the right stage and age to compete with Dalot who appears to be in an upward trend.
All this talk about first choice right back etc is coming from you. Again, I didn’t say you’re wrong in labelling overrated. I said I stand by my opinion of him being a “good get”.
Alternatively, he's had 3 separate hamstring injuries totaling 277 days, by age 21.He was out with a major hamstring injury that was operated on in the 20/21 season, but since coming back, in September 2021 he's been unavailable for just 1 game in the last year.
