Didn’t we only activate an extra year extension on his contract a few months ago?Tweet

Better to do that and get a small fee for him this summer then have him move on a free. We HAVE to move him on though otherwise the extension is just repeating the same old mistakes. Extending to maintain value and then just having them stay at the club and stink out the place.Didn’t we only activate an extra year extension on his contract a few months ago?
It's happening. Moves are finally being made
It probably will. But hopefully that's because we'd be looking at an upgrade that is better than either of AWB and Dalot. So selling AWB would help fund some of that upgrade and we should then have a stronger RB department. Just depends how much we get for him and how much we'd have to pay for the upgrade - and how good a choice we make as the replacement.He's not great but also not bad. I think he can develop his technical side and be a decent backup. I would look at LB first and we have so many other glaring needs. Unless we are broke and someone is making a great offer I wouldn't do this. Its going to cost more to replace him.
So if we manage to sell AwB should be expect "Selling AwB was a mistake" thread?AWB is like Fred. Had some good games, but
overall not good enough technically
We’ve already replaced him with Dalot. Now its about finding an upgrade on him who’s much better.He's not great but also not bad. I think he can develop his technical side and be a decent backup. I would look at LB first and we have so many other glaring needs. Unless we are broke and someone is making a great offer I wouldn't do this. Its going to cost more to replace him.
He's a player out of his time. If he was playing in the 70's or 80's I think he'd be considered one of the best around. Everyone played 4-4-2 and the full backs only real job was to go toe to toe against their winger and not let him get past. Few better at that than AWB, but unfortunately for him in today's game full backs have to be so much more.A shame such elite tackling was wasted on such a brainless and technically poor player. He'll never be good enough so good decision if this is true.
Couldn’t easily been from 2020.The fact that this thread is from 2022 says a lot about us.
Considering some on here still talk about selling Welbeck, I would say yes, yes we should absolutely expect that thread.So if we manage to sell AwB should be expect "Selling AwB was a mistake" thread?
Can see Glasner getting a lot out of him as an RCB in his back 3.12-15m from West Ham or Palace I’d imagine.
Isn't Dumfries basically the same player with a similar athletic ability and low technical skills?Romano has been reporting about a potential swap with Dumfries, which I'd be fine with. Getting him out is a priority for me.
I don't actually think it would be much of a problem to offload him, if we are not overly ambitious on the price. For £15m or so, I imagine there will be a few midtable clubs interested.I'm not sure who he'd interest.
He's the most clumsy of Footballers and offers next to nothing offensively.
Defensively he's isn't so great either.
