Laird?I still think he has potential (he's still only 21 after all) but I could understand him being sold.
There's no point needlessly weakening ourselves though. Do we have a second choice RB we're happy with?
Is he ready to step up to being a regular in first team squad? That's a genuine question btw, I haven't seen enough of him to know.Laird?
He has 2 appearances at professional level so of course not. First he has to prove himself before we rely on him as a backup, like Williams did before letting go of Young.Is he ready to step up to being a regular in first team squad? That's a genuine question btw, I haven't seen enough of him to know.
And throwing darts at names not even in the same position, apparently. Imagine getting Dalot as you 2nd choice goalieHe'll go to PSG and probably be their sub goalie. I'm certain PSG's transfer strategy is just throwing darts at names.
So Dalot isn't also a maybe? If that figured is true then we better sell because he honestly isn't worth that amount right now. Laird and Williams who are 'maybes' like Dalot can play RBNope. He's very talented and not all full backs at that age are as consistent as AWB. Now if he doesn't improve over the next couple of seasons and Laird makes an impression then sure, but at this point we would be stupid to have only one RB and a "maybe" from the youth.
He has a lot more experience at the professional level, you know what i meant. Laird is not in the same category as Brandon either, the later has proven he can handle the pressure and as a result we let Young go.So Dalot isn't also a maybe?

That should be less of a concern when you compare him to Dalot who also isn’t ready to be a regular in our first team squad and is never fit to be in it anyway.Is he ready to step up to being a regular in first team squad? That's a genuine question btw, I haven't seen enough of him to know.
Brandon Williams can rotate into that slot. So we have a half. Laird is a prospect that can potentially but not today.I still think he has potential (he's still only 21 after all) but I could understand him being sold.

Experience or no experience he's as much as a maybe as Laird. It's not even because of his quality I think we should sell him. If the suggested price is true, we'd be stupid not to sellHe has a lot more experience at the professional level, you know what i meant. Laird is not in the same category as Brandon either, the later has proven he can handle the pressure and as a result we let Young go.
My memory is muddy but I think I would agree.Varela looked like a better player than him.
I think both players are similar in the sense that they are pretty poor defensively but in terms of output offensively, they seem more comfortable. I feel Varela genuinely was pretty technically solid. Think he had 2 assists in Rashford's premier league debut vs Arsenal.My memory is muddy but I think I would agree.
Good timesThanks for the memoriesy, adios amigo.
That one still upsets me. He was brilliant offensively, great dribbler and crosser. A little more patience in him and who knows what he’d have become. But alas, Coutinho skipped past him once and he was cast aside.Varela looked like a better player than him.
He was at the club for 4 years. He was definitely not brilliant offensively.That one still upsets me. He was brilliant offensively, great dribbler and crosser. A little more patience in him and who knows what he’d have become. But alas, Coutinho skipped past him once and he was cast aside.
He's just at the wrong club tbh. I can see him do well at a bigger/better club who are more ball dominant. The profile of managers we hire and our fanbase in general shit it whenever they see a full-back leave his half.Think we will regret it and some people saying yes will bash the club for selling him. Very talentwd player on the ball. There aren't many RBs that talented. When he's able to compliment that positionally, he'll be some player.
I don’t care about what he’s done since he left us. He came as an academy player, so this ‘he was here for 4 years’ is misleading. I said at the time that I didn’t want him to go, I’m far from a ‘rose tinted’ poster.He was at the club for 4 years. He was definitely not brilliant offensively.
You're talking about a player that has been a professional footballer for 10 years and has less than 100 appearances in club football. I swear rose tinted glasses and nostalgia is a hilarious thing.
