He should definitely be in the side next year rotating with AWB.
Forget buying Trippier, give this kid a try.
To be honest - I was thinking about Ole's thought behind Trippier and Wan Bissaka and I was wondering;
Maybe the fact he bought Wan Bissaka (a relatively defensive RB) and then tried to buy quite an old experienced RWB in Trippier is possibly because he rates Laird as our future attacking RWB.
However, if he gave all that time to Brandon Williams before then maybe he should have given all this time time to Laird too?
I've not really seen Laird - but if he's good as people say he is, hopefully he is back next season and whoever our manager is uses him.
Considering so many, and I mean so many clubs have some sort of young good quality English RB - I don't find it surprising that Laird could potentially be one too.
