david-avfc Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Getting rid of Dendoncker wasn’t the problem, it was not replacing him which has left us in the shit. It was always clear he didn’t fit Emery’s system so we should have sorted it out properly in the summer rather than a botch job in January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically unusable at our or Napoli's level. I shudder to think we could have lost Doug and had Dendoncker replace him. Along with Coutinho.

Tim doesn't have that level of trust with the manager so from mid Feb we've effectively been two CMs down on first half of the season with Kamara's injury. It's asking a huge amount to win a trophy when you're effectively going in with a small squad in key area than for the opening months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he was really that happy to start him, he got rid of him after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also put him on after 67 minutes v Arsenal. Tim simply doesn't have that faith in him hence him continually warming the bench against similar opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I think we probably could have got 5m for him prior to this loan deal. It's been a disastrous one for his reputation. He'd have got more minutes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery obviously isn't a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
