He's played well and carried out his job well. I remember Kamara making a similar mistake and costing us a game, yet nobody is calling him shit. Luiz also made the same mistake. so yeah, only seems Donk is held to account for it. tbh, Donk, Luiz and kamara all made the same type of mistake, Kamara made it twice but was only punished once, none of them should be considered s*** by fans for making a mistake like that, unless they continue doing it again and again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This Pubil link has the whiff of Moreno about it - pretty much unknown, out-of-nowhere link and from profile looks like a really good back up/alternative to Matty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be it Adams, Amrabat or someone else. Not really seen people saying get rid and don't replace. But that logic could be laid at anyone in the squad, why not sell Luiz and replace him with better? Dendoncker is a quality player to have as back up to Kamara, we will struggle to find a better player willing to be back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Donk is as backup, he’s not going to get better. let’s flip him for someone with potential. keeps FFP demons at bay and gives us a chance to improve the squad long term. That's nonsense flipping Donk would not help FFP one bit. From a FPP sense it would make more sense to flip Martinez, Luiz, Kamara, Ollie and especially McGinn all bought for a lot less than they are worth now.

thabucks Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) I don’t actively want us to sell Dendoncker btw - poor choice of words on my part… I meant if he’s looking as per reports to leave for regular first team football he will need replacing. His versatility along with Chambers is invaluable if they wanna stay and compete. Edited July 26, 2023 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away his free kicks and he’s utterly underwhelming… Vastly overrated? That’s JWP. He's got absolutely zero pace as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok we keep a player that’s not going to improve his ability or value. If we can get our money back, I rather that money invested in a player that could end up being better than Donk is now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Don't agree with the Donk slander. He hasn't really done much wrong. Nothing particularly notable and exclusive to him. We effectively need 1.5 to 2 first XIs for this season, playing in four competitions. Donk would be a good starter in the domestic cups, for instance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Levante only got relegated in the 2021-22 season, before relegation they had been in La Liga for 5 seasons in a row. I have no idea if this player is the best young full back in the world, but I'm sure Emery and Monchi would be aware, so will trust their judgement if links are true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Shame we are prohibited to sign then loan players to Vitória Guimarães as this kids looks like he could develop into a special player. Being linked to Milan so chances are he wouldn’t join anyhow… Edited July 26, 2023 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're that widely available - post them instead of apps then! Apps doesn't hold much weight at all unless the player is playing close to the full 90 every game.

Otherwise I think we would have given Young another year. I think that those (me included) hoping for a new back up gk are going to be disappointed.
