Made In Aston Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 4 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: He's unfortunate in a way - he's flexible enough to play in two or three positions - unfortunately they're all the positions that we have three or four really good players in. I can't see how he makes matchday squads at the moment - he's not second choice in any of the positions he plays. Pointless signing then. We might as well loan him out and hope he does well there.

If we're thinking that, a loan would definitely be a good idea; he needs to develop as a left back to replace those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Iling-Jr might be the long term replacement for Ramsey so one of those transfers where we give him a year to bed in and hopefully see some good performances later on in the season when injuries hit. Don't see him going out on loan at all as still think Moreno will leave before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If we can shift one of the left backs I think he’ll stay. He can play different positions. Otherwise if all 3 stayed, he might leave for a loan and Moreno integrated to LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Interested to see what the plan is with him. He's no mug, and we got him on the cheap. He's in the U21 team with the likes of Ramsey, Rogers, Madueke, Bynoe-Gittens and Philogene. The pedigree is there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just starting the season, the players like Iling Junior and Barrenechea will be needed come 2nd half of the season when injuries and suspensions mount.

I don't see him going abroad and he's too good for the Championship. I'm sure he sticks around to fight for game time like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 27 appearances for Juventus last season and he can't make the match day squad at Villa now, shows how far we have come. He will get his chance, he'll be 3rd choice in 2 or 3 positions but will be needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
