What's new

Carney Chukwuemeka

RIP Mourinho said:
He was named as man of the match on his full FA Cup debut against Liverpool, first Premier League start against Everton and even his first Champions League start against Krasnodar, plus MOTM on his international debut. He'd drop a MOTM performance then not be played for a month, the fact Brighton wanted him is enough of a red flag that we shouldn't be selling him.

Billy's time in the senior team was a mixed bag. Along with the MOTMs, he had some stinkers, overrun, overpowered. Not necessarily his fault, a couple of times he was played as a sole DCM, not his forte, and he didn't cope. I still think he was worth persisting with. It was odd that Potter, having bought him, hardly started him. Now De Zerbi the same.

 
It'a shame some of our youngsters don't follow a similar route to James and Mount and get decent match time with an aspiring Championship club.

I reckon De Zerbi is just easing him in gently, and if they sell Caicedo in the summer he will be getting regular game time. He is still only 21.

 
Agreed, thought he was one of the better players taking the ball forward. Very lazy defensively though.

Yet people complained why ruben played over him. 

Like I said before, playing kids is fine but  you can't just play throw them into the mix without thinking about team structure. 

Some fans probably will want us to play murdyk as gk.

Ruben is obviously still the better player currently, i assume he'll be the RLC of the squad next season

The problem isn't who is better. You can try playing carney next to Enzo but how do you plan to stop opp in transition? 

Ruben isn't great defensively but at least he is better than carney.

Neither are suited to that role, we've needed a holding mid since Matic left. Hopefully we get that sorted in Summer.

 
Did well against Man Utd I thought. Assuming we move RLC on in the summer, he can take his place as a rotation option in CM.

 
This young lad looks promising. His ability to carry the ball from midfield looks impressive. 

Depending on incomings and ourgoings he is 50:50 a rotational player or should be loaned out.

I hope Carney is part of Pochettino's plans next season. It would really twist my sh*t if he let Carney leave and kept Conor.

Thansk for the imagery, but can't disagree with the sentiment.

To ship out this amount of players and not let these potential stars of the future not get a chance, would be ridiculous.

Potential has very little value nowadays, its all about delivery now. 22 is the new 28 apparently.

 
Rumoured to be going AC Milan on loan. Although he needs the experience i think he showed enough promise towards the end of last season to stay and fight for his place. Looking very thin in the middle of the park now.

Only the club knows if they have midfielders all but signed up to replace all the ones we have lost so far. I'm assuming they are competent and have 2 or 3 ready to go in which case keeping Carney at the club may not be the best idea, especially with no Europe games to force heavy rotation.

Assuming we sign Caicedo which looks to be in the pipeline that leaves us with Enzo and Caicedo as the only 2 CM's really good enough to start for us now. We're desperate for someone a bit older in the middle, if that happens i'd have Chuk as 4th choice. 

Enzo/Caicedo/New cm/Chukwuemeka.

Sell Gallagher.

Loan Santos/Casadei.
