Ellis Rimmer Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 We need a good right back Almen Abdi played right back at Watford last season Bang him in a right back rather than have a 4m player sat on the bench Neg for disagree plus for agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Wasn't he more of a wing back with a back three. Also didn't he hate playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, I just read he played full back most of the season. He hated playing there but surely he hates sitting on the bench more? a good run of games at full back might help him settle in better than he has done, then in January if we signed a good RB he could get a place in midfield.

Beholder Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Not the worst idea I've heard but I doubt Abdi would be too willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money is spent, the wage budget is set (for this half of the season anyway) so the only reason to pick players is to win matches not because they cost a lot or earn a lot. That money is gone either way and nothing is gained by playing them unless they are the best for the job (in the manager's opinion). If he can do a better job than Palmer or Hunt then fair enough. Reach struggled a bit being played at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 He's got little pace I doubt it is a good idea. Just can't see how he fits into the side ATM. Sat is crying out for Fletch, FF, Bannan, Lee, Buckley as our attacking 5 with Jones behind and Reach at LB as Pudil will get injured and break down at 3 in a week.

soldierboyblue Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This is like saying we bought Adam Reach to play left back, albeit in an emergency we can. The person I would like to see there is Kieran Lee, he has the best engine in the team so getting the support out wide that CC likes from his full backs would never be a problem and he's a very good defender.

Reach struggled a bit being played at full back. The point is although 'he doesn't like fullback' if he is a better fullback than the two we have (not unlikely) then he should be playing there rather than be on the bench-especially considering how much he costs Edited October 20, 2016 by Ellis Rimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your point not sure Carlos will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I don't see any reason why Lee should be moved from central midfield. He's one of the best midfielders in the league and we should build our team around him. Palmer deserves a run at right back and a settled back four would be nice.

WC1Owl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Lee's keeping him out of the team in his preferred central midfield role, I think that's all there is to it? With any other player I'd say he'll get his chance, but with Lee being such a machine, who knows when that will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I thinks its more likely he will be gone in January - its clearly not working for him here. We don't play to his skills and its clear CC won't use him in his preferred position, which IMO is why he is struggling. Unless we change to accommodate him properly there is little sense him staying here...a pity as the £4M could have been used more constructively. Watford built a side around him and got promoted, however I don't think CC will do that here. He clearly has talent but it is not the right type to add to this team and the way we play. A move away would probably be best for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when we do get a right back who can both attack and defend. Only then will we see just how poor Hunt and Palmer really were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
