Thats pure speculation though. What I do know is, that it's extremely hard to displace any first teamer in our side.
It's also speculation to say he hasn't played, through no fault of his own.

Well if you have some facts to post that he's been at fault then go ahead and post them, otherwise innocent until proven guilty.It's also speculation to say he hasn't played, through no fault of his own.

He is critiquing himself which is good but we don't know what Poch thinks. I can only go by what I see. We were a team challenging for the title, we came second and we have 3 players who scored 20 goals. Very, very difficult to get game time under those circumstances.I get the feeling from the article that he wasn't working hard, wasn't putting enough effort into closing down ("I had it easy", or whatever the quote was), and that the advice from Dembele (then the other players) came later.
Poch says he wants these types of players yet he doesnt use them. Will he actually use Lemar? Who knows but there is good reason to doubt it.Lemar's CV is only impressive because he's been given the one thing GKN hasn't, an opportunity to play and show his worth.
If we look at both Lemar and GKN's respective 15/16 season we can see that the have similar numbers.
Lemar
Total 15/16 SEASON:34 APPS - 5 GOALS -5 ASSISTS- 1YC--2.191' TOTAL MINUTES

Whose place does Lemar take if we do sign him? Would he be content being a sub? Can we afford to have 40+ mill sub?
We have GKN and he's shown some glimpses of talent and directness. He just needs Poch to give him a chance to show why we invested in him in the first place.
If GKN was good enough, he would have played. Poch has never been shy to give young players game time. GKN has not played because he has not shown enough in training etc to earn more minutes. That is all there is to it.
Lemar isn't the same type of player as GKN, in fact he is probably more comparable to Eriksen, though still very different to him too.Poch says he wants these types of players yet he doesnt use them. Will he actually use Lemar? Who knows but there is good reason to doubt it.
How do you know this?
