The 2 goals he has scored seen in Youtube clips is from left back side. Is he really just a RB target ?

The Walker / Naughton signings are a good template, as I've seen others mention.

Signed summer 2009, when we Corluka an Hutton. Hutton went out on loan the following January. Walker didn't break through until 2011.

IF we're able to get this kid, it would be on a loan back - though I think there's every chance Norwich will roll the dice on promotion and keep him.

Next summer we'll likely sell one of Trippier or Aurier, or KWP will go on loan - probably the former - and Aarons would take the Foyth development role for 6-12 months.

Trippier will be 30 in 18 months, and Levy will want to move him on if he's not an automatic starter.

It's just good squad planning given we're not able to drop £50m on a RB to improve us.

It shouldn't really effect the budget for a CM, as the payments will be spread - and off set against selling a RB next window.

Norwich playing Birmingham on Sky tonight if anyone wants a look.

Jamal Lewis on the other side hugely impressive, he’s looked great for Northern Ireland too.

That's a long hangover then, when you consider he gets rested plenty.

I don't think his general play is poor, just keeps making stupid mistakes. Hopefully Poch can fix him, there's something not right since the start of the season.

I think we need to get a double deal going for both their fullbacks don't we? Huge potential.

Our style of play requires quick full backs, I’d therefore sell both Davies and Trippier, leaving us with Aurier, KW-Peters, Rose, and hopefully Aarons. This way we would have 2 experienced full backs and 2 energetic youthful players. Both Aurier and KW-Peters are competent left back cover. 4 players whom suit our style of play.

Personally think our game suffers massively when we don't have a dedicated left back playing. Aurier and Walker-Peters can do a job there but given Rose's injury problems, I wouldn't want either as second choice. I do agree though that we look better with pace in the full back positions.

I think our game suffered massively when we lost Walker and Rose marauding down both sides, pushing the opposition back and almost playing like wingers. That combination, at its peak, must have been one of the best in the world. It gave us width and pace, and made space for others.

Ever since Walker was sold and Rose's injuries began, I feel we've been playing with one hand tied behind our back. Neither Trippier nor Davies suits our style of play. They can't get up and down quickly, which is why Trippier keeps getting caught out. Davies adds nothing going forward.

KWP is inexperienced but quick and creative. Any RB who has three assists in one of his very few PL starts deserves better.

"3 assists" is becoming a bit of a mantra. ONE was a great piece of play.

Nobody thinking of this kid in relation to A&C Mad Max cryptic in the ITK thread, or everyone just thinking of random Argentinians? This makes more sense...
