good news, pretty sure we arent going to be in the market for a centre back in this window with Toby, Dier, Tang and Sanchez all seem to be rated by Jose

Expect him to feature even more next season, especially as Mourinho has already stated he wants to use the Europa Cup to blood the younger players

We will buy another defender this season as Jose wants 5 center backs in his team. Tanganga will also be used as spare left back/right back role !!

Think his versatility will see him get plenty of game time, he can play in any slot in the back 4. Ultimately as one of the ‘tucked in’ FBs I think will be his best position, but we need to upgrade the FB on the opposite flank as it seems Jose doesn’t rate Sess to be that player from LB

Very happy with this. Given his height and pace, I’d still not be shocked to see him end up at RB.
I think thats where he gets most of his minutes next year. We're looking at Toby, Dier, Sanchez all ahead of him at CB and if we bring in another CB such a Min Jae, they wouldn't be able to play RB so that would leave us with 4 distinct CBs plus Tanganga.

Well earned. And yeah, us in the Europa should mean he get's a good amount of first team minutes next season. Hopefully White, Cirkin and Skipp as well.

People think of him as a tucked in right back, but his ability to control the ball at pace whole charging up the flank, plus a few very tasty deliveries, impressed me as much as his aggressive defending.
