Strikes me he is quite an ambitious lad. After all there was some talk of him wanting to leave 12 months ago. He himself might prefer to go elsewhere where he can establish himself as no.1 in his position for at least 12 months.
Exactly, everyone keeps saying he's a great back up RB as if he'd be ok with that. If he stays we wants to start, fair play to him.
So assuming we sign Tomiyasu and sell Aurier the question is which of these is stronger
Tomiyasu Dier Romero Reggie
Tanganga Dier Romero Reggie
Tanganga Tomiyasu Romero Reggie
Tomiyasu Sanchez Romero Reggie
Tanganga Sanchez Romero Reggie
Honestly, I'd like us to sign a new RB but if we do play lop sided with a defensive RB then I'm not sure who I'd prefer to Tanganga that is remotely realistic.
The thing is if he's a backup how is he going to develop?
I like him defensively as a FB but he lacks the attacking threat which makes us too easy to shutdown as a team.
With the lack of full stops, Just reading that has left me as knackered as NDombele after being told to warm up.
Having two full backs that bomb forward together can leave you exposed if you don't have cover in midfield - but with two good ball winners in Hojbjerg and Skipp together we should have that cover. But without signing a proper playmaker in the Eriksen / Van der Vaart mould then we're really not in a position to compromise on attacking ability from the flanks by playing a defensive minded full back.
Good as his performance was yesterday - he is not a Robertson / Alexander-Arnold type attacking full back that I'd want on both sides. Ideally he'd be a part of a three man defence with a wing back (Lucas) ahead of him on the flanks. Funnily enough - I wonder if he'd also be able to do a job as a DM - remember what a season in midfield did for Ledley's reading of the game and ball playing ability....
We do have a couple of playmakers though not yet in calibre yet..1 has injuries issue. 1 has fitness issuesHaving two full backs that bomb forward together can leave you exposed if you don't have cover in midfield - but with two good ball winners in Hojbjerg and Skipp together we should have that cover.

Think he’s massively overrated personally
