LAM09 7,056 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I don't see anything in Kennedy to select him over CHo, pulisic, Pedro, willian. pasalic as a back up to kante would be interesting. Mvg is done sadly. No way he cones back from this injury and remains a top level player.Age is on his side, so I prefer selling one of the oldies and giving him a go. Sadly, you might right when it comes to the latter. He scored a goal every other game before getting injured again too. Some players just don't have luck in that regard. Kenedy at Left back?Nope. I'd would use him as a back up winger against tiring teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is in our squad next season it will be an indication that our ambition to regain title challenger status is not going well.

I said nothing about how we will do next season. I simply implied that we have an ambition the regain title challenger status, and we do. That's just a statement of fact. We'll all be amazed if CFCM threaten to win the league next season, but we'll be dismayed if we don't at least take a step in the right direction. Including Kennedy in next season's squad will not help with that. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of the same opinion too. It's simply not about who we have out on loan or not. It's about having the best possible squad. Even with willian and Pedro on the wrong side of 30, those 2 will still be miles ahead of Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a plethora of players that fit that description and I'm not talking about promoting a youngster. Firstly, I would take any of our current squad members over Kennedy. Secondly, although I understand that your criteria excludes them, there are at least two development squad players I'd deploy on the wing ahead of Kennedy. Thirdly from the loan army, I'd turn to two sets of players ahead of Kennedy. The first group includes wingers and attacking players who can play wide. The second group consists of fullbacks whose attacking attributes I prefer to Kennedy's. Putting that into a single list, l would go with any of;Â Baker, Dasilva, Kylian Hazard, Mount, Musonda, Palmer, Piazon, and Sterling. To be clear, I'm saying I would expect a better contribution from any of those players in a wide attacking role than I would from Kennedy. For good measure, I would also give a squad place to Victor Moses in preference to Kennedy. The Brazilian just isn't a player I like. robsblubot and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brazilian just isn't a player I like.I think it's just a personal thing, then.Going as far to mention Piazon (played 3 in 14 for Chievo) & Kylian ahead of him says enough.Lets just hope the ban puts this sort of discussion to bed.

Kenedy is shit, and yes bring back Moses, if the bans are not deferred is a viable option. Mario Pašalić is having a great year at Atalanta (7 goals, 7 assists in only half a seasons minutes), surely we must finally ditch Drinkwater and give Pasa a shot in MF, I think he can help a lot. Baba I am torn on, he has looked really good in France, and I HATE Alonso, plus obviously Emerson is the starter now I would not lose my mind if we cashed in on Alonso and just rolled with Emerson and Jay Dasilva (that will never happen)  the loan army I rate long term (not saying all or even many will end up long term starters for us other than a couple)  Ola Aina (but Torino have said they will buy him on his option Reece James (obviously, and curse all hades that he is not a LB!!!) Jake Clarke-Salter Jay Dasilva (I just worry a tad about his size, he is so so short) Dujon Sterling Trevoh Chalobah Fikayo Tomori Mason Mount  and the ones we may have to recall due to the bans (then sell them after the bans, unless they really come good, which I doubt they do) Mario Pašalić (certainly worth a shot to replace Drinkwater) Happy (not a good fit though, but with Rudiger injured probably into next season, may have to do it) Bakayoko (eeek, huge roll of dice if we do not sell him to AC Milan) Tammy Bats (maybe, eeek) Moses (eeek)  Marco van Ginkel needs to be sold to PSV if he is healthy enough Baker, Palmer, and Brown are never going to be good enough the rest not on this list need to be flushed (and many on here eventually as well)    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
