That's your opinion though, he couldn't get into a Birmingham side that got relegated and he couldn't get into ours that finished 21st on goal difference.

If he's blatantly good enough for the Championship, why can't he get a game for poor Championship sides?

He played 28 games for us last season and 28 games for Brum the season before.

Again, you’re talking out of your arse.
 
If he's not good enough for the Championship, why do other Championship teams want him?

If we were to loan him, I'd rather he get guaranteed games than be in and out of the side. He struggled for gametime the last 2 years.

How many minutes? And why did Birmingham drop him then?

Why the **** would we loan him out when he’s our only fit right-back?

He outperformed Coyle last season in most metrics anyway. Better defensively, better dribbler in possession and better passing.
 
Because Lewie just finds a way to get into the team. We had Josh Emmanuel playing out of his skin, and he lost his place and then we brought in Christie with a big reputation and he lost his place too. It's just who he is and managers pick him again and again. It feels like once he gets the shirt, he doesn't lose it.



I wouldn't be surprised to see Coyle available for the Cov game.

I do feel like Drameh needs a year in L1 though playing every week.
Christie lost his place when he needed surgery on his knee. Then he wasn’t the same player anymore

Right so now you're talking bollocks. He only made 5 starts at RB last season, 3 of which were in games where Lewie wasn't available.

Of the 2 games he started where Lewie was available and Cody was chosen ahead of him, one was right after the 3 0 away victory at Sheffield United but he was hauled off after 56 minutes for Lewie in the home defeat to Stoke.

We had 3 managers last season, yet it was only 2 occasions out of 46 were Cody was picked ahead of Lewie, and one of those he was hauled off before an hour. And Coyle isn't very good either, according to many on here...

Given our financial position, I would definitely take £750k for a player who I don't think will play very often this year. Unless he can make the left back position his own as I think that's where he'll have the most opportunity for minutes (just like last year).

He played 120 minutes of Luton’s play off final win.

After joining in jan he played 16/16 games available for

Maybe if we switch to a back 3 he'll get back to his previous levels. But it's a bit like Giles, there's a lot of hoping, but we've not really seen any signs of it likely to come good. Cody looked good in pre-season games against the Turkish sides, but McCarthy looked like a reincarnation of Busquets so it's difficult to know how much to take from those games.

Drameh’s last proper appearance for us was the 3-0 drubbing of the blades in his actual position. Then he was cast away to nothing again. Handled horribly due to how we handled the left back situation

£750K <laugh>

You’re as ****ing deluded as Acun.

Absolutely spot on. Drameh was one of those who got dropped the second he had a below 8/10 game.

Coyle however dropped stinker after stinker for ages and never got dropped due to being captain I suspect.
 
I'd also give him the benefit of the doubt because we saw most of him under Walter's mental tactics and he was playing left back. Under Selles he only started 5 games at right back.
He played in the 3 nil mauling of the blades and a couple of other wins away from home, then was ridiculously dropped.
 
For me, overall he (Drameh) has been poor since he came. He has had a few games where he was exceptional, but is generally prone to errors. Honestly, I aren’t sure I’ve noticed a City player (non attacker, who you expect to be less consistent) reach such extremes.
Coyle is generally a 7.5 /10 most games. There was a period early last season where he was repeatedly in the Championship team of the week. I suspect that may have been under Walt, which makes it even more remarkable.
