I've said it loads, things change so quickly in football so until it's announced by the club i try to rain in my excitement
We have no left wingers when AFCON rolls around. Makes zero sense to not get one and not a chance Mundle will be back and ready to slot in
That's ages away, so Mundle could be back as a time frame hasn't been given yet - also Talbi hasn't been capped yet so he's not guaranteed to go Lauriente looked a decent enough player but theres plenty of others out there
How much of this did you watch? I've seen highlights and stats and the stats suggest he played 10 times on the left with just 2 assists. 35 times on the right with a couple of goals and 8 assists, including the breakout game against Atalanta. I'm not saying he can't play left wing, but you can't make that judgement based off 45 minutes, especially when he didn't even play in that position.
very good chance mundle will be back in september that will be nearly 3 months before the afcon starts gives him plenty time to get back up to full fitness with out being rushed back
Talbi declared to Morocco this year, I think he will be called up. Surgery on a hamstring to then be back, fit and firing in December. A big reach imo
I’ve made clear in my posts I’m only going off 45 mins so I appreciate the limitation. Just my impressions watching him he’s gonna end up as a left winger not a right one. In our system at least.
I think we need somebody who’s a right winger or striker who can cover left wing during AFCON but be an option everywhere else at other times.
This reeks of , Agent and further demands, written all over it.. good to see the Club being so professional.
Just going off what @Prehab26 has said here, even if it's at the high end of the recovery scale then he should be back. 22 weeks until AFCON starts
Will have been leaked by the club though. No way they’d make something like this up so has to be true
It's one of 2 things for me. 1) We've seen something in the medical that we don't like and tried to negotiate the price which has been rejected. 2) The news on Mundle is positive and we're expecting him back mid season, meaning we feel we can manage on that side until then. Like most, I expect we target a winger for the right side now rather than the left.
But you don't know either of those for sure. We can't just get extra players in just to cover a 5-6 game patch in the season. There is plenty of other wingers out there, the club might go for another LM but they mighy also see we need strength in other positions
