I cant see him getting enough game time , He came to us for games, and I cant see him getting them, they say he turned down Inter Milan to come to us.. I can see him throwing the toys out the pram with all the new signings, and he will feel disrespect and unvalued.. Uncle Steve has a job on keeping everyone happy
No. We have to remember that we have 2 cups to play in. The big squad is there to compete in all three competitions rather then accept defeat early on with a weakened squad. We are were fortunate with FA cup last year and the weak sides we played. Ince can star ine on of these competitions and force his way into the premier league team, as I doubt he will be first choice now....hasn't done enough to convince he is ready against the big boys. His chances of playing at Inter would have been much worse. Up to him. If he plays well enough he gets more game time. At least now we have quality options all around the squad. I'd be more interested in the fate of Aluko then Ince....
If we change formation to use out and out wingers (i think we will) then he'll get enough game time rotated on the right with elmo/ben arfa. At 352 he'll hardly get anything
What is it with people thinking that players will be allowed to leave ? A good coc run is essential mind.
Agreed ^^^^^ this. The added quality is just what Aluko needs. Aluko needs to get back his Lokeren away form.
that's what I was thinking with the 3-5-2..he is not gonna get anything He has not come here to be a squad player, he came here to be one of the first names on the Team sheet
To be fair I still expect ince to feature quite a lot , it's been harsh on him so far being used as a forward and been left to feed of scraps , with better players and more room to play in I think young mr ince could flourish in this team .
He would and will be a first teamer if he earns it. Nobody is a guaranteed start especially if they don't perform. Bruce will want to do well in both cups and we have the squads to do well in both. Fair enough we may get beat against West Brom but they do not have the quality in depth we have and if they field their second string team against ours I would expect us to win. Also. Players can still get injured. Ramierez and Ben Arfa aren't guaranteed to perform. We need strength from the bench. Two of them are loanees and have to return. This could be a good breaking in year for Ince and next year he could be as good as our current loanees.
I don't think he would of played much at Inter, and especially if he kept calling the bitter rivals AC , he would of been asked daily " Who is AC "
The summer window has just closed, it's a bit early to be worrying about who will go in the next one, we haven't got any idea yet, anything could happen.
True, I was just throwing the idea out there, and thinking some players nose's might have been put out of joint with the latest signing
No but then again Steve can play loads of different formations as we have the squad to do that. I know that is probably Greek to you looking at Lesters squad but hey-ho.
