I still maintain Pembele is top class potential. A 13 month loan may be just the job.
Bigger concern for me is it leaves us unable to move Hume into CB unless we bring in another full back. Hume into CB remains a really strong option IMO.
maybe that was the reason for the link with Perry Ng, move Hume inside to play alongside Ballard, O9 as a CDM (he insisted as midfielder by the club on the website)
Ng wouldn’t come here to be back up, he’s too good for that…..or maybe the Ng link was just speculation
