You need pace, skill and physicality in the Prem. To be fair they have been a couple of strange injuries.
Definitely not writing him off but he hasn’t played for best part of two years. Asking a lot to step up to premier league level without proper competitive games.
Without meaning to jinx him, Hume just doesn’t miss matches with injury. I’d back him to play all 38 minus suspensions. Add in any time we can get out of Huggins and then O’Nien and I’d be comfortable enough going into the season. Other players could cover the odd game too. Right backs are generally the ones that are easiest to find a square peg for. If we go and get Singo too, we’ve got yet another option.
Amazes me how rattled Leeds fans are over this Diarra transfer, we’ve over paid He’s not worth it We’ve blown out budget etc
He looked a good one but I do wonder if this was opportunity dependent rather than a desperate need. If we can find a great option at the right age and right price then all good. If not then we go with what we have.
We’ll see. It’s clearly us or Neom as it stands and we can’t win them all but Neom have been bidding left right and centre for keepers. if he goes there we’ve made a decision not to go for crazy wages and that’s wise. We’ll have other options.
