I’m glad we have ambitious players pushing to start football matches. In the case of Lati, he’s not as strong a defender at CB as Thomas or Kitching. Frankly, we need to upgrade on one of those CBs in any case.

Lati is a defender suited to 3 CB formations, he’s not defensively strong enough to be a CB in a 2 CB formation nor is he quick enough to be an out and out RB. As you’ve mentioned before, his knack for diving in front of players to win free kicks makes me nervous. Being uber harsh, I think he does it to paper over the fact he’s just not that great a CB and officials help out poor defenders too often because they can flop over and win a FK.

It was only a 10 or so minutes, against Luton I’m sure Sakamoto was almost playing as a WB out of possession and the ‘back 4’ looked more like a 5 before the red card.

Completely agree, nothing wrong with him as a person, you'd want all your players banging on the door wanting to play wouldn't you.
He's a good versatile player at this level, if he wanted to play somewhere where he will get more minutes i'm sure there would be plenty of takers.
Who knows whether he will push for a move, but either way we do need to improve the defence if we want to make sure we are up at the top throughout the season.

Just started following MVE on socials. Not sure if that means anything as my daughter told me, but they wouldn't have played here together, so with Binks going and 2+2=5 .... maybe??

That'll be MVE joining Man City then, ffs at least we've got his replacement sorted.

Still a big if I know until announced, but IF we did get him and could add a quality CF, what a great window we'd have had.

Déjà Vu, there was rumbling that we wanted him last summer got my hopes up then and trying not to get too excited. I think he'd be perfect for us, just about the top level of player we could hope for

Feel like this would have been picked up by someone if it was close to being done. Transfers from the Premier League don't tend to happen without a journalist being briefed first these days.

Would be a great signing. And instantly our best CB despite his relatively young age.

However I would worry about his pace, or more so acceleration. Can be mitigated by players around him.

And I’d hope FL will have picked up a few tips from playing with one of the best, yet slowest, CB’s of recent years.

Playing devils advocate, why is he coming back to the championship for a 4th loan if he is that good?

Because he is 21 and not as good as Gvardiol, Dias, Stones, Ake, Akanji etc

Yeah but look at the like of Colwill and Guehi. 1 good year in the championship then both premier league regulars the next season. Doyle hasn’t really progressed much since he was here before.

For what it’s worth I would take him on a loan with an option/ obligation to buy upon promotion but I wouldn’t be dropping £10m on him

Id say the standards are significantly higher than Man City than the madhouse that is Chelsea.

For anyone questioning it, give your head a wobble. His stats last season were just about top in every defensive attribute. I'm not saying it's definitely on, but if youre asking if he's worth it, I wonder what you're expectations are.

They probably prefer Bauer as he has experience on his side.

You'll be happy then when we sign Bauer if Doyle isn't good enough.
