And PanzoI saw this on twitter a couple of days back about Lati. Didn't realise he captained an England u17 team to a World Cup win back in 2017. Played alongside Marc Guehi at centre back...
NO. Just resting his eyesIs he dead?
I'm not so sure. If everyone's fit, I don't see how he gets on the bench, unless we are playing 3 at the back, then will need a back up CB.
1. GK - Wilson
2. Right back - KKH
3. CB - Wolfie
4. LB - Bidwell / Breu
5. CM - Eccles / Andrews
6. CM - Allen
7. ST - Simms
8. ST - BTA / EMC / Sakamoto - depending on who drops out for Rudoni.
He has no place in the team. At best he’s 4th choice CB. Now, we’re always gonna need a 4th choice but I’d be surprised if he’s happy with that role.Surely give him a chance, everyone’s improved under lampard, we said da silva wasn’t good enough ?
think We’ve learned enough this season about writing players off, he’ll be ok if we need himHe has no place in the team. At best he’s 4th choice CB. Now, we’re always gonna need a 4th choice but I’d be surprised if he’s happy with that role.
Starting tonight
And a RB down.Might be a coincidence but makes the squad now were a CB down…
Why would off loading Lats make our squad smaller? We cant sell him till January, and unless im mistaken we could buy someone else, so 1 out and 1 in leaves the squad numbers the same doesn't it?We'll need Lati before the season is through.
Brilliant pedigree and still fairly young. Also very aggressive which is an asset.
Another player written off. Hey lets make a small squad even smaller. People never learn.
He doesn’t seem the type that’s happy to not be involved, I think he’ll be gone in Jan, does leave us a bit light in defence especially if we are going to use a back 3 semi regularly.I'm sure if he was fit earlier in the season he'd have played in the cup games, but yeah 4th choice CBs rarely get much of a look in.
To be fair he is better than fourth choice (just not for us) so probably worth moving on so he can get some first team football, unless he's happy to sit on the bench.
He was on the bench for the Stoke game so must be fit?Why does he keep getting called up if he isn't fit?
You are making a rather big assumption that you can sell a player who is working his way back to fitness and we can sign someone who is better. Need a big fee and big wages to get a championship ready player who is versatile. Also new players often take a good while to settle (see Torp and Woolfie).Why would off loading Lats make our squad smaller?

Or have I got my maths wrong?
Or at least not far off. Just needs to build up some minutes. I'm happy for Jamaica to get him match fit for us.He was on the bench for the Stoke game so must be fit?
Don't write him off just yet - Can always fulfill that prone position just behind the defensive wall.Is he dead?
Move him on in Jaits
Assuming someone wants him or he wants to go .Move him on in Jan.
Why?Move him on in Jan.
I would like to keep him but I think he will want to leave. I’m sure @Jimmy87 has said he wanted to leave in the summer due to lack of game time. He doesn’t really seem to be part of the group at the moment.No chance we’re moving him on in Jan, maybe in summer if we go up. Not unless we do sign someone like Hughes and one of the current two goes to backup

Im confused by your response, you appear to be saying we are stuck with him, even if we want to off load him.You are making a rather big assumption that you can sell a player who is working his way back to fitness and we can sign someone who is better.

Lati has played a lot of minutes before this season and was part of our previous success. Rarely let us down.
January is notoriously difficult to secure the players you want, as prices are often inflated and loans are often already done for a year.
We have done really well in January recently, but that does not mean we will get who we want. Even in the Summer we missed targets with much longer to plan.
