2021/22 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[GoldenToffee]

If he plays tonight, hopefully he manager sees him as third choice central midfielder and it makes him try to offload Davies and Delph before the deadline, either sold or on loan with an obligation to buy in Davies' case.

Why would the exit door be a logical answer? Struggling to find the logic in that one...
I think if he's fit and available to play tonight (given Covid guidelines and fitness), then Benitez will definitely start him. He obviously liked the look of him in the US pre-season

I think what he means is if he is fit and ready but is not given a game then Benitez may not rate him, therefore exit door beckons.

 

[degsy]

So, like, is he any good?

We may have an idea after he plays tonight...If he plays...If he stays fit - I hope so for his sake, he's had a hard couple of years

Second choice.

I don't understand all this negativity, he played every game preseason and looked stronger in each game he played in, the only reason I think he hasn't featured so far this season is because he has been isolating..

I think he looks a great player, every time I have watched him play, he has had an impact...genuinely expecting great things from him.

 

[windymiller]

Benitez will say he's still in isolation!

 

[Big Sams Undies]

People still hoping he gets injured just to say I told you so to the club then?

Not really no.

Just a bit of dark humour about the amount of time that the man has missed through injury.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I mean on the plus side the dude has never been injured during an actual match, has he?

You've only gone said it.

 

[Terrarian]

Hopefully starts tonight and gets some match fitness under his belt.

Not sure why people think throwing him into a cup game away against lower league opposition is a good idea - They'll have the sniff of a giant killing in their nostrils and will probably launch all of our players into the air

Better to play him in the Premier League where physical contact is basically banned

They're a championship club not long out of the Prem, it's a perfect opportunity. You do a disservice to the quality of the championship.

Oh don't you worry - I realise the quality of the Championship

My worry is probably more along the lines of a referee allowing a little bit more than usual

Got to have contact at some point though, he's had a full pre season and come through them games ok. I say let him loose.

 

[Baxtinho]

I maintain that he doesn't exist.

It's some kind of elaborate tax scam like Harry Redknapp's dog
