Riads knee

I disagree, without those injuries I think he would have made a strong team member. Sadly, I think he is now finished at this level which is sad for him and us. We will never know how good he might have become?

I just always felt very uncomfortable with him playing, not so much against the average at best opponents in the conference, but premier league level he just didn’t do it for me, but like you say, I doubt he’s going to be able to prove me wrong now

Augsburg will be delighted, as this won’t lower their asking price of Matsima….. 😡

Personally I go Bisseck and Le Guen. Come on Steve.

I think we need something akin to when we signed Cahill. An experienced defender who can lead on the pitch. He took ownership for organising that defence in a way we badly need now.

Not sure there is anyone around who fits the bill though.

We all marvelled at Mateta's sudden goalscoring from the barren years. But with Olise and Eze feeding him, he missed a lot more sitters than he scored. It is no surprise that the goals have dried up. He is stopping SL from a regular place in the team, which in my view a striker needs to gain confidence.

Shouldn't this be in a Mateta thread & not one about Riad?

Not really because we'll probably buy another winger.

A real shame for all concerned but Lerma can slot in for now.

Why would Lerma slot in when we now have Tomiyasu and Disasi.

If Disasi is ready he will slot into the middle and Richards can go into his preferred position. If they prefer Tomiyasu then it’s a like for like replacement and to be honest, when he came on he looked better than Riad.

If we go to 4 at the back we won’t need anyone else!

Do you think we’ll do that though and if so why given Sage history?
