We definitely haven't seen the best of Adingra, I'm just basing it on attributes. Adingra has sneakily created a few good chances in his limited time here.

Wouldn't look at a single player in the championship if I'm honest unless there's some under 20 worldy prospect. Fatawa maybe but I'm not 100% convinced

Adingra did well on Sat.
I honestly think we’ll coach the off the ball effort into him.
Probably right tbf.
I could see Coventry following our lead, their PSR position must be pretty strong. It's just whether they can buy as well as we have, we had a ridiculously good window.

I think he will come into his own in an attack dominated team. Against the “lesser” sides, when defence is less essential, I think he’ll be fantastic.
So far we’ve been very conservative and certainly not a team built for his qualities. Likewise I hope we see more from him, because than means we’re more on the front foot.
I wouldn’t take him. Not convinced he has the defensive work rate than we need.
Any winger coming into this side has to accept his number 1 job is helping out the full back.

Mundle played 20 games max and never in prem I’d take Clarke over both
Disagree with that. When Adingra picked up the ball and started running at their full back you could see them backpedaling towards their penalty area, and you could see them doubling up.
I loved him while he was here, but literally no PL fullback worth their salt would be afraid of Jack Clarke. Mags left an aging Trippier to deal with him. I would be more than happy leaving Nordi 1 v 1 with him without needing to double up…

Well said
This shite about hankering after ex players who did well for us some time ago has to stop
I'm hoping the surgery sorts Mundle out for good, but if it doesn't then aye fair enough. I think Mundle has more strings to his bow, he's far more likely to go outside his man, but he can cut in and finish like Clarke. He is also much better defensively.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but Clarke tore Fulham a new one in the FA cup.
Patrick Roberts was also fantastic that day.

Trippier had him in his pocket .

Sorry. A few drinks. Thought it read Jeff Clarke. So it is Jack ( not grocer Jack from the mid-sixties) Clarke. Was the right player at the right time. Cannot criticise the lad. But now ?
Sadly, yes.

I like Jack and he can be a game changer in the championship
Its a no from me
Its a no from me
He’s had quite a few ineffectual games since then though!
I genuinely think he is worse than all of our wingers (including Mundle). Great championship player but doesn’t have enough defining attributes to be successful at this level.
