Adingra on loan to Monaco confirmed

I feel for le fee.. his energy in the middle is massive for us. Bear in mind he’s also our only threat in the centre of the park. I’m hoping Diarra will become that but still.. we need some proper wingers.

I agree.i prefer LeFee in the middle, especially lately. We really need to be bringing someone in ready to start out wide but just can’t see it.

traore is already injured and ta bi will be getting very little game time.. so we only have Talbi as a decent option. Throwing Hume into the mix is desperate considering we’re already massively lacking in the wing areas.
Mundle isn’t good enough as we’ve seen for the last few weeks

Fully concur. At his current stage of development Mundle offers nothing at this level, and last week should have been the final time anyone considers using Hume as anything other than a defender.

Certainly wouldn't be ideal, but we've got Talbi and Mundle in the squad - and there's a question over fitting in ELF once Traore comes back. For 15 games we could live with it IF the Adingra deal is favourable and not one we'll see in the summer.

I think we're in a position now to take advantage of some situations that we wouldn't be able to, if we were still in the relegation fight.

January is a good time to sell, but a bad time to purchase. We won't get the same value for a player like Adingra in the summer as we potentially might in January. Equally, if it's a loan and means we can shift him out to get a preferred option in now, that sounds good too.

There also might be a couple of scenarios whereby we have some short term pain now for long term gain in the summer.

The club have earned the right to be able to make these decisions so if we have to suck up finishing a couple of places lower in the table this season to put ourselves in an overall better, longer-term position in the summer, that should be accepted by everyone IMO.
 
Think ultimately we are basically safe, the club doubt Adingra has a future here and he isn't in the plans to be used much. Seems like they'd rather save a few quid and hope that Monaco buy him.

They clearly aren't going to push signings through until the summer.

I doubt if Le Bris will have a problem fitting our most creative player Enzo into the team, he'll be second name on the team sheet after Roefs.

I don't think he's really had a fair crack, but it seems we value wingers for their defensive work ahead of anything else and Adingra is never going to be that player, so probably better to cut our losses quickly.

Does make you wonder why we signed him though when his style of play clearly does not fit into our way of playing.

I think its his attacking contribution that's the problem. Hes in the bottom 30% for most attacking metrics for premier league wingers, yet he's in the top 30% for most defensive actions.
