WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Would have been a nice warm bath of a match for him to ease into...considering how welcoming we have been as of late. But seems sadly (sad/not sad) no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If there is one guy I would bank on to maintain a high level of fitness, it is Richie. Unless he has been hitting Arby’s pretty heavily, he is in my squad. narduch, NVsoccer, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rydermike Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I guess that mixup was due to Hudson-Odoi now wearing Laryea's old #14. Does Laryea even have a kit number at Nottingham now? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know which players he's training with and if you're not at least competing against first teamers regularly in training, you don't get the same level.of tempo in your play. Obviously there are exceptions and maybe he is one of them. Also, who do you select ahead of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see any possibility of Laryea not being called given the current state of our other fullbacks/wingbacks. Johnson has a broken(?) jaw. We hope he will be available, but there will be questions about fitness. Adekugbe is still hurt. Ahmed is still recovering from surgery. Hoilett and Raposo are basically still in preseason, ZBG is unattached.

BearcatSA Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, footballfreak said: Yep. I was just agreeing with you. Sorry for my misunderstanding. I really like Laryea's presence in a squad, even if he is not up to full speed at club level. He adds versatility on either flank as a wingback or fullback, and his craftiness can lead to fouls in key areas, including penalties. He's also a great sh*t disturber, and that dark quality should never been underestimated. But you do have to factor in the negatives that come with not playing regular club football. But like you asked originally, who's ahead of him? None of the names you mentioned are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you asked originally, who's ahead of him? None of the names you mentioned are. He doesn't actually have to play. We have alternatives at RB, beginning with Tajon. He has the defensive discipline and greater prowess in attack. And a couple year's experience in the position. If someone says Tajon should be in the attack, well great, we can play with 4-5 attackers and to hell with defending. Because I am pretty sure we'll have Larin, David and Davies set up for attacking mode. Let's add Tajon too, forget the defense, forget the midfield. I appreciate we have a few pieces injured, Adekugbe is not quite ready, Johnston has his jaw issue, I think too that Laryea will be called in. He may start but I am not sure he has to.

Hoilett and Raposo are basically still in preseason, ZBG is unattached. Godinho is a fit depth option. Even if Johnston is out I think we’ll be fine with Buchanan, Laryea and Godinho in the squad LDF is another RB option. We don’t need to worry about this position.

I was just suggesting that if we play all the pieces we have who are effective going forward, we'd be without a defense. Which imo is one reason he could be left off. Apart from not having played a competitive game in 3 months. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I posted in the other MNT manager thread, this XI needs some balance in the side and someone with the balls to make the moves to do it.

InglewoodJack Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Through all this though, I'm surprised that Laryea physically went over to England- I would figure that if Forest had zero intentions with him, all of this transfer business could've been done remotely and have him fly from Canada to where he heads next. Not that I think Forest have any plans to play him at all this season, but given most transfer windows are closed and MLS is realistically still his likeliest landing spot, I wonder what the plan with having him over there even is.
