Tariq Lamptey

[LasseD]

He’s quick, which is a good thing. We saw what difference Martinelli’s and ESR’s speed and intensity made in the match against Chelsea.

Unsure about his tecniqual ability though.

Still, having AMN, Bellerin, Cedric + Lamptey isn’t the right way to use resources. If one or two of AMN and Bellerin were to be sold I’d be slightly for signing him I suppose.

Quality player. Would be overjoyed if we got him.

Arsenal mania were creaming themselves over Aarons previously. Lamptey is far better.

 

[Rex Stone]

Who's the player with more upside, Bogle or him?

Lamptey.

The reason I was so keen on Bogle was from a squad building perspective. He matched Aarons’ numbers in the Championship but because he didn’t get promoted he went under the radar.

For cheaper than 5M that meant he was absolutely insane value but we went the Cedric route. In terms of squad building it was a poor move.

Comparing Lamptey to Bogle though Lamptey is clear. Honestly looks like Dani Alves sometimes with the way he plays.

 

[Jasard]

I can't even slightly imagine us doing this

Cedric is experienced fullback who can do good job on both sides. With AMN here it was the right choice.

From what I've seen, A-M isn't creaming itself over Lamptey to any lesser degree than it was over Aarons. He's mentioned as the prime RB target quite often.

 

[TornadoTed]

Lamptey looks electric with his pace but his size and the fact he looks better attacking than defending does put me off somewhat.

Nordi Mukiele at Leipzig is the right back I have my eye on, 6' 2", strong, fast and looks like he enjoys defending.

I'd love Lamptey here. Gives us an exciting player on the right, and a good different player type to Tierney on the left. Both young, so covering for many years.

If it's possible to swap out Bellerin - who I don't mind keeping either if there's no buyers, I'm not against Bellerin - and getting Lamptey in, then that's a no-brainer, really.

Perhaps that could also make our right side more relevant as 90% of our play happens on the left. Could make a big difference for guys like Pépé/Nelson or who else we might field on RW.

Yeah but Cedric has literal zero resale value and was a backup level player at Southampton.

Bogle would’ve been cheaper, was incredible in the Championship and could’ve actually competed with Bellerin for a starting role all at 19.

If you sell him in three years and he hasn’t developed he’s probably worth at least 10M. It’s dire squad building.

 

[<<reed>>]

Another Chelsea reject ffs

Not sure Pepe or Nelson will be at the club by next season tbh, can see the club trying to move them on.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Not the profile I want. I want a super athlete with no physical insecurities. Eg. Height.

At least he is not 54.

Why do you want a giraffe up and down the wing?

He'll clearly be signed as an attacking fullback/wingback.

How is a player you had for 3 years who hasn’t developed much going for 10 million? People really throw crazy numbers up. This guy is backup right back in shef United

 

[Rasmi]

No he is 5’5

 

[Rimaal]

Don't know him. I'll be sure to keep an eye on him tomorrow.

Apparently we expect Bellerin to move to Barca and Tareq is meant to replace him. So much is wrong with that sentence.

Because you see all these young English players getting their value maxed out in the market.

Kyle Walker-Peters played 12 league games in four years for Sp*rs and went for 12M. He’d done less than Bogle had.

He did more because he played for. Tottenham 20 odd times in total. He also went out on loan to Southampton so they had him before they decided to buy him later. Filling the team with average English players thinking we can always sell them is stupid
