Nacho Monreal

That’s the Nacho I like. Looked atrocious during pre-season. Hopefully Emery doesn’t swerve us one of these days and puts Kola at LB while Tierney is away.

Every time I seem to think he’s probably not worth a squad number anymore he seems to always deliver a sound appearance.

Still got room for you here Nacho!

Against the Burnleys and Newcastle’s, sure.

That’s who the squad members are usually supposed to play anyway

Absolutely pointless selling him now.

No smoke without a fire. The club probably thinks that they could do a job with Tierney and Kola.
Seems to me like they’re open to sell most of our players given the right fee comes in. Probably the case with Kos too but he wanted to go on a free.

Given he only has a year left and is unlikely to be extended again it feels like we should just keep him around. I’d rather have a player like him capable of filling a couple of roles and not needing him than the other way around.

I wonder what they’ve got planned to be so open selling all these guys.
The fuck are they gonna bring in? Prime Beckenbauer?

Everyone happy about selling them apart from you why am I not surprised haha

So far it seems the plan is to get better players. I’m in favour.

I’d rather sell Kolasinac

I’m happy to sell both but obviously not now when Tierney is injured lol

Which other fullbacks have we got other than AMN and Kola? I’ve got no problem selling Monreal, just curious about who Kola’s back up would be. Genuine question – I’ve not been following the youth team that closely recently, any decent ones coming through?

Why can’t we sell him in January? When Tierney has actually been in the side and we have an indication of his fitness level. Selling Monreal without proper backup for Kola makes no sense IMO. We’ve got Premier League, Carabang Cup and Europa League.

This won’t go well!

Just had a look. This guy played at LB for the youth teams at some point last season

Unacceptable ffs, he should shave that dreadful ‘facial hair’ ASAP

Please don’t return us to the old habit… sell before getting a replacement (or there is no replacement).

Monreal is still capable as a solid backup/rotation, and we need him now.
Selling him for an insignificant fee is not going to help us at all.

We need a player more than some peanuts right ATM.

We’ve got 3 left backs, something we definitely don’t need. So this is certainly far from being a “sell before getting a replacement” situation.

Monreal is shot to pieces and I won’t let his reasonable performances against the two of the least offensively daunting teams in the league (Newcastle and Burnley) change my mind on him.

He’s going to get eaten alive by any decent winger this season.
