2719771, The point is Kante is injury prone, and we have no cover if he goes down

And we have been down this road before, where we have loaned out players who should have stayed, and our season was hampered due to not having enough cover because players were out on loan...

And again, Kante is closing in on 30, with tons of wear and tear on his body from playing at a high level for L City, Chelsea, and the French National team. And we have a 36 year old CB who has never played in the PL, so we don’t know if he will be able to hold up.

With Ampadu’s ability to play CB and DM, and his experience of playing on the first team, as well as already being a main starter for the Wales National team, there is no need for him to be out on loan. But yet Frank was high on Billy Gilmore being on the first team, and not loaning him out, and he is 19 as well. He has some talent, but not as good or versatile like Ampadu.

The fear is that Frank just has players that he is set on, regardless if they are deserving or not. And that is my fear as well.

The main concern is DEFENSE. We have the offensive talent and we are going to score goals. No doubt about it, but will our midfield and backline be shit again, an we will have the proper cover for those positions?


And again we have a stupid history of this shit, and we have lost some groundbreaking players because they were constantly being sent out on loan: KDB, Salah, Lukaku, Ake, Sturridge, Chalobah

So hopefully you can understand my intense concern.
