Stick or twist

  1. 1. Would you?

    • Keep Naby and forego the chance to sign another creative midfielder; he’ll come good
    • Shiny shiny, can’t take the risk of another stop/start season, huge shame though it is
    • I am

Hypothetical scenario, keeping Naby and adding another player in his position isn’t an option.  
 

If the choice was either retain him for another season and not bring in another creative midfielder, or sell him and do so, which would you select?

It these are the two options he should be moved on. 

 

Depends on what others do as well though. Is Milner staying? Lallana is deffo off. Will Jones be a full member of the first team squad? Maybe Klopp decides to move on Chamberlain or Wijnaldum. Probably not.

 

We need six central midfielders if we aim to keep playing 4-3-3, and we need more creativity regardless what happens with Keita, in my opinion. 

 

I'm not sure there is space in the squad for Keita and Chamberlain. One has to go.

Sell him now whilst his stock is still pretty high. Has there ever been a player that has come good after two average at best seasons?

 

Next season I would give Harry Wilson Lallana's place and bring in somebody new for Keita. I've never seen Havertz play but my gut feeling is that he could become the best player in the clubs history.

I want him to succeed but there's a bad vibe surrounding his situation. Never has a solid run of games and even when he plays well, the moment is fleeting and people go back to wanting more from him, which we never get because he misses a game here and there shortly thereafter.

 

I'd rather keep him and sign someone, but I'd sell him if that was the only chance we could sign someone like Odegaard to replace him, for example.

IF it came down to a straight choice between Chamberlain and Keita, I’d keep Keita. However, Ox is going nowhere and we need someone we can rely on and we’d get a decent fee for Naby. Twist
