Gavin2011: mancrh: Gavin2011: Didn't do Welbeck any harm and he was coming back to a team that was flush with Strikers. Sending him out on loan to a prem club hopefully will do what it did for Welbeck. Hes not going to oust Evra and if he gets injured Evans smalling or evan Jones could fill in.
What does it tell you if he can't get past an off form
Evra for even one league start, and that 3 center backs are better options as back up?
If he does eventually go out on loan, i don't think he will return. Im not trying to put the boy down but i would honestly prefer those 3 in that position when we are up against it.
He should take heart in what Welbeck has done. He could of been a casualty like Rossi or Macheda(hurts me to say) but he was brilliant at Sunderland and managed to muscle his past berba in the United team. Its a similar situation in that way of youth and aging but i somehow feel with Fabio's days are numbered if he actually goes out.
Evra has that position to himself and as long as he does not do something nuclear it should stay that way. I want to see fryers in that position tbh. He may be the cb for the future however many cb have had to cut their teeth at fb.
Been saying for a long time that he's not going to be our left back. Three reasons: 1. the defensive side of his game is a bit awful for a defender. 2. We need a settled back 4 and that's not going to happen when one of them is as injury prone as Fabio is. 3. Without two left footed wingers in the first team, we risk the option of having no left footed player on the left for some of the games. The fact Evra is playing non stop, even though Young is doing most of his job almost every game, says it all. I actually thought he'd get his chances as a squad player and a winger, but nothing more, and it doesn't seem likely now. I see Fryers as more of a left back to be honest, and if he's staying then he'd get his games, if not we'd sign a young left back. As for the comparison with Welbeck, can't see it, before his loans Welbeck had less games with our first team than Fabio has, and he was two years younger than Fabio when he went on his PL loan. The way I see it, if we send a 22 year old on loan after he got many chances for our first team, then he has no future here. As tough as it sound.
