His attacking game needs work, for sure, but it is improving. He generally operates a lot like our FBs do, as in the midfield ahead of him cuts inside and he is there to make width. Got a nice assist at the weekend.

Hmm, maybe Tah from Leverkusen might have more long-trm upside...food for thought..
Yeah, he seems like a good possible fit

He started out like a house of fire when he first came into the Utd side, still only 21 and can/has played several positions. Another one who came up through the Ajax academy. Just the type of player that Poch could turn into a star, not sure Utd would let him come here though.

Is Fosu Mensah getting a game for Palace these days? If not, that would seem a big question mark for me...

Good call.

i think the form of Wan Bissaka is keeping him out.

Definitely looked good, saw him a few times that year and he impressed each time.
And since done.... well basically nothing. Could be a player there, but feels more like a risk now than it would have a year or so ago.

It would seem Poch doesn't really like individual flair players. Lamela and Moura seem to have had their individuality knocked out of them. N'KD and N'Jai never really got a look in. Son has had his wings somewhat clipped, especially when Harry and Dele are playing.
Poch always talks about the collective. I don't think he is comfortable with individual flair players, who could change the game for us in an instant.

No he is not.

It is why we have to be sure he is going to be here for the long term before we sign any players. Then make sure they are players he actually wants.

He always was coming through youth football at Ajax. He's also about 6'4". He's only being used at FB now because it's a less risky position to introduce a young defender.

The was a lot of talk earlier in the season about us going for Ake at Bournemouth, i can only say I fcuking hope not, awful player.

Bit off for a manager to have an issue with flair players when one of his mantras is to take risks with the ball.
And when the like of Son gets loads of goals a season? Yes, wings definitely clipped...
Could it not be as simple as expecting every player to put in a shift for the collective? Thats what he asks isnt it?
Not "Oh no, you cant go and dribble or attack" (see the dozens of times a game Son loses the ball doing this)
but "Absolutely do you thing, but also make sure you get back and defend"
he played well under Poch at Espanyol (sp?) apparently.
He is at Fulham - Bisaaka must be fudging good to keep him out.

He's been retasked as RB from a CM role. He struggled to claim a spot in CM at Barca, though I wouldn't hold that against him too much. It does show he is versatile.
