    Dalot doing his part in keeping the pressure on Inter at the top of the table (as Milan get the 0-2 win at Verona).

    Wished we wouldn't give up on him, but Ole doesn't appear to rate him so let's hope that Milan will agree to take him off our hands (at a fair price). He seems to have fit pretty well there.

    How much are we anticipating from Dalot transfer ? £15m sounds about right for him.

    Not a penny less though: more than a fair price for Dalot. For him personally, hope they are willing to pay up but if not, someone else surely will at this price.

    I think Dalot returns as our fullback cover and Brandon Williams goes out on loan. Would make sense to me;

    - we have other priorities than signing fullbacks this summer
    - our other youth options not ready yet
    - players around Dalot / Williams ages need some competitive minutes or they stagnate

    - Milan need to spend their limited funds elsewhere being back in the CL now

    Weird to me that we don't/didn't rate him. All his metrics say he's got the potential to be a solid RB. He's got some work to do defensively, but of course he does, he's still young and learning.

    Perfectly fine with this decision. Never have been down on Trips, depending on how much he'd cost us. With Atleti apparently not willing to budge on his fee, it really makes things a lot simpler as far as we are concerned.
    Dalot performed well enough in preseason: had a horrible moment, which led directly to a goal but until then, he was doing pretty good. Did ok in his short cameo vs Everton as well.
    For the role we'd need him for as AWB's understudy, there's no reason not to keep him, give him opportunities here and there and see how it goes. If there one more incoming move in store for the club (which is far from certain at this point), it has to be for a CM: of that there is no doubt.

    His defensive performance was better against Palace than the first game.

    Proof right there that if you keep your head down, keep on working hard and keep the faith, good things can happen.
    On Dalot's current form, there is no way AWB gets his place back.

    When things are going well he's pretty complete fullback. He has good athleticism. Good size, good feet and an idea.

    When he's struggled, it's not because he can't do, its more his focus or immaturity.


    I never pegged him to play as well as he has this season, but its still very early.

    Interesting move. Dalot has never impressed me much. He’s not bad, but to me he hasn’t shown that he has the quality to start for a team that has title aspirations outside of a small patch of good form early this season. Still, he’s not a bad option so hopefully he kicks on and takes a step forward next season.

    This either means AWB is on the market or we’re dropping interest in Frimpong for the time being.

    I know im pleased.

    He's not world class, but he's getting better every season.
