As much as I'd like this to be the case, not so sure that Moder has the technical ability to play in a RDZ midfield duo. Our current duo lack the physicality and pace that Moder and Baleba have.

He was our second best player today after Baleba (Lamptey was good after he came on). I see where you're coming from though: it's instructive that RDZ rarely plays him in the midfield duo and I think we've got other/better players that play higher up the pitch. There are certain players that...

Something might come along to boost things. It has done for decades now. And there are state-owned clubs that have got money to burn. But at the same time PRS has had some effect, particularly on those that aren't owned by states or a company with too much cash. What comforts me is, if you'd...

Don't think he needs to expect a crash in the market. There is a crash in the market. Chelsea can put a £50m price tag on Broja and Leicester can put £40m on KDH, but no-one is going to pay it in the current situation. Why else has there been so little activity in this window? Note also that the...

This is just a further reminder that, while on other topics you can be astute, when it comes to football, you're somewhat bizarre.

Yes, where he fits in is far from obvious. I'll go for number 10/support striker as another option.

I think he'll be alright, because one of his greatest strengths is getting into those positions to at least have a chance. And he'll have more of those under RDZ.

Hmm. I'm not convinced. I think he was more suited to a Potter set-up, being more fluid. He might be more suited to a 10/ACM/support striker role (a la Lallana) in a RDZ system. Can't see him being used as a winger/wide forward, and have my doubts about whether he's got all the required...

My question is: is he still training alone, or is he now being integrated into squad training?

I think I'm with you and have multiple thoughts on Moder. One is that he was really developing in the period leading up to his injury. He got into so many good positions and the fact that he didn't register a goal was more down to other factors (brilliant defending, goalkeeping, extremely fine...

I wouldn't align Moder's current situation with Izquierdo. Izquierdo had an unusual knee injury, whereas Moder ruptured(?) his ACL. This is a standard injury where there's much medical evidence on recovery, and a return to the top level. Solly did his c8 years ago, and look how he's performed...
