Valuation of Kent

I'd argue that he's too similar to Arfield in that respect. We would have 2 that don't have great pace. Having Kent and Arfield gives a good contrast.

 

I guess there may be games where it may work, if the opposition is playing a 10 man defence, but a bit of pace is always helpful.

I know what you mean but it's hard to know. The passing game the team have played cuts teams open without the conventional beating men down the channels. In 6 games we scored 14, Arfield was involved (goals+assists) in 5, Defoe in 6 and Kent in none. I prefer the idea of Murphy there and Dorrans maybe behind but I think Dorrans has the skillset to be very effective there too. He only needed a few minutes at Villareal to show us the creative quality we've missed without him.

I see Dorrans competing with Davis for the same role; the deeper, central player in the midfield three, with the freedom to move. The energy of Kamara and Jack have complemented Davis very well.

 

They're both getting on a bit, so utilising both could work.

Now confirmed by the Club that Kent will be back next season on loan.

First and foremost it's about Dorrans staying fit, getting match fit and avoiding injuries/ seeing how knee holds up.

 

Those are significant hurdles and unfortunately, I can't see him playing a regular part or getting back to full match sharpness.

I could see Rossiter being the one to compete with Davis if we decided to keep him.

Somebody from the club must have made a faux pas.... I read it on their Twitter yesterday and seems it has been taken down.....

 

EDIT : I see it was a fake account - sorry folks.... wasn't paying attention as I have a lot of "stuff" going on right now.
