It’s someone who is, with the exception of teams in Europe, likely to only play 5-8 game a season at the most and be happy to do so. And they’ve got to be able to just drop into the team with a good performance as and when required which isn’t easy. Throw in the fact that we have only had four transfer windows in the Premier League and came up basically without a squad, it don’t think it’s horrendous that Elmo is currently our back up right back.To be honest, I’m not sure there are many great back up full backs in the league, other than at a few of the clubs in Europe. I personally prefer Guilbert to Elmo, but I don’t really think there is a huge different between them. I also expect that it’s fairly likely neither will be here next season anyway.This is exactly my thoughts. The only thing I'd add is that we'll get more money for Freddie now, given his form in the French league, than we would with him sitting about on out bench (which looked like the alternative at the time). Elmo's off on a free regardless. From a purely financial point of view we've done the right thing in my book. We need to start moving on our backup players so we can replace them with higher calibre players. So sell a back up player to buy another back up player?

So poor its untrue. Completely unbalanced the aide as he offers nothing going forwards, gives the ball away and also gives goals away cheaply.The good news is Cashy was hoping over the seats so fingers crossed he's back next week.
He did a decent job defensively, but offers nothing going forward. He and Traore have zero understanding down that side and it badly shows
Not for me, he's woeful and the lack of quality from Cash being absent is telling.Our width comes from the full backs with the wide men coming inside. Not good enough and he's been dire.
Adama Traore keeps himself quiet as he absolutely rubbish.

Not good enough and he's been dire.Cash been excellent but not like we've been amazing with him in the team in recent times, we didn't offer v West Ham with him in the team and also poor going forward v Brighton before he went off.AEM has his faults as you'd expect of 34 year old guy who hasn't played much in last six months but he's come in and been part of two clean sheets in 4 so we haven't regressed defensively with him in the team as feared at least.
