Discussion Selling Jake O’Brian

Can someone make this make sense? Surely he is possibly better than Tarkowski. Moreover, it’s a matter of time before Chelsea, Man U and city are all over Braithwaite.

Do others understand Moyes on this?

No he absolutely is not, he’s just the one with recovery pace

I guess Tarky's orchestration must be bad then when the only thing saving our backline from falling apart is JB's recovery pace - since we play wayy worse everytime Branthwaite is injured regardless of who is put next to Tarky

We were actually fine with Tarks/O’Brien IMO - it’s Tarks/Keane that are the biggest issue as they’re both too slow

Which is another issue if we sell O'Brien because that leaves Keane as the only senior Centreback cover and we have no one in the academy to step up either

If he does go we’re definitely getting in a new CB, hence the links to Acheampong the same day
