If he's comfortable enough to put in good performances at RW the attacking side of playing LWB shouldn't be a problem. Or RWB for that matter.

Touché.
Lecce playing Inter at 5PM today, will be a good test for him against Dumfries presumably.
He's played as often at RW as he has at LB this season along with practically every position on both flanks and he's been played centrally too.
Only 1 place he’s playing for us though. Unless we sign another LB
Hopefully if we get him he does well. I have a bit of PTSD from recent Serie A signings (excluding Amad) but it's definitely one of the priority positions we need to fill right now.
Got to be honest I know next to nothing about him so my expectations are quite low until I see him play.

You're moving the goalposts now. He's not exclusively a LB. If he can play anywhere on the left flank he'll be able to play LWB.
Is it revelant to bring that up and is it even true?
Not really and yes
Looks to have the athletic profile of Toni V, which is ideal for a wing back.
Haven't seen anything close to Valencia's pace in any of the videos
That’s what I meant obviously. We’re signing him to play LWB in the system we’re using.
Oh right sorry. I didn't go all the way back to the start of the conversation so got the wrong end of the stick.
No worries mate.

It’s relevant when I consider squad composition so yeah. And yeah it’s true.
The reviews I have read on him mostly seem a bit tepid. Think we really need wing backs who are going to change the way we play..hope he is up to the job
Not disputing it but what happened with regards to this homophobic behaviour?
Position?
Please report back on his performance as the cafe have no clue about him as a player.
Google reckons he's at left back. Should be a good test of his athleticism against Dumfries if nothing else.
However, Google is wrong as often as it's right about positions and formations.
Starting at LB!
I think any left footed leftback would change how we play realistically, using a bit more width and hopefully providing a bit more quality distribution than Dalot with his left
Thing is I dont think Dorgu is faster than Dalot. So it would probably be a downgrade on speed at the same time
The wing backs are crucial in Amorim’s system. Patrick Dorgu is dynamic and offers quality that we currently lack on the left: height, power, technical ability and brains. He has excellent close control and can carry the ball easily. He also has a good weight of pass and eye for a goal. He would be a valuable asset for around £25 - £30m.
Kind of highlights how far we’ve fallen that I’d fecking kill for Valencia in our team right now and he probably wasn’t even in the top 30 players I’ve seen play for us
There was no homophobic behaviour, Maz practices the religion of Islam, and refused to wear the LBQT+ armband twice due to his religious beliefs.
He is allowed to have his own beliefs and views, while following his faith, it doesn't mean he is homophobic.
Playing LB in a back 4
2 interceptions in the 1st 5 mins
One cross that a defender cleared

If we go for any deal now we won’t be adding another in the summer as we have Leon incoming
Inter scored but not his fault
Thank you! If I could like a post, I would give you a like.
You’re thinking about it the wrong way. We are not thinking about top 30 players but about players who would suit the system and TV would have been ideal. This is how we should be looking at team building too, how the team is as a sum of its parts, not about buying all the big names. We’ve tried that and it’s left us broke

Google Mazraoui homophobia.
Religion or not homophobia is homophobia. Anyway let’s not take the topic any further away from Dorgu by going into specifics.
I do think a footballers attitude and beliefs are a relevant consideration in the modern game as it harms campaigns the club would otherwise support. I’ll leave it there.
Let’s not make a transfer thread about homophobia please, stay on topic
I turned this Lecce Inter game on 37 seconds ago and in that time Inter have had two goals disallowed. Lecce look absolutely pants.
Thuarm in behind him with a run sets up the 2nd for Inter
Edit - 2nd goal thats been ruled off!

What position is he playing vs Inter? LB?
Yes
LB.
Game isn't really worth watching. Lecce are shite and Dorgu is barely on the ball.
He knew all along.
