Laughable Chimp Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Nakamba isn't very good, but it'd be a bit silly to ship him off without having some kind of replacement. We are however very likely to get in at least one CM during this window so I'm not too worried. I'd start the worrying if we get to the end of the window with Lansbury as our only midfield cover.

Jas10 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 A bit too lightweight. Can’t really pass or shoot. Decent at the defensive side, breaking up play but he is very limited and I wouldn’t miss him at all but also wouldn’t be upset at him remaining. Seems easily overpowered at times. I’d like us to have a much better quality of player throughout the squad in all honesty so that we have decent options from the bench too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 We'll get in another DM and off he'll go I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 3, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2020 McCarthy would be a decent upgrade on Nakamba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I see everyone calling him Nakamba on here. A while ago everyone said marvelous.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 If the loan rumours are true btw it also shows the folly of thinking we can get our money back for anyone we sign who's under 25. No one is paying 12m for Nakamba based on what he's shown this season, certainly a Belgian club who wanted him back wouldn't pay even half of that fee.

Brumstopdogs Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 If we can sell him I'd personally be in favour of moving him on. He just has too many weaknesses to his game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Bit strange the multiple links. Makes me think he wants away and his agent is busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2020 If he's on 55k we should consider giving him away and paying half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Another player some people are writing off after a single season, having moved to a new country and being in a struggling side! He won't be on anything like £55k, and as a back up DCM he will do. He is what we have to come on in the final 10 minutes and protect the back line, and we aren't going to buy a new one of these to sit on the bench. Unless someone gives us our €12m back. He's 26, and last season was only his 4th full season in a European league. He should develop, and improve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted August 4, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 Written off just like Idrissa Gueye who went on to prove he is a very decent player. At the moment he is a limited player with weaknesses in his game but its too soon to be writing him off and shipping him out. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I think he's more Carlos Sanchez than Idrissa Gueye. Either great or suicidal. No middle ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooJung Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'd offload him, he looks way to uncomfortable on the ball for the premier league, and I also don't trust him as a character, given that he went on strike to force a move to join us. Such behavior displeases me. Yes, I'm writing him off after a season. Just how we wrote off the likes of Tonev, Helenius, Luna, Tshibola, and the list goes on. Only mentioning the likes Gana, Petrov and Angel is cherry picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sanchez was better, strong, good in the air and with good technique. Shame he had the attention span of a goldfish. Nakamba maybe has better concentration, a decent tackle, but he looks less comfortable on the ball than a goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Adequate Nakamba Shame, as he seems like a decent fella. I'd keep him as a squad player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
