Is Kouyate on his way out?

Submitted by North Bank Hammer on

Okay he didn't want to play at right back I understand that. Players like to play in their own positions but most people when they put out by something and that problem ends they're quite happy to resume a normal attitude to back to normal circumstances. So over a month past the the end of the season with the transfer window now open griping about a situation that has past doesn't look good. To me he's making a fuss to see what inquires might happen and then from that his agent can start to manipulate proceedings. What are your thoughts?

Whilst bilic has acted imcomptent in this situation (surprise surprise) something doesn't sit right with what kouyate says. Maybe it's just his way of saying he doesn't trust or rate bilic and wants out.

Another one that was fuckall before he joined us. He's good, but he's not that good. If he moved on it wouldn't be our biggest loss. Obiang is our most important midfielder now. Maybe that's why Wile E. has started sounding off. When the going gets tough, the weak moan and run.

No Fred we don't need to sell him, we just need a manager who knows how to use him properly. On a completely different subject we get bilic palace are after de boer. Now who out of the two of us is showing intent to progress?

the manager asks him to. And he should give 100% in that. That said, a manager should play his players, whenever possible, where they are best suited, not "out of position". It's a common criticism on this site that Bilic has played people (especially Antonio) out of position. I can understand him doing so when injuries make it a necessity, but not otherwise, and if we don't have any capable player at position X, then that position has to be top of the transfer list. The Kouyate story, to me, smacks of "leveraging", probably at the instigation of an agent. I don't really expect more loyalty from Kouyate or any modern players anymore. It still irritates me, though. Kouyate is a better than average player, and I'm glad to have him in the team, but he's not worth losing too much sleep over.
