Agents……Where does Fabrizio get this garbage? Cannot see Lamptey going anywhere
Exactly. Lamptey has a key role to play in this side albeit it a slightly different one to which he has been accustomed. Tariq was terrific when he came on at Leicester demonstrating his value to the side. I cannot see why would want to sell.I can understand Lamptey being a bit miffed as he seems to be 3rd choice RB behind Gross and Veltman at the moment, however both of those players could easily be needed to cover shortages in other positions and Lamptey has still been getting on the pitch in every match since the restart after the WC (in fact you have to go back to the Wolves game for the last time he was an unused sub).
Gross slots into Ali Mac's position against Bournemouth because of suspension. Veltman could be needed to cover the injuries at centre back. Colwill is out for a while and Webster is still coming back to full fitness. Concerns over the fitness of Adam Lallana could also see a positional change for Gross.
Lamptey is vital to the squad to allow those other players to be so versatile in where they cover. I'd be very surprised if we let him go.

Or if he is agitating for more playing time, playing time is the reason he came here. If he’s unhappy and has no guarantees we could move him on?Only reason we would sell is if we felt we could upgrade in that position or sign a player who fitted RDZ’s plans better going forward.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we made a new signing in that position in the sumner.
What's happened to young Offiah? He seemed to be on the fringes a while back - would he possibly come into contention if Lamptey went out on loan to get back up to speed with more regular game time?He isn't the player he was when he first broke into the team and I'd imagine that his lack of gametime suggests that he's not training at a good level either. Pascal Gross being picked ahead of him is a very telling sign for me, I thought Lamptey has looked leggy and lost in the games I've seen him this season and it's genuinely upsetting to see. He was amazing in his prime, but that may have passed already. If we had other options at right back, I could see him leave on loan to try and get some gametime and get some fitness back into him.
