Carl Sagan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Couldn't see a thread on this so am starting it up: https://www.blackandredunited.com/dc-united-transfers/2017/7/31/16067384/marcus-olsson-dc-united-mls-transfer-rumors-news-derby-county All our other left backs are injury prone but we probably have enough to cover and Fozzy seems the preferred starter from pre-season games.

RamsFan10 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Let him go, need to trim the squad and we have two talented youngsters in Lowe and MacDonald as back up to Forsyth. Would rather we use the young players than have a 29 year old bang average back up. Lowe could easily be a starter if he can stay fit anyway, looks really good. Worse case secnario, we have Anya, Baird and Wisdom who have all played left back to a decent standard before anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Get shot, he's just not very good at defending which happens to be his primary job. Forsyth and Lowe are way better even if they are injury prone, and macdonald looks a real prospect. He can cover if needs be so let's not have unnessecery players block his route to the team.

Ninos Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Get rid pronto ... of him ... and about 10 others! We have Fozzy Lowe and McDonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Fozzy's the main man, Lowe if fit (please! looks a prospect) and McDonald (we hear) are good lads. Anya and Baird can play LB. Olsson can go. Thanks for the goal against Forest, thanks for you efforts, but if this smaller squad that GR wants is going to happen, Olsson must be prime candidate for departure.

(Forsyth, Lowe, Olsson, Anya) Forsyth just come back from pretty much 2 years out. Lowe is made of glass. Anya isn't actually a left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EulogyForEvolution Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Dreadful left back. Never stops the cross coming in, just backs up and backs up into his own area and puts pressure on the rest of the defence. I'd rather see us use Lowe, MacDonald and Baird if it means trimming one more who's probably on decent wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not as bad people make out and id much rather see Lowe go out on a season loan than sell Olsson but we do need to trim the squad so if the price is right then I have no issue as we have plenty of cover options. Abit too random of a rumour to have no truth to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with Lowe for the entire season who appears to be getting back fit soon. And I'd be equally happy with Anya and Baird as I would be with Olsson. Anya especially is a decent full back (plays there for Scotland and is currently their first choice by all accounts, and got promoted at Watford playing at wing back), Baird is reliable. MacDonald could be worth a chance - we don't know. If Forsyth did sustain a major injury, and Lowe the same, then I presume we'd buy someone in Jan. But that's the same for any position. What if Wisdom and Baird get injured at RB? Or Keogh and Davies? Two players per position in plenty of cover, and currently we have 7 people who can play leftback. In all honesty, I think if he'd have been fit for the last 2 years Lowe would be a first choice, in fact I don't think we'd still own him. Remember wolves away last year, he looked brilliant.
