This has just been announced. Going to be given a proper run out after what was apparently a good loan at Dundee or back up to someone else? |  | | |  |

I still reckon they’ll loan somebody in over there.
As we talk about them learning from last summer, left back was one of the spots they fcked up so I reckon they’ll go belt and braces this time. |
That would mean keeping Fox, as well as signing another LB. I would be surprised if they kept Foxy.
It's the glaring gap and obvious since Paal departed (booted).
LB, DMC and CF, and we should have a squad that can finish 10th for a change. And that's before we bring in the customary Jan loans midway through the season. |  |

According to this report that came out before the announcement it is a 4 year deal with option for one year extension. How accurate that is we'll never know. |
Nourry will be cross as reports like that reduce our competitive advantage. |  |

Not sure if I am the only one feeling this way, but I genuinely hope there is something else in the pipeline for LB. Larkeche was nowhere near the defensive standard needed for the championship when we played for us, and I think the Scottish league is not close to what's demanded in the championship.
Just a strange extension for me. |
With you there… but probably a low risk signing.lower wages and may get a low fee from Scottish team if it does not work out | | | |

This has got another Haimalemadingdong written all over it.
Thought his defending was woeful under pressure. Here we go again. |  | | |

He’s shown far more than Hamelainen IMO. 30 more games under his belt last season and comes back with reasonably good reviews. At 22 if he were a free signing I don’t think we’d mind it. | | | |

I saw him play for Dundee quite a bit. His strength is still very much going forward. Defensively still suspect. I like him though, would be optimistic he can be a good player for us over the next few years. Wouldn't compare him at all to Kakay or Travelman. |  |

Tricky one. If you go out on loan and do ok then of course you deserve a chance to show what you can do. But if we are starting with Larkeche then we are deep in trouble.. | | | |

Been some chat on Twitter about Ishe Samuels-Smith coming on loan from Chelsea. Would make sense for Larkeche to be the long term plan after this season. |  | | |

Wasn’t there talk of Vale playing LB just a few week ago ?
Personally, I rather him play further up (if fully fit !) | | | |

I thought he was nowhere near the level defensively, but I think some of it was trying to hard to impress.
Les Ferdinand is the most obvious example of someone who who wasn't that good before he went on loan and we all know the rest. I'm not saying he will reach that level, but if we feel the loan has developed him then he should get a chance, otherwise what's the point.
I'm not overly optimistic, but for sure there is a chance he has improved significantly, I guess we will find out. [Post edited 30 Jun 20:04]

Slight exaggeration maybe. He’s not that bad. Clearly we’d like to have a better option but I think he can do a job there. | | | |

Just looked that lad up. He's never played men's football. Larkeche has and although he may not be at the standard we need, but that counts for something. |  | | |

Weren’t we being very heavily linked to Alfie Gilchrist on a perm not so long ago? Has that disappeared or perhaps never really an option ? | | | |

We have definitely enquired about him. Loan to a permanent with London being the preferred option on his side. Money talks though.
I think he's a right back though isn't he? | |

Thing is no one has seen him play since he went out on loan, he deserves a chance because he has been willing to learn elsewhere. Fond memories of the Stoke game and he is only 23 so when we saw him at HQ he was 21 so thinking he has done what we’ve asked, had good reports. Need more senior cover though | | | |

Well, let’s see how he does .
Going forward I liked him a lot . Defensively not so much but hopefully he has learned a lot and is fully entitled to be given a crack at left back .
But by the way, when did it become an absolute no no on here, for people to express constructive criticism about individuals?
Starting to do my head in.
No one is saying “Larkeche is sh*t, blah blah blah “.
It’s ok for people to express concerns based upon what they have seen and witnessed with their own eyes and express them constructively and without being disrespectful, without being made to feel like they some sort of Nazi, just because they are concerned they might not be quite up to the standard they need . Yes, we should wait and see how he does , but previous performances defensively have been mixed at best.
To ignore that is just not realistic .
What is this absurd protection racket some fans have that they just can’t have any concerns raised by other fans without feeling like they are the great protectors of our club?
It’s ok. The club and the player will survive . I promise .
Anyway , chose the hottest day of my lifetime to move house so I’m exhausted hot and bothered .

It's happened after Stephan, Diarra and Bould have all arrived, so (possibly stating the obvious but) I'd guess between them they see enough about him to fit how they want to play, and Bould may see parts of his game that he can quickly address (positioning, tackling that sort of thing...)
Wouldn't be hard to imagine them also going for another LB to give stiffer competition if something comes up, with Esquerdina as an emerging back-up. |  | | |

Well he’s had a season on loan, played some games. Hopefully he’s improved. My main point though is that we’ve signed a couple of young decent players for the squad already. We can’t just buy replacements everywhere in 1 go. Has to be gradual and some of our current players like Kelman and Lakerche have to step up after some time on loan. But that also means we have to give them a chance. I don’t think either of them have been given real game time…..that’s starts and in their correct position (not right back or winger). | | | |

Yeah but we loaned him out and I said at the time it was a mistake and it was. Ashby at LB is a stupid idea, we got away it for some of the matches but not all. | |

I’d say the term is , you can’t polish a. Turd , terrible defensive player , would play him as left winger but no where near th left back,position |  |

He’s started what 3 league games for us? 1 as right back and 1 as a winger. | | | |
