I have read a couple of days/ weeks ago, that moreno was originally a winger and got converted into a LB. Any truth to that?

If that is true why aren't we trying to set him up as a winger? He has pace, istnt that bad on the ball and has a fairly decent cross and shot. Surely if he wants to he can be converted back into a winger at least for rotation purposes.

I might be one of the only ones but i think moreno is a decent player with some flaws that can be worked on.

{Ed001's Note - he was a very poor winger, hence the attempt to convert him to full back. You don't convert quality wingers to play in defence. Sevilla has a history of taking struggling wingers and turning them into valuable full backs.}

Thanks for the reply.

Moreno played only one year for their first team though and he was very young. Im not sure what players they had on the wings/ denfence in that time but it could have had something to do with the other players available at that time.

I would like him to stay because i think he is a decent player but he really has to work on his flaws.

{Ed001's Note - he had come through their youth and been assessed repeatedly and was always going to have to move back to have a chance. He can't cross, pass or shoot, that is not a good set of attributes for a winger.}

Have to agree with Ed001. a lot of fans go. on about his ability going forward. But in fact he isn't that great often hitting 1st man with crosses or turning back and playing easy backwards pass rather than commit defenders. Seems a nice slightly mad guy but best for both parties for him to move on.

I can't cross pass or shoot either, must be my lack of a ridiculous hair cut that's held me back 😂.

But if his crosses are that bad, why does he allways takes corners when he is on? Im not talking about their success rate just the fact, that he does kick a lot of corners when on.

If we get an offer around 15mio pounds (for some reason german keyboards don't have the symbol) we should sell him. Even if we don't sign a new LB we still have Milner and maybe someone with a lot of potentiall from the u21/ u23. btw Milner, statwise, was one of the top 5 LBs last season so keeping him as maybe our first choice is not the worst case imo.

The guy is just flat out poor technically and lacks any type of football IQ, end of. You can't pass, cross, tackle or shoot. My old coach used to tell me that if you can't affect the game offensively or defensively, please tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do with you and why I should pick you.

I agree. Would like to see him given another chance.
