I hate the idea bringing Foyth because we can't get people in that are good enough. If he isn't good enough take the 15m and get someone who is good enough. We gone down the not good enough but cheap route before.

Fuck it Juan, that’s a bad one I’d say...
He's been established as Villarreal's first choice RB for a while now. Played well today, although now going off with what looks like a muscular injury.
I'd be happy with him as second choice RB for us, with Tanganga as third choice. Get Emerson Royal as first choice, sell Aurier & Doherty.
He seems to have switched between RB and DM a lot.
I would rather have 15m and Tanganga/Lavanier as the back-up RB's, let Lavanier play in EL and Cup games and have Tanganga to play in PL if there is an injury to our new starting RB.
Edit:
To me he has shown he is not good enough, when I watch him he still doesn't look close to good enough, as we saw today he still loves a dumb penalty to giveaway although got saved by the hand ball.
You keep saying the same thing about Dele...when you shoul dhave been saying the same thing about Mou.
Not anymore. Initially he had to play there to cover for an injury crisis. Now he's established first choice RB.
Why don't we take the opinion of someone who has been watching Villarreal regularly this season? Foyth may have improved, he's only turned 23 this Jan.
He played well today, probably MOTM. Although I agree the penalty give away which didn't count was concerning.
I'll maybe take the word of unbiased Villareal fans and to them he hasn't been anything special. I have watched him play some and he has not improved in the areas that concern me, maybe I have always caught him at his worst, but that is doubtful. Even today, doesn't look to have much, if any of a cross on him, still makes the major blunders in one on one duels, still puts himself out of position which means he has awkward situations to defend.
He was not close to MOTM today at all. maybe a 6/10.
The loan with the option to buy worked out he wasn't good enough for us went and found a place where he fits and now we get some money to spend on someone who is good enough. I don't see why when money is supposedly so tight that we would bring in a guy who isn't good enough and hope that he changes rather than brining in quality. It seems like the kind of move that has got us our current bloated squad full of back-ups that we really don't want starting for us.
The match reports
Problem is at the moment there are not many good left and rightbacks
Well then lucky for us we are one of the biggest clubs in the world and can get almost any player out there.
I know many people want to pretend that we can't get good players but if the excuse for us bringing in shit players is that the transfer window is hard we should quit right now.
Foyth would be by far the worst RB out of the big 6 teams plus Leicester and in the bottom 10 of starting RB's in the PL. Our goals should be higher than that.
Again I’m not sure you’ve seen him enough to come to that conclusion.
He barely played RB for us; and when he did it was vs City and he owned Sterling. Also played well today with some great runs.
I know I have seen enough of him.
What about a bottom 6 team ?
He went on 3 surging runs in the first half, and each time he was chasing his touch. We've already got Sissoko at the ready for that type of thing.
Could do a job for them, especially if they were hoping to be relegated.
they have an option to purchase ... it's their decision not ours. They will have paid us around 5m in loan fees and salary and the option is around 15m (that's from media reports but they all say the same)
We paid 13m for a player who either wasn't good enough or never got a decent chance, very much doubt he wants to come back seems well settled at Villareal.
He will thrive with ten Hag as manager
