Ryan Giles on loan to Leeds

Ryan Giles,,,

Boro ..47 games 0 goals and 11 assists, but what the stats don't say, is we had a Mr Chuba Akpom on the end of most of Giles assists.

Luton.. 11 games 0 goals and 0 assists.

Stats also don't say, how many goals were scored against us, due to his poor/average defending.

Some on here think it's Ryan Giles AKA Paolo Maldini :ROFLMAO:

Little club Luton paid out a record transfer fee for him, and four months later they are now thinking of loaning him out... that says it all.....

In a fantasy world where we got him back now, I would just play him on the left wing, free him up of defensive duties, enough responsibility to track back and help but not so much that he's exposed defensively constantly. Just exploit his delivery and natural instinct to attack.
 
Luton didn't sign Giles to play in the 24/25 season but they definitely were signing players that were top end championship/bottom end PL because that's what they could afford. The benefit also being that if they get relegated they won't have a team of players that think they are too good to stick around and will have a good chance of promotion the following season. How many of the flops that we bought when we last got promoted were still around the following season? Maybe we would have had a better chance of being promoted again if we had been a bit more sensible with our transfer business like Luton have been.

People still looking down on Luton is weird. We are a mid table championship team. They are a PL team. It's not like he's rejected a mid table PL team for a big money move to Saudi. He's decided to get paid more for a chance to play at a higher level. He might not have had the best start at Luton but Engel go subbed off at half time against the worst team in the league and now people are saying they wouldn't have Giles back because Engel is better.

I don’t get this “they didn’t sign him for this season” thing. Like what is that based on? Of course they did.

Nanos post just before yours does a better job of explaining it than I did

They have signed a lot of top end championship/low end PL players hoping they will do a job for them (and they aren't doing too bad after a shaky start!) knowing that the likelyhood of them getting relegated is quite high - instead of blowing all their money like some have, they're building a solid team that will compete next year in the championship if they do go down - it's smart and will mean that when/if they go back up again they will be building a PL team from a better starting point and with better finances
 
I find the idea that Luton, after getting promoted to the Premier League, would spend a chunk of their budget - breaking their transfer record in the process - on a left back that wasn't going to play much this season, but instead next season in the Championship, despite already achieving promotion with their current left wing back who was more than good enough there, and who they currently seem to think is also good enough to be consistently starting in the Premier League over Ryan Giles, to be an absolute non-starter of an argument, frankly.

Let's just say it like it is, he started the first three games of the season for them, got repeatedly caught out defensively in the first few games, and got dropped.
 
The fact he didn't get his game after a shaky start to the season tells you he was bought to play this season.

Luton don't think he is good enough for the bottom of the prem.

He isn't twice the player engel is either, no where near.
