Not for me, Clements admits changes his mistake but he has tried playing Fer at full back and we went on a fruitless run of games and yesterday the "defence" became porous after the last switch not before, when the central midfield was changed. Time for Clements to realise Fer is not a defender be it at full back or midfield he is an asset going forward (when he is on his game) but a liability defensively |  | | |  |

Hopefully Ki will get back sooner or later.
and Fer can strengthen the bench |  |

Think Ki is in the same vain as Fer I'm not saying they are bad players but they need to be further up the pitch when they try to make positive thing happen not trying to be too clever in dangerous area for us | | | |

Ki fer and Ayew would be a stronger bench. | | | |

Any chance Man Utd will make the same mistake as Chelsea and let us have Matic, preferably on a free. | | | |

We'll leave that decision to Clement then. | |

I know most one here dislike Ki but we are a far stronger midfield when he's in it and fer is used as an impact sub. | | | |

Fer is a squad player at best, he is alright thrown on last 20 mins chasing the game. He should be nowhere near the midfield engine room. |  |

I think Fer cops a lot of criticism, bit of a scapegoat amongst some fans (and Wales Online) and at times this is a bit harsh on him.
Fer is much better in an attacking role than a defensive role. We saw this last season where he scored 6 goals, we saw this in pre season where he scored a couple of times as well.
Unfortunately though we don't have the depth to not play him in the deeper lying role at the moment. Hopefully this changes if/when we get new signings before the end of the month.
He's not perfect, sure, but he puts in a shift most of the time. And with our current squad he's a better starting option than Fulton (and arguably Britton as well due to his age / inability to consistently play 90 mins week in week out) so I don't think we have a choice but to keep playing him there for now.
As an attacking midfielder I think he's a good option to have in the squad. He is clearly no Siggy but he is not somebody we should be selling though. He does show passion, makes time for the fans and the community, and I get the impression that he loves the club and is pretty popular amongst the teammates as well
Just my two cents, I know some will disagree [Post edited 20 Aug 2017 12:30]

I sadly watched the game back, specifically looking at our midfield. Fer is OK on the ball but his work rate off the ball is terrible. Numerous times he just let Utd run through. Also looks a little unfit, and perhaps he's just not a 90 minute player. |  | | |

This is right, even Tom has been getting it as well. We need competition for places and players that can be used in a more attacking formation. We have opened the door and got rid of a whole host of players. Unfortunately we have done almost diddley squat in bringing players in.
This is the crux of the matter. Nothing wrong with what we have got. It is just not enough and we need more quality to strengthen the squad.

Fer should never have been anywhere near our team/club. Another journeyman who has the occasional good moment, but most of the time is dogshit.
His only attraction is that he was cheap, so obviously in Huw's sights. A typical Swans signing. |  | | |

I'm amazed we've hung on to him for so long.
Thought Everton woukd have been all over him ages ago, But unfortunately not. | | | |

Yes it was only MK Dons but Mesa and Fulton played in the deeper roles, Fer started in an attacking role
As a result Fer was able to play his more natural game and scored twice as well... my point still stands. Good option to have in the squad - much better in attack too | |

Complete nonsense. Fer has been a good signing. Weighs in with goals and has shown he's capable of mixing it with the best. He's not as consistent with his performances though as he would like. But certainly a good acquisition. | |

A few tap-ins have conned more than a few people into thinking he's an effective player. He's not. He's absolute gash most of the time. Takes a f*cking eternity to make a decision and painfully cumbersome on the ball. Comparing him to the last two Dutch midfielders we had is a perfect encapsulation of why we're so sh*te.
He's not all bad though he does try things and puts himself about which useful for the last 15 minutes. He does have some ability and part of the reason he's lauded by the edgy critics is because they're desperate for him to be another talented reclamation project, a la Dyer.
Squad player at best if we're serious about survival. |  |
