Agreed. Surely playing him further forward would make the most sense? When he had decent support down the left he looked very dangerous.
I thought that , I think Hurst tried it one game early on with Amos LB and Glennon LM ,can't remember who it was against .

I rate him but I'm surprised at the size of clubs supposedly interested. If this is true then he will go for sure, a shame but I'm sure PH has a plan B

Paul Dixon? Signed by Slade but recent memory
Definitely out of criteria. Arguably the worst left back I've seen for Town.

To move Glennon more advanced in the left flank would mean having to find a fully defence minded left back with enough pace to cover any speedy opposition wingers, which is where Glennon has been caught out sometimes this season.
The trap that Glennon has fallen into is when he is slightly too late making some tackles, either clattering the winger and getting booked, or having the ball nipped past him and not being able to turn and chase quickly enough.
Holding back, and not committing too early would greatly improve the way that fans perceive his defensive qualities and assist him in not looking weak on that flank.
No one is above being sold for any good amounts, but some clear instructions in training sessions could make Glennon 100% more effective, and benefit the team as a whole.
Possibly spoilt by previously having Townsend and Andrew in that slot ??

Regardless if he stays or goes, I'm not convinced Glennon is actually slow.
He wasn't slow in his loan spell and I'm certain he wasn't slow early on last season. But when he returned from injury/illness he looked like he needed oiling!
Hopefully any niggles and issues are sorted over the summer break.

Would need to be a balance between us acquiring as much as we can for him whilst not standing in his way if he receives a career changing invitation and wants to go. For me, if it’s a championship club, we should’ve asking at least for a 6 figure sum, and pushing that as high as we can.

Pete O’Rourke is the League Two Fabrizio Romano so it’s likely there’s some truth in this. Cash in IMO.
He also linked Glennon with jobs prior to the January transfer window and he stayed then… [tweet]1588176129101291521[/tweet]

I was wondering yesterday where O’Rourke gets his news from, given he gets the scoop on about 99% of lower league deals. He must have a good relationship with agents, who feed him stories to drive traffic to that footballinsider247 website which essentially is just a platform for ads - there’s nothing of any real substance on there. Agents probably get a cut of the ad revenue for providing stories. To that end, I’d say this is probably Glennon’s agent trying to manufacture a move away, or get a new contract put in front of him by exaggerating the level of interest.

The thought had crossed my mind, social media is a free gift for greedy agents.
