You confuse me. Your post said we were in good shape on the left if he left. I have no idea if he will or not
Ok. We’re better with Schade in the team, as he’s been awesome this year. But if he doesn’t want to sign, then January is a possibility of getting the most for him. We have KLP/Dams who could play on the left, and Rico/Dioff/Hickey can play left back.

Just to persist on your persistence – of course, Lewis-Potter and Damsgaard could play on the left, as could many other players.

Personally, Ouattara is probably better than either as a substitute... but none of the above come close to what Schade gives us; he's key to the way we play. He'd need to be replaced should he be sold.

Dango would work certainly. We’d need to reshape if Schade was to leave. KLP would work and be effective. He does make mistakes defensively, so he would be freed up more. Dioff would offer lots in attack.

I agree none of the suggestions replicate what Schade brings to the team on the left of the forward line, pace, ability in the air, hard working off the ball. But if he leaves I wonder if we already have a replacement in house? Looking at these highlights Furo almost looks a replica of a young Schade.

Possibly... if or when Schade moves on I'd hope there were other s'in the building' as well, so we'd probably be changing style of play to optimise their use.

are we ? Who plays instead ?
Anthony, KLP, Nunes, Carvalho, Damsgaard and Ouattara have all played significant portions for their senior careers as LWs, all have stiff competition for their places elsewhere on the pitch. Imo we wouldn't be in a desperate rush to replace him if he went in January for example, we'd keep our powder dry til the right opportunity came along and trust one of the above to step up

Looking at the watching stands it does not look a very high standard of football!
He would have been 17 or 18 years old in most of those highlights, so yes mostly junior football. He only played a handful of first team games before we signed him. However our recruitment could see the potential. Could you not see the pace, power, and ability in the air he already possessed at that young age in junior football?

KLP can’t do what Schade does. I think people underestimate KS heading ability and what that brings to the team. KLP is doing a great job within the squad but if KS left, he would need replacing in the same window.
Exactly. Also, I see no one else in the current squad with the sheer pace of Schade. This is our main outlet and we would need a direct replacement to continue with this threat..

Oh yes, not knocking him, but as you so rightfully say he is a junior playing in junior football, and we do not know the standard. I think he is a good signing, however, it is early days, and I would like to see a little more of him before he becomes a replacement for Schade.

Well as I don't anticipate Schade needing a replacement before next summer at the very earliest, hopefully longer if he signs a new contract, then young Furo has plenty of time to develop into a possible replacement.
