Free Agents

[blue to the bone]

There's a reason they are still free agents 6 weeks into the season.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Aurier for 6 months 100 percent, we must sign a long term RB next summer. Any sort of attacking option that could come off the bench, don't know who's out there

Robbie Brady till next summer simply to be a back up to digne, even of he was to only play 3 4 might be worth a shout

Two awful shouts I'm afraid.

Aurier isnt a whole lot of an improvement on Kenny tbh. Brady, when not injured, is very limited.

Unless they were on very small wages, which I doubt Aurier is on, it'd be a massuve swerve on both for me.

Brady lacks any pace as well and Benitez seems to like a lot of pace in his wide players (presumably you're not thinking of Brady in a playmaker role).

I'd be amazed if we weren't looking into bringing Jack back. Seems a no brainer on a free with low wages.

He is an absolutely huge improvement on Kenny. This is Kenny who was out of his depth in the SPL you’re talking about.

Who has been a successful free agent for us?

What lack of squad depth?

People keep saying we have a small squad, we dont.

Having a lot of players doesn’t mean your squad is strong or that it has depth.

Strong no, but it does suggest depth.

We have the numbers, we just lack quality in-depth and half the squad are injury-prone crocks.

We most certainly should not take him though.

Squad depth refers specifically to quality, not just numbers. It means that if a first team player gets injured, you can realistically replace him with a player that can do at least an acceptable job or even to a similar level. We are currently a Digne injury away from having no full backs that can compete at Premier League level. That isn’t squad depth.

Oh no, really we should have signed a good right back and Coleman would be his backup.

Is that you Jack?

Been worse signings than Townsend tbf

The discussion would be who should start Aurier or Coleman. Aurier might not be the best fullback ever but worse than Kenny my word

 

[lancs blue]

Sergio ramero is available for starters
