…..with Tarkowski and Branthwaite both possibly vulnerable to injury, he could be required at CB.

Of course injuries will change tactics but he passes the eye test at RB for me so if everyones fit I'm more than happy with him starting there.

…..no doubt he’s very decent there but I’d prefer it if we bring in a really effective RB.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

JOB actually looks far more comfortable at RB than CB atm. I'd be more than happy with him starting there for the foreseeable.

He is good in the system we’ve been using him for but he’s not the pacey over-lapping type which we need tbh

Yes, this is my point also

Same. Don't think we need a starting RB right now

 

[Frenk]

So we are aiming high, but not meeting valuations. Sounds like a recipe for disaster if you have no other targets.

 

[TheNinja]

He had 1 recorded cross into the box last season, hence longer term I think he is probably more a no.10 playmaker type than a winger

Yeh, he seems not to be a touchline/byline player. Does find himself centrally quite often. I think the days of byline crosses into the box are largely gone with inverted wingers being the current trend

I'd prefer JOB over Patterson and Coleman but we also need a more attacking full back to replace JOB. He's done well but we need better. Feels harsh but yeah.

Sign an experienced CB on a free? If only Jonny Evans hadn't retired

 

[pfim]

Fair enough, give me options!

Douglas Luiz

There’s a real chance that we don’t sign any of our targets.

Surely Kinnear has to go if this happens?

Agree, but not a priority in the short term imo

This is fine, but it does mean you need full backs willing and able to provide width.

We've signed an attacking left back, but Dibling (as much as I'd like him here) would mean we'd need a right back capable of overlapping effectively, and I suspect decent money being spent on the position.

 

[BITTER TWISTED & BLUE]

I mean this looks quality. Should be capable of a top half finish if those couple of positions get filled.

May lack squad depth underneath that so that’s where the late loans will need to come in to the equation.

Why are they all facing Pickford's goal?
Oh I get it,it’s the direction most of them are normally facing.

I disagree, especially if we are choosing to go with someone like Dibling for RW.
