Summer transfer window.

I could see why they’d want Delap, although I wouldn’t sign him

It doesn’t seem Moyes or the clubs style to sign on over 30 crock like stones

White would depend on price, and if they couldn’t get an actual full back - can’t see that one either personally

….indication is Stones is asking for a big signing fee, Ake seems more likely to me given Branthwaite’s fragility and can cover at LB.
 
I’d have no problem with Stones signing (on our terms) if we had not just given Keane an extension. However with Keane and Tarky getting on, seems odd to add another aged (injury prone) CB.

If we bring in a centre back I’d go all out for Esteve from Burnley, left footed, premier league experience (which the manager would like) 6ft3, solid player and has a lot of room left to develop. Think he could become an elite CB.

I actually think Ben White would be a decent addition as a squad player. Right age - unsure of his attitude. Doubt he’d want to be a squad player mind.

What's supposedly wrong with his attitude?
One incident with England and everyone seems to think he's a problem. Never been the case at POSH, Leeds, Brighton or Arsenal. Think the media has made your mind up for you.
 
Opinion of one it seems, but I think Delap would do well at Everton. We'd need to get better at putting crosses into the box but, despite his form for Chelsea this year [which everybody knew was a dreadful move for him so young], he's an upgrade on Barry and to my mind, has more finesse and technical ability than Beto. In the right set up, I think Delap could bag 12-15 a year.

Ben White would be a hard no from me.
 
A pretty predictable list of players, hoping it’s just media talk.

Is it that difficult, with all the technology and resources, to find a natural, quality right back that can greatly improve our defence and not having to rely again on a “ that will have to do” attitude that has set us back so many times over the years and yet again having some fans trying to justify it with the “it’s fine. We will be fine “ routine?

I thought there was a sort of restructuring of the recruitment? It doesn’t look like it to me.
