This is the problem with trying to define 'poor concentration'. We've now strayed in to just listing all our mediocre-to-shit defenders where regular mistakes were a given, rather than generally quality defenders who have lapses.

I know the information was very vague but joeyt has mentioned him It was Esteban Cardona Lopez, incredible name but sadly did nowt

Arsenal obviously would like him, they are using their mouthpiece media to try to unsettle him. Part of their long game of knocking the price down well before the bid actually comes in Sir Jim Ratshit-style.

Think he was described as mentally unhinged rather than lacking concentration

Maybe but I don't really remember that being a common criticism. He just wasn't very good so his normal performance was an adventure in defending.

I feel like 18 years olds shouldn't be allowed a tattoo with the phrase "Never give up on your dreams" tbh, you're literally 12 hours into being an adult ffs

See the latest page of the Longstaff thread, though I get your point.

Estaban Lopez was my favourite https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/esteban-hopes-follow-footsteps-tino-1360964

Shocking tattoo but class lad. I would keep him next season at the moment, bring him on towards the end of games instead of Longstaff. Depends on any midfield signings of course.

Might need some more details their chief, as that is limiting the search to anyone who has ever come through the youth team

In terms of whether he should actually go on loan or not though, I can see the argument for it. A year away whilst he finishes developing, regularly playing competitive football and ready to come back the next year, I can see that. He did seem to play more minutes this year than would be ideal for him due to our injuries, but then again he did take his chance. I suppose it depends how and whether we strengthen the midfield with more first team hardened players, as he'd probably feel like he'd gone backwards with what could well then be fewer first team minutes. I'd have been tempted to keep him here personally, but that's heart rather than head and logically a good season in say the championship, might be the right thing.

Steven Taylor?

This is the ideal signing tbh, especially given the PSR situation. If it comes off it just shows how good our team is these days without Garden Man Dan.

Assuming we get Tosin and Kelly it’d be interesting to see how much outlay we have for RW and striker.

I was going to mention that but I didn't want to get into the debate

This doens't help us much. May have to buy a GK from a different team now instead, if this is all we're getting.

Time yet…

He is linked with us all the time, is he actually worth the expense? Is he as good a Botman.

Probably better than Lascelles and has a bit pace/youth about him so for nowt bar agents fees and that you can’t really complain too much.

Just read Wrexham have plans to eventually get their capacity to 55000. We really should try get near 70000. 60000 is probably ok on the current site but any plans for a new stadium should try get 70-75000 people in.

Aye just watched some clips of Boumsong. Probably not the best example 😂 Bramble would probably fit into it. I remember him having the attributes. Everything but a brain.

I had more strength in my piss than Boum.

I wonder if there are player liaison officers at the club who'd have a list of decent tattooers for players. Most people's first tattoos are a bit shit, but that's a pretty big one .

David de Gea could go from being the best shot stopper in the world for a while, into a period of making a series of embarassing mistakes.

Be a cracking addiction this as would Kelly! Two great frees and gives us huge wiggle room for other areas!
