Can we actually...er...defend then?

We were after him when he was at Chelsea, as well, under Roeder I think?

 

Apparently he suddenly became a shit footballer while at Stamford Bridge though.

 

People will learn, someday.

To be fair he would of been given the chance or faith from the fans to become the player he is now. Traore is a player id be interested in, although i dont nknow how he is defensively.

Beye and Enrique are both average, decent defensively but offer nothing going forward which is causing us problems when our wingers get tightly marked.

 

Shame we can't do a swap for Portsmouth's fullbacks and get Glen Johnson and Armand Traore. (I know Traore is on loan from Arsenal btw)

 

Traore's been playing on the wing for them this season usually. Belhadj and occasionally Pamarot have been the leftbacks.

 

True. Belhadj has looked a very decent player as well. Johnson has been fantastic pretty much every time I've seen them though. He was worse than shite when we were linked with him a few years back if you believed people on here, though!

 

Belhadj is very exciting going forwards, and fast as fuck to boot, but his positional sense is questionable to say the very least. Johnson has been excellent this year, I know a lot of Pompey fans who want him on the wing though.

I love how all attacking fullbacks get tarred with the "no positional sense" brush.

 

It's hard to hold a good defensive position when you're bombing up the wing at your leisure
