bowlingcrofty Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't understand the following: a) Why people are complaining about a cheap backup option. b) Why people laugh at the thought of opening the bidding as low as possible and trying to get the player in at the cheapest possible price I can only assume that for a) people are a bit dumb and b) too much Football Manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Never seen him play BUT we need a CB, that much is clear I think it makes sense to go for a cheap option now and then spend bigger in the summer when it will be easier to buy (Mbiwa for example) and more options available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact I know even less about Mbiwa than this Mariappa bloke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor and Colo will be first choice, with Williamson, Mariappa and Perch being backup. This signing would also help bring up the number of homegrown players we have, which is needed for the Premier League and the off chance we get in to Europe.

themanupstairs Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 can he also cover RB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Does anyone think this lad will start ahead of Williamson? If not then what's the point of signing him if he is going to be our only CB signing this window. We need a CB that can go in alongside Colo and make us a stronger defensive unit.

SUPERTOON Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 What i don't get is that we won't pay big money now for a top quality centre back, instead we are looking to pay a couple of million for a worse option. However come the summer we are still hoping to get a top CB in for a couple of million cheaper than this month. Surely though it will work out around the same price, paying a bit extra now for one instead of signing two for the price of one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We need another CB as good as Taylor really, one who can compete with him and maybe take his place. At the same time, I'm not going to complain about strengthening the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Trust our scouting system who are doing ok atm I 100% trust Carr that does not mean MA will go after the top player Carr recommends, do you honestly think this lad was even in Carr's top 5 CB recommendations?

Guest MrSundlofer Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 can he also cover RB? "That impressive total is part of over 200 Watford appearances for the Academy product, some of which coming at his less-favoured right-back position."

That is what i thought, but Douglas and Ryder seem to think we will be going for another in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Happy with signing one of the Championships best as 4th choice centre back. We are 1 injury or suspension off Perch right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
