Dokko Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If we spend £20m or so on two defenders we'd honestly look like we want to do something. It could be a case we've got our sights set on a big defensive name, but they've been put off by our squad. Bet a few more are interested now.

henke Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If were to sign Abdennour I believe I'm to buy two season tickets, I can't even remember what my ludicrous claim was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 A decent centre half will see this the most successful transfer window in recent times. Failure to do so would see us carry on leaking. Pretty important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm genuinely thinking that we have bigger problems at LB and RB. Obviously we need a new starting CB to replace Colo, but doesn't matter who is in the middle when they will get constantly raped from the side. Haidara seems to have gone backwards and looks like a rabbit in headlights, yet he is still better than dummett. Janmaat looks shakey but will hopefully come back to form. We have no-one to push him for a starting spot though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Matip looked good for schalke last weekend. He ran out of defence with ball twice and played defence splitting passes to the striker who scored from both passes. Got to go for him. He's a defender and a creative midfielder in one.

toontownman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 New CB in January maybe? Really need a starting LB in the least right now. Need a starting LB, starting CB and up and coming RB to push Janmaat in that order imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 A decent centre half will see this the most successful transfer window in recent times. Failure to do so would see us carry on leaking. Pretty important. We need someone who can play at FB, Colo isn't being dropped and you could argue that Lascelles gives us more cover. If we get that someone to cover at FB then I would be inclined to say that this has been our most successful window under Ashley. It doesn't exactly take much beating, but still.

Pretty important. I could live without a CB if we could get an actual capable LB. If we did somehow get a CB and no LB, then would Colo work as a Temporary LB?

Lets pray! Keegan did alright with a duff defence. Anyway, we've added two central defenders to the squad not just the one, and still have Good, Satka, Damnit, Tayls, Williamson and Colo fighting it out. Imagine we need to get rid of a couple before expecting another one in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Dummett is far better defender than Haidara man. Maybe not nearly as exciting going forward, which I'd take given how many goals we leak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If we had Thauvin and Aarons on the wings, i don't think i'd care about Dummett's lack of ability going forward anyway tbh. It was only a problem before when Aarons was the only winger in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Colo signing the new contract must have ruled out any move for a cb, which is a shame because the weakness in the air is all too apparent in that department. We've already conceded 3 goals to headers albeit Janmaat was responsible for one of them, and we are only 2 games in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
