healthyaddiction Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We'd still be lacking a left back but I can't say I'd cry myself to sleep if we signed that. I can't see it happening though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, What we WANT and what we GET tend to be 2 entirely different things. Us needing Centre Backs has been the topic of conversation for the past 6 transfer Windows..

You need all of that, probably. Cissé looks like a goner. If Cisse goes then yeah, but now we have Mitrovic I don't see the need for someone like Austin as they seemingly do similar things. If we have to replace Cisse I'd prefer now we have Mitrovic to get someone with more pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formation wise I couldn't see it working but player wise I think they could work well with Mitrovic playing the Zamora role. Noticed he lays a lot off with chest and head.

Not sure there should be a priority for a LB, over those positions. LB is not as impactful a position and one we have in desperate need that CB, winger and another striker. Personally I'm fine with Haidara and Dummett back him up for now, if we have money left over to upgrade then fine but I'd rather see those other positions upgraded first.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Depends who the LB is tbf, if it's someone who can actually cross a ball then it could be very impactful. I just think we are much weaker at that position than we are upfront now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm assuming one of the CBs is Mbemba, then another one to relegate Dummett to a substitute. A winger should be a priority after the first CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yep, a quality LB with end product (crossing) has more of an impact than a striker sitting on the bench imo. Add another quality striker and no fucking way will he or Mitrovic wanna spend time on the bench. We're not up there with the top clubs that we're able to have many quality strikers, especially if we plan to play only one at the time (With Cissé staying) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Pato? Finished at European level unfortunately. At 25 he surely deserves another chance. If his stock is low, I could see us trying a cheeky bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
