Elliottman 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. 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? Certainly has a bit more leeway in that position. Colo would make a terrible left back. Please explain? He's got to be used as he's captain, I just think he'd be less of a liability there.

I just don't feel he's suitable for the position at all and has also never played left back in his career to my knowledge. If we insisted on starting him it'd be as an anchor in 3 man midfield. He's already done that position and was ripped to shreds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Would be so typical us if we don't sign any more defenders despite spending £50m and only getting one CB Our season f***ing makes or breaks depending on this. Lets pray! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
TRon 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. I think a left back is more realistic to be honest. I can't see colo being dropped right away and I can't see a new centre half sitting on the bench. 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...

Hope not, 1 more year, expecting Williamson to go, handy off the bench, maybe decent influence in the dressing room, Abdennour learnt Spanish expecting a move to barce ?

It was only a problem before when Aarons was the only winger in the squad. Exactly with you. might be a blessing in disguise, or maybe it's what mclaren is aiming for...have a solid back 4 sitting together and the full backs not wandering much then leave the goals and shit to sissoko, wijnaldum, thauvin, aarons, mitrovic and hopefully perez...basically an attacking front 6 and a static back 4 until they're able to fucking defend as a unit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not that I want this but Didn't Mbmeba also play LB? What if we sign Abdennour and pair him with PoloColo and Janmaat right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If we went with a more static back 4 then no reason having a right footed left back should be that much of an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only manure conceded less goals so it's a misnomer that we had a duff defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not completely unlikely, we were linked with him pre Liverpool though weren't we. Why do they want rid, though he got rave reviews last season. No thanks. Normally in a central defender, you can overlook their lack of skill on the ball if they're sufficiently strong in the basics of defending. With Sakho, I'd make an exception. He's one of the clumsiest players in the league. Liverpool are usually better than their opposition, so his blunders aren't too frequent or costly (though it looks like they're fed up with him now). With us, he'd be exposed far more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I like Sakho, he's good in the air and quick. Mbemba appears to have the skillset of a good sweeper too, could be well matched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sorry to disagree but I work in Liverpool and the general consensus is that he is a disaster waiting to happen, can look solid but always has a mistake in him and has the control of a fox in a henhouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
