GeordieDazzler Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Figured this would be the case when there was nothing done at the West Ham game for him yet we got a ten minute interview with Krafty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Sensible move for one last year given the sheer volume of deals needed elsewhere in the squad. No Europe, one game per week means we’ll only see him for cup games in all likelihood anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting a year allows us to both prioritise other positions and perform a very thorough analysis of the Burn/Schar replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Pretty sure we’ll see Botman and Thiaw as our league pairing with Burn and Schar as backups. Given we’re likely to need a couple of keepers, a couple of full backs, a CM, at least one winger and a striker, I think we’ll have to make do with our CBs for another year.

STM Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Good decision. Weve got 4 good CBs, id like to add a young CB into that group to grow into the team. Once the rest of the side is performing and has the correct balance, they should thrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cardigan Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 1 minute ago, Optimistic Nut said: Burn moving on? Surely we're not going another season with the same 4? Absolutely no chance. Think it just shows how many players are needed elsewhere. Hopefully Ross Wilson can find a quality 18-20 year old CB for cheap who could play some minutes in the Carabao.

gjohnson Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 FS has to have been one of the best value signings ever. Must be one of the most skilled cbs we've ever had in terms of ability. Shame he wasn't 10 yrs younger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we’re likely to need a couple of keepers, a couple of full backs, a CM, at least one winger and a striker, I think we’ll have to make do with our CBs for another year. That was my thinking. Thats before replacements of any unexpected outgoings too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Think it's a massive gamble. We can't be 100% sure on Botman's fitness, Burn has declined and Schar has missed loads. The latter two are mid 30s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 We’ll get a 21 year old (there or thereabouts) who is highly touted and that’ll be our defence going into next season, and unless Schar leaves. We’ll have significantly reduced demands on the squad next season with no Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a helluva lot of pressure on Botman & Thiaw I reckon. Ideally we needed someone to push those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
