Don't know much about him, but anything that sees Dummett further away from the starting 11 is good news.

 

Wrong.

He's an awful footballer. Contributes absolutely nothing other than being a stopper.  If he wasn't a local lad he'd get way more criticism. 

 

If we can improve on him we absolutely should.

The premise of your argument is sound. No doubt we should look to improve. My issue, and Im not sure if there was extenuating circumstances as to why it happened, but Timmy Chandler (RB) was getting time above Willems at LB. Considering Chandler couldnt get a look in, while in his prime, over Yedlin going back over the last few years for USA. That is why I am reluctant to think this is an upgrade at all.

 

Kind of like the link to Krafth. I dont see any reason to think he is superior to either of the RB's we have. Just seems sideways moves to make sideways moves in the guise of actual improvement upon the guys we already have.

If we stick with 3 at the back these two won't clash in positions anyhoo, if we switch to 4 then they will.

 

Think we'll see them both, Dummett left centre half and Jetro left wing back, rotated with Ritchie in the wing back position.

We have 4 centre halves better than PD though. 5 actually.

Just seen this on Newcastle’s Facebook feed after the Willems announcement. No irony or hint that he’s joking...

 

“Won’t get a look in, Dummett’s a top class premier league left back who would get in any side with the exception of Liverpool.“

Now that's ridiculous, but also is the same on here who think he's absolute dogshite.

He is dogshite.

 

The team second half of last season was transformed when we went to wing-backs and two ball playing CBs. Just having Ritchie on the left (who was slightly above average) comfortable on the ball made is so much better. Once Lejeune was injured and Dummett got back in the side, we lost a lot in the way we came out from defence.
