Must be umpteen examples of right footed pairings We could. I just think we won’t. We were only linked with Burn after we dropped our chase with Botman. We now have 2 right footed CBs and 2 left footed CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Hopefully there's no further glitches in this saga and I hope, being a young lad stepping up a league the fans give him time to settle if he needs it. There's a chance with his name being bandied about for so long people may expect a Beckenbauer from the off. Edited June 25, 2022 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that - Maldini will know a good defender when he sees one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust Shearers opinion on any player and SAF probably thinks Steve Bruce is a good manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Great. Another 2 signings after Botman and I would say it's been a very good window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Be interesting if we ever do play with Burn and Botman together Two right footed centre backs has been quite common but can't remember two lefties playing together at centre back before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I suspect they will in a 3 at times especially considering that there are 5 subs next season so plenty of opportunity to sub on extra defender for last 5 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking about the options in defence, with regards to game management is encouraging. We're not too bad in midfield, although I still think there is too much counter-attacking ability. And could do with a technically gifted player in the middle. Somebody who would climb a mountain for his best mate. "TUDOR! CANNIBAGA! EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NAME" Up front? Somebody with huge potential, like Ekitike. With a less startled Wood, should be enough cover for Wilson, barring a catastrophe. I'd welcome a new RW, of course. And nobody can ignore the fact that ASM is demanding better players in front of him, not behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t really say Schar was head and shoulders the better player. I think Burn was just as good, apart from the Spurs away game where he went full Wealdstone Raider, he was quality.

I've heard Howe likes a leftfooter on the left, so I guess he would want a right-footer on the right. I think Schar is a quality footballer who has chosen to be a defender, which is quite unique. I'm sure Botman is to replace Burn who was only bought because we couldn't secure Botman. But the position is Burn's to lose. I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty clear in Jan that Burn only came in when they realised that the Botman deal wasnt likely to go through, so absolutely expect him to take Burns place. As you say Howe likes his left footers on the left and right on the right, no brainer for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
