I doubt if he knows as much as some of the posters on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Our lack of pace in defence won't be solved with just one player, like. We need it as an option but if 1 of 4 defenders is the only one with proper legs then there are still plenty of targets to hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Tierney is the second fastest defender in the league behind Walker apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Anyone got any suggestions as to finding a centre half with blistering pace but is also as good as Schar/Botman at defending and distribution? Or are people suggesting just sticking Usain Bolt back there? Edited July 27, 2023 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness there are probably quite a lot out there, fortunately that’s why we have a whole team of scouts and don’t have to find them ourselves.

kingxlnc Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Tierney on loan to buy Todibo Lavia (ideal world) then Chiesa on loan to buy Pace problem sorted Don't think Lavia is realistic but others possibly are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird, that the lack of pace was mentioned as a problem already when Botman was signed. Burn with him there is really a target. Was not a big problem last year, when we pressed well enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of love how he's just refused to learn the language despite being seven years into his career in two different English speaking countries. And some people want him to start using his right foot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Unsurprisingly, for here, some people think Tripps, Schar, Botman and Burn aren't good (fast) enough, ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope despite being relatively poor with his feet is quick off his line and has absolutely no fear. kin hell man, if pope was good with his feet he would be legitimately world class.

Don't really know that do they have to be? And we are not signing a starting CB anyway, well maybe Disasi can be starter.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
