Toon88 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Saw some French media claiming Jean-Clair Todibo has been identified as our main CB target. Disasi no longer of interest. OGCN value @€40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are gonna need a left back that can get up and down the park who can get involved in these famous Barnes 1-2’s That’s mainly going to be coming from the forward or left sided 8 though surely. If our left back is spending the game in the half spaces on the edge of the oppositions area, our defensive record is going to be pretty shocking Edited July 21, 2023 by Ghandis Flip-Flop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Going back to the previous page. I don't anyone is disrespecting Schar, he was out best defender last season. It's more and acceptance he isn't getting any younger and will need to be rotated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Howe really likes the back line we played with last season and isn’t in a rush to change any of them, however he knows that age is going to catch up with most of them sooner rather than later. The sensible thing to do is what he is looking to do with Livramento, bring in a young player with potential that can gradually replace the current player in that position over a period of up to 2 years. I think he might look to do the same with CB and LB this summer too if he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 With young cheap lb what we’re looking for surprised we didn’t rival Bournemouth for Kerkez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 My guess is that as soon as we sign Livramento, Manquillo will be given permission to go back to Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 So providing we tie up Livramento, what's next on the priority list? We still look a bit short on quality/quantity in RCB, LB, CM and RW, but obviously we don't address all of that in one window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think if we get either a left-back or another centre-back we'll be great again. A left-back would put Burn back into central-defence, a centre-back strengthens that group but keeps Burn as a left-back which isn't perfect but hopefully gets us by for one more year.

Toon88 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 CB is top priority now. Todibo is the linked for €40m. Can’t see Andersen being pursued. Can’t see us signing anyone at LB now. We don’t need any more wingers. That will be next summer, when we upgrade the RW, and shift Almiron/Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I don’t see us being short in the centre of midfield, in fact I can’t remember us ever having this much depth in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 If we've decided to to stick with Burn and Targett... It has to be a CB, that way we can stick with Burn at LB for now but still have depth with Schar, Botman and Lascelles if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they would be sixth choice, the worst case you change the midfield slightly to play 4-2-3-1 if we have that many injuries. If we are not going to give Anderson and Miley a route to the first team even as sixth choice then youngsters will go to rivals instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Chiesa for me has become the new Szobszolai who was the new Maddison who was the new Pacqueta Let's hope for a better end result! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Livramento and a top quality left wing back and that's us done I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff, Anderson, Miley.... I can't see us getting a CM, especially when we could easily switch to a 4231 and deploy a number 10: Gordon, Barnes, Isak, Joelinton etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Am sure Gordon came on and played as one of the midfield 3 in one of his earlier games for us. Obviously not going to be wanting to do that often but think he can do a job there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
