Mikky Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 1 minute ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: TBH I doubt pace will be the number one priority. It would be great if we could find a CB who can pass and duel like Anderson and beat Darwin Nunez in a race. But if that player exists it’s more likely he’s signing for Real Madrid or out of our price range. We’ll need to stop the defence being exposed rather than rely on their individual speed. Anderson has decent pace - positionally and his general reading of the game is very good - his distribution is excellent also Gives us some good opinions at the back if we form into a 3 Anderson - Schar - Botman Anderson - Botman - Burn Schar - Botman - Burn etc plus we still have Lascelles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was just an illustration if we play 433 with Burn (or Botman very occasionally) tucking in to make it a 3- then Big Joe playing slightly to the left with Gordon/Barnes ahead Trippier/Livramento as RB Pretty much last seasons set up albeit with another quality defender in Anderson giving us further options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I really think that potentially Alex Murphy could step up following what I’ve seen so far. If we’re looking to bring in one more signing, I have to say I’d op for a left-back.

Chris L Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 After seeing highlights from pre season and watching yesterdays game. I really hope we are in for a solid left back. Burn looks very slow and Targett imo was terrible yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Tierney can’t even get a game when Zinchenko isn’t playing. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us revisit a move for him later in the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett on the other hand…I simply don’t think we should take such a risk. A new left back and sell him asap please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Need a fast centre back for me. Schar is getting on (niggles?) and Lascelles tries his best but just doesn't make the cut... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Can't help but think we should have signed a young up and coming striker to learn from Wilson this season, play a few cup games etc. I don't think Wilson will be here next year and we do seem a bit light up front, we know Wilson will only feature or be fit for about 70% of the games this year and with the extra ones we have it is a big ask for Isak to run the line for all of them for the majority, I do think he will be first choice. I just think it would have been a good opportunity to get a young lad in to learn the trade, and get him ready for next season, no idea who but a bit disappointed the scouting team having got anyone in yet.
