sempuki Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Might be wrong but think it may be a LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Seems like it'll surely be a CB? Seems to be what most of the journos are saying. After that I could see us adding a LB or RW... but only if a deal we really like comes available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 From what Howe implied after the game this last transfer may well drag on until the last few days of the window, maybe there’s a reason for that? You’d imagine it’ll be extra defence cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn is covering and he is a LCB. We are covered in the other positions. We can certainly improve on Lascelles but that would leave us with 3 RCBs. Whoever comes in, if anyone does, I've got total confidence in whatever they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Surely has to be a LB? I love Burn, but he just doesnt have the speed or offensive threat to play there at the top level. Targett hasnt proved himself either imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Have a feeling at this late stage Howe will favour signing a PL ready CB like Andersen, however Tapsoba, Todibo and Silva would be the ideal long term signing at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'll be very surprised if it's not a RCB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Tbf I think either a RCB or a LB would improve us significantly, so I’d be happy with either. Caulkin seems adamant it’s a LB but Mope reckons it’s a RCB. I reckon we’ll probably have the feelers out on a few players in each position and come the back end of next week we’ll assess our options. There’s no real urgency this week because any new signing would be unlikely to play v Man City anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I would rather a centre back as cover for Schar, I think tripps and livramento, when up to speed, can cover both flanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Get a CB in now and then in January try for a LB unless another position becomes more of a priority depending on how the season goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If Celtic finally pay us something for Fraser, we could easily go out and get a left back and/or centre back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Wonder if they will see this perfomance and think they don't need a Chiesa type in on loan after all?

Toonjam88 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We are a right centre half, left back and another attacking midfielder/right winger away from being a genuine title rival for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d imagine it’ll be extra defence cover. I would suggest that all clubs like a little wriggle room to be able to do business end of the window as now the season has started injuries can happen and therefore depending on how serious change your whole approach and priorities. Take Aston Villa for example. If they only had wriggle room to make a loan to buy like ourselves it seems (I know they don’t but you’ll see my point) then losing your main midfielder week leading up to your first game with an ACL and effectively putting him out for the season might of change their minds about getting another centre forward for argument sake but then Mings gets a bad injury first game and possibly another season ending ACL so that then might make them to go for another CH instead of midfielder. Loads of clubs will be seeing how the opening 3 or so games going to decide what they finally need which is when things will start to go wild in the transfer market you’d think. So in short cant see us getting anyone until after the Liverpool game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero chance we improve on Almiron at RW this window. Eddie loves him, quite rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
