On the face of it, based on all reports it seems an easy deal to do, think it may have already been done if we held a genuine interest. Waiting on Milan to bring in a replacement?

Bunk Moreland Posted July 22, 2024 Share Posted July 22, 2024 Di Marzio is pretty reliable for Milan isn't he? Wonder if this was one of the targets Mitchell was working on before he officially joined us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitude20 Posted July 22, 2024 Share Posted July 22, 2024 So once Botman recovers, how are we going to play him, Schar, Burn, Kelly, and Thiaw as CBs with a game per week? That’s five of them. Isn’t that too much? I don’t know but it feels like getting Barnes for a LW all over again when we could have invested that money in other positions. Burn and Kelly shouldn’t play as LBs in my humble opinion, Tino should play there if Trippier is still with us next season, and Hall should be our second option. Burn and Kelly could be our 3rd/ 4th options. I think we should prioritize our budget for a RW and a forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar and Burn will be 33 by the end of the season, the only fit alternative at the minute is Kelly. We we'd be taking a huge gamble not going for a defender now.

Botman will miss half the season and will be eased back in, he might not be a first team regular at all next season. I’m expecting Kelly to be our starting LB with Livramento/Hall as backup. Then the expectation is that we’ll qualify for Europe, Burn is looking old as it is, and the reliance on Schar is too much, it would be a disaster if he got injured.

Kelly will be starting most of our games as LB this season imo, he has all the attributes that Howe likes in Burn there and more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe hasn’t felt like he’s ready to earn than spot yet, I think that’s fair.. he’s seen far more of this lad than we have. He did look good at the end of the last season but he was played there more of a needs must due to the injuries across the back line, he has some work to do on his defensive side of the game for me. We all want him to succeed and with time he likely will, let’s not try and force it though. Edited July 22, 2024 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also playing a full part in pre season. We should be getting Burn out the side imo. Kelly CB next to Schar, Hall LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
