Re: the slide tackling in the video. Surely it’s just because it’s the most flashy/high risk move a defender can do? 

 

Let’s not start some narrative that he “goes to ground regularly” because of some shit video with shit music put together by a teenager showing him slide tackling over and over again as a highlight reel. :lol:

Because of what turned into over a decade of stocking up on Uzbek talents playing FM, I have had a vested interested in Uzbek footy for a while :lol: With that in mind, I'd cream my pants if we signed Khusanov.

I think a lot of CBs are scared to go to front because it can make them look silly. 
 

I love VVD and Saliba. But they both do this thing where they back off from an attacker because they don’t want to get embarrassed. 

 

Was watching Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Neville's Gogglebox thing and he said he loved physical defenders of the past because they'd get touch tight and he could spin off of them and get a shot off but when the likes of Rio Ferdinand started appearing on the scene, he didn't know what to do as they gave him more time and altered his decision making.

Hasselbaink was powerfully built and could hold them off though, so that was his advantage. Doesn't apply to all strikers.

 

There's always been a place for the likes of Rio's partner, Vidic. Uncompromising, physical defenders that are strong in the tackle.

Good point but I think there’s a middle ground.

I think John Terry was a master of positioning himself so your options as an attacker just decreased by the second. 

John Terry is one who had a great balance. If he had to slide, block etc. he would but also was composed and had great positioning. Always playing in a compact team in a mid to low block helped too.  
 

Rudigers one of my favourite defenders atm. Very under rated I think.  Doesn’t get the credit he deserves for his overall football ability and non-physical defensive awareness and positioning. Not afraid to crunch an attacker when needed.

Aye, 100% agree. Best combination is to have a ball player like Rio and a tackler like Vidic. In today's game Saliba and Gabriel are probably the reference of what a centre back partnership should be.

Yeah, Rio and Vidic were such a great pairing, as they balanced each other out nicely.

 

I've always liked having at least one centre back that is more aggressive and attacks everything.

Wouldn’t mind a young quality CB with potential and Kolo-Muani in on loan if possible at all. Providing that he checks the boxes regarding character and such important things. His versatility and quality is not in question. Would prefer only permanent signings but I doubt we can get two. 

K-M because we only have Isak -

as Osula is nowhere near ready. 

(I guess his wages are at around 200k though?)

I've never seen him play but Khusanov seems like the absolute right profile of player we should be targeting at CB.

 

Come in with the plan for him to slot in behind Schar and take over for him at the start of next season. If he comes in and is an absolute colossus from day one and takes over sooner all the better but a bedding in period seems the most likely outcome.

Could probably sign Khusanov, Bah and Dibling for the  price of Guehi, it’s definitely the way forward in the current financial situation.
 

 


Is Dibling out of contract in the summer?

Not until 2027, but when Southampton go down the rumours are that he could be available for similar for what we paid for Hall or slightly less.


Fair one. Imagine he’d have a bucket load of suitors though. Probably Chelsea.

We signed Dan Burn for 14m. Where are those signings now? :lol:

 

An absolute bargain in retrospect.

 

I'd love us to not be afraid to think outside the box. Especially if we may have Europe on the cards next year. I'm not saying we shouldn't primarily sign young players to improve but there's something to be said for finding experienced players who aren't as expensive or coming to the end of their contracts etc.

 

Is there someone on loan we could attract? A striker to see us through to the summer in case Isak breaks?

 

Thoughts and ramblings perhaps but I just hope the club doesn't become narrow minded.

We got the ultimate deal with Kelly and all anyone has done on here is bitch about him. :lol: 

Aye he's looked absolutely shite but I'm not going to give up on him.

 

I remember what Krafth was like before Howe.[emoji38]

 

Next season i reckon we see a different player.
