Having reliable versatile players who are willing to, in the main, be on the bench is really important. Add to this Murphy’s positive role in the squad and he’s the next Matt R. I like him a lot myself but when needs must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 CB's then... Presume the injury to Botman will have pushed the young/talented CB singing up the list of priority? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 The Botman news has to fundamentally change our summer plans unless we already planned to invest in one. Or.... Burn is a CB again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not yet hit his peak years age wise either. lots of people want rid seemingly, but we have to become better sellers, not just get rid for any price sellers.

janpawel Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Tosin at Fulham is on a free this summer too? Can't say I know much of him but him and Kelly wouldn't be a bad idea I guess if we are hamstrung with FFP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 OK we'll have Ramsdale Branthwaite Paqueta Toney for starters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Spurs (maybe not now after Dragusin, but Van de Ven is never fit) and Liverpool are genuinely interested. Then we can forget that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Colwill should be the CB we go all out for, especially if Chelsea need to sell a HG. Big potential, also capable playing LB if needed when we have full availability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely we will see Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Lloyd Kelly is a LCB I think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 With Tonali coming back in the summer at this point I’d blow the whole budget on LB, CB and right forward. Without Botman think the whole team will be built on quick sand next season without serious investment in the back line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 It's been said before, but bringing in Kelly and Tosin on free transfers would be decent business and help our defensive issues no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So how I see it in: 2x CB's. A one of them left footer DM. To replace Bruno? Or to free him higher? I doubt this will happen though... RW. Left footed right winger, who likes to drift inside to space in front of defence and leave space for Tino/Tripps to run Striker: Younger option behind Isak-Wilson and who can also cover right wing. I would say CBs and RW are a must. Out: Almiron (I think this is certain) Dummett (or Targett?) Ritchie Karius/Gillespie/Dubravka (2 of these?) Hopefully Fraser, Hendrick (out of contract anyway), Hayden and Lewis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
