Dokko Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 If we don't sign a CB 100% botman is out for longer than expected and schar is sent off against Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 If we need a senior centre-half, one of Burn or Lascelles had to be sold. I don't think that was ever happening. Two senior left sided CBs, two right-sided ones. Dummett has been given a new contract so he has to be considered as one. The quality in depth will gradually improve.

Mazzy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Lascelles - Burn is such a alternate reality West Ham CB pairing from circa 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We’ve also got Alex Murphy, and he looks decent, would put him in ahead of Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I’m getting the feeling that if we lose Botman or Schar to injury the new narrative anytime we lose a game will be that we should have signed a CB Edited September 1, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if he's not in the 25 so he's a consideration by default. Either that or an expensive cheerleader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality in depth will gradually improve. The problem is, we would be selling them for at best £8-10m, and a replacement who is under 28 would cost at least £35m, and for that money they might not even be much better. Look at Harry McGuire, he's stupidly expensive, and he's basically a rich man's Lascelles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe1984 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 6 hours ago, Whitley mag said: The only thing that makes me doubt that is Howe’s preference for inverted wingers, does he see Gordon as two footed and able to play on right, time will tell. If not then Barnes is the signing with a question mark against it for me. Almiron, winger and one footed as they come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
