The College Dropout Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 It wouldn't even be back-up. It would be someone ready-made to step in. If he's left-footed he can start at LB. I think most top teams have at least 3 top options. Dias Stones Ake Akanji Saliba Gabriel White Kiwior VVD Konate Matip Gomez Pau Carlos Konsa Mings Varane Martinez Maguire Evans Schar Botman Lascelles Burn Ours is the weakest by a distance.

I agree overall, but I don’t see us as weaker than Manure’s lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah depth at CB is increasing as the top teams start to play 3 CBs more often with one as a FB tucking in, in possession I made a comment in the Hall thread wondering what our long term plans will be for him going forward with this in mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 It's moreso that CB is such an important position. You can't have 1 injury causing a significant decline in ability. Especially when competing on 4 fronts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 The idea of signing a young, highly rated CB with a view to the future who could also potentially be our immediate LB upgrade is very intriguing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A keeper whose dislocated his shoulder is probably as important an area to replace as there is? Krul declined massively after he did his. The way we set up changes massively when Pope doesn't play. I don't think Pope had been great himself since his red card. I'd do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 (edited) If we get a new starting RW, new number 2 striker and a pacey new centre half we’ll be looking good. LB situation needs sorting though too whether that’s another playing coming on or whatever. We’re pretty well stacked in midfield especially with Tonali coming back and I’m sure we’ll re-sign Joelinton. Though we keep getting linked with that Ederson Brazilian midfielder.

I think Krul went downhill after the ACL after being moved on? I remember him being decent enough before that and noticeably worse after it. Didn’t even remember him doing his shoulder. Rafa moved him on as he was crap with his feet. Oh the irony here Worth mentioning Pope has done the same shoulder before and come back fine. But the fact it is the same shoulder would probably be a concern for him and the club alike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many of those bad years are just erased from my memory Anyway. Bit weird to link it to Pope. Who has come back fine from this injury before. I think it would be more if our medical team (no laughing) think it is likely to reoccur for a third time. Or if Pope himself has any mental or physical issues with it second time around.

Lush Vlad Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 (edited) Was Elliot playing in Krul’s absence when he was injured? Don’t remember him taking over as number one. But I do remember him playing a lot more often than he should have been. He was crap. Edited March 9, 2024 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 Elliot was the definition of a backup, average at all aspects of goalkeeping, but English and good for the qota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t the first time Pope has dislocated his shoulder. Considering the FFP limitations we should probably give Pope a chance to prove himself.
