The Prophet Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 According to Mr Waugh, the Kelly deal isn't as advanced as Tosin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Matt1892 said: I expect him to be our first choice left back once he settles in. Kelly - Botman - Tosin - Livra back three in attack to let Livra get forward (after Trips moves on). Edited May 13 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BermyToon Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I feel like we have enough LBs already. CB should be priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main position is CB - he can just play LB similar to Burn. Burn/Schar/Lascelles/Dummett are all leaving/will be leaving soon - this is a great signing.

Kimbo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) The only proper LB we have is Targett and he can’t play/needs to go. Dummett is leaving. Burn is a CB converted to LB, and his days at LB are numbered IMO. Hall is a CM in the process of being converted to LB, and it’s going to take time. Livramento is a RB that’s talented enough to do a job wherever. Kelly gives us versatility and another player that can do a good job there until Hall is ready to be a nailed on starter.

Deuce Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I like the flexibility Kelly brings. I dunno if he’s a guy we want as first-choice over the long run, but he’s a PL-quality CB who can also plug in at LB. At LB, he lets us go to a back 3 in attack, as Howe seems to like. Botman New CB Kelly Tosin That’s very good depth over the next few years. Edited May 13 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Also a good stop gap if Botman does not come the same after his knee surgery. Improves the general quality in the squad. Just not sure on that injury record and Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Likes a slide tackle obviously. Echo the sentiment about his highlights there. I saw a bunch of situations where he’s lunged in needlessly but that’s just the clip we’re looking at. He could well be better than that. Hard to tell if we do that last ditch defending as much as Bournemouth. I much prefer seeing clips of players just reading the game and snuffing out passes, Botmans was like that and Tosin’s too.

We are bound to be a bit cautious due to our constraints. In hindsight even without factoring in the injuries if they regret keeping Targett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 22 minutes ago, TRC said: Yeah I don't think we can talk to him officially until 1st July Domestic end of contracts can sign a pre contract a month before their contract expires, so I think Tosin and Kelly can actually sign a deal on 1st June, with us or whoever gazumps us. Think we can speak to them beforehand - press seem to be saying we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Especially with how Hall has (hopefully) made that LB spot his own, this is the perfect kind of squad filler we need. If we get Kelly and Tosin on frees what else do we truly need in defence going in to next season? A true challenger for Pope and a backup CB for until Sven is back up to speed? So much budget on midfield/attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
