LFEE Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 28 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Bit if unrest in the camp? No just the transfer window is open and everyone is after CP players. Only natural for him to be busy with DF discussing options and targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big deal in isolation, but it's a big reminder of how thin we are at CB. Imagine if it was a major injury and we were going with Burn, Kelly and Krafth for a couple of months? Probably fine in games like Saturday holding on against Southampton but the top 8 clubs would fancy that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally have too many centre backs, the quality is questionable no doubt and the injury’s in the medium term present challenges but come Christmas we will have more defenders than we know what to do with.

We’ll have 2 coming back from CL injuries, a new one now also future proofs us to a degree as Guehi is part of the spine for years to come (if it’s him we get).

For 6 months. Krafth, Lascelles, Schar and Burn are all in their final year. IMO probably only 2 of Krafth, Lascelles, Burn and Schar will end up staying. Only have Botman and Kelly on long term deals. So there might be a glut for a few months, but then a problem next summer. May as well fix now.

We simply cannot afford to let serviceable players leave and to have to shell out transfer fees for replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallsendlad1952 Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 Should we not be successful and get Guehi signed, let's hope we don't sign Gomez in desperation. Even the scousers don't rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 If we don't get Guehi and sign Gomez given Mitchell has claimed he treats the owners money like own, I imagine he spends 75% of his wage on booze and pizza in the first weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BermyToon Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 Aren't there no half decent centre halves that we could sign on loan for six months till Botman and Lascelles return from injury? Don't like the idea of overpaying for Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
