Nate Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 There's no doubt Nolberto has been somewhat of a revelation at right-back this year, but do you think he's good enough to keep the position next season? Right-back has seemingly slipped down the list of priorities in the Summer and with Roeder continually talking up Carr i suspect he thinks we already have enough strength in that area. I am undecided wether we need to spend a share of our supposedly limited budget on someone of Lucas Neill's ilk, or take a gamble on a young full-back from the lower leagues to shadow Solano for a couple of seasons and eventually takeover from him.

juniatmoko Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 second choice... require younger RB... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 As things are right now, first choice RB! Next season fter Carr leaves and with any luck we buy a new top RB, then Nobby should be 2nd choice RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonufc Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ideally we'll get a new RB and he will be back up. That probabaly won't happen though as Roeder seems to be happy with Carr and Solano. Solano's a decent enough RB for now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 1st choice with a quality youngster from the lower leagues as his back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Even if Carr were to go, which won't happen, we'd have cover in the area anyway with Taylor and Ramage - albeit fairly shoddy. But Nobby is very accomplished in that position, and although he's getting on a bit now, he doesn't get that many injuries. I'd be happy to see him installed as the first choice right-back, so that we can focus the cash on more pressing defensive needs. It's the other wing that needs serious investment. If i were to bring in a right-back though, my first pick would be Glen Johnson, although i can imagine he'd have quite a few suitors after a good season with Portsmouth. Justin Hoyte from Arsenal will be available, i think. Don't know an awful lot about him but he's fairly highly rated. A lot of developing to do aswell so might be a decent investment.

indi Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Nobby's a very clever player and clever players can do a job in most positions, but that's what he's doing: "a job", he's nowhere near a top-class right-back and is quite easily found out by quality players. Having said that, he's infinitely preferable to Carr, so for me it'd be a toss-up between him and Taylor for the slot at the moment. However this doesn't mean we shouldn't be looking for a new right-back as a matter of priority, we need at least two full-backs bringing in, one for each side.

Guest Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 People have to remember Milner's played practically every game this season. He's still only 21, might as well save him from burnout. I know people don't rate him but Carr & Solano SHOULD still be good enough to see off Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Get in the CBs and the LB first, if there's money left then go for a RB. If not, then Solano will do fine. I'll be happy as long as Carr doesnt get anywhere near the first team next season.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
