I knew it would be a gamble signing a 34 year old crock and with only 2 games played so far this season low and behold he's out again. We have a threadbare squad of players as it is especially at Centre Half and Right Back. I just question the wisdom of signing an injury prone player for the heart of our defence especially when we do not have an embarassment of riches in that department. Our squad is too small to be carrying players and I can't help thinking that this will be our archilles heal again this season. PJ to his credit has signed a decent striker but has failed in the task of addressing our piss poor defence. I don't think that we will get too many games out of Ingimarsson and we need a decent partnership at the back. We really need 2 Centre Backs, Right Back and now that we have let Fulop go we desperately need a back up Goalie as ALB is just ****!
I was just thinking that if we don't sign at least 1 CB before Saturday who the **** will we be left with? Delaney I think is injured or carrying a knock so that leaves Ainsley & Smith! Is The Beat free on Saturday ?
To be fair we offered terms to both Brown and Eastman, so its not really fair to say we let them go. I still think the guy will prove to be a decent signing but we definitely need another CB urgently.
I think, in a better and more organised team (ie not last night's team) Ainsley could be ok but obviously lacks experience. Hopefully Delaney will be back and Ingrid Bergman's injury won't be anything too serious. Agree though, we do need a centre half PDQ.
why cant we go out and buy a class CB i have been saying this all along we need quality players in all vacant slots come on town now is the time to spend some money otherwise its mid.table again
I think it's been an issue for most teams this summer, there isn't a great deal of quality Centre Halfs knocking about. Thats why Mills was worth £5million simply because those who have good centre backs are the bigger/richer clubs and therefore there have been few going without a hefty price tag involved. Does beg the question though of why we didn't sign St. Ledger when we had the chance.
CBs we have signed or are/have been chasing are either; Crocked, crocks or susceptible to being....crocked.!
i think PJ should get a move on and just take andrews then we can all move on and have something else to shat about ,sorry i mean chat about
