    We finished last season playing an 18 year old we bought from Carlisle mate.

    So no, not really.

    in that case surely instead of 3 midfielders you should have been buying a CB instead of one of them .

    No. As we just need good cover at CB, our first choice midfield was utter ****e and has therefore been replaced.

    Holgate is out, Keane is our only 100% fit CB it seems and mina coming back to fitness. So cover for our three main CB's

    Also an option to go three at the back.

    so not going to get much game time once they're fit so still surprised that Chelsea view this as a good option for Tomori .

    PS please play 3 at the back

    Doesn't matter if Chelsea want it, if he pushed for the move to work under Don Carlo then.....Don Carlo gets it done.

    Gomes is quality, but he got his leg snapped last season though eh and didn’t get back to anything like his best form when he came back. Not having a ball winner in midfield didn’t help him either.

    I’m hoping he gets back to his best, and having some quality and energy alongside him will most certainly help.

    Latest 'strong' rumours ...

    David Brooks from Bournemouth... apparently we are ahead of Man United in terms of signing him ...

    Wesley Fofana from St Etienne... 19 year old centre back ... this has been growing in speculation and, personally , seems very plausible <cheers>

    Why buy young players, I thought the yooof at Leicester was great?

    although I would suspect Brookes to be snapped up by a top half PL side. Nice player.

    Oh no, imagine how disappointed we would be if you signed a player we have no interest in whatsoever, ahead of us.

    Hence the word 'apparently' ...

    You don't need him mate ... you already have a Welsh lad that plays on the wing that you don't need <laugh>

    That's why the yoof at Leicester is great ... we buy young and also bring them through the youth ranks...

    Barnes, Choudhry, Thomson and the recently departed Chilwell all came through the academy....

    Ndidi, Soyuncu, Demarai Gray and James Justin all brought in and now 23... or younger <cheers>

    But selling the or not winning anything isn't a sustainable model

    Only one where we have been in the same competition. Bragging about 2nd Division titles makes you sound like a Newcastle/West Ham fan <cheers>

    Bragging? ... how is simply demonstrating that your "not winning anything" comment is factually incorrect, bragging? ...

    Mind you, if you can maintain that level of arrogant assumption regarding posters intent, disposition, mood etc you may well have a future as a mod on this particular board ... <laugh>
