    Stephens
    Bednarek
    THB
    AbK
    Holgate

    That's an improvement on our defensive options last year, and simply outrageous for a championship team.

    Use Jack as a striker. He's proven quite adept at achieving separation from his man, might as well put that to good use.

    The Turkish and Saudi transfer window will still be open for another week

    Not bad, not bad.

    So, on this basis, would our 1st choice be: THB / ABK?

    I’ll repeat what I said the other day


    If we end up with too many CBS and no Tella replacement, then the solution will be switch to a back 3 formation

    Well yeah if all are to stay then ABK and THB are probably are best in terms of ability. Holgate must be happy, 5th choice at Everton and same here

    You could make strong cases for all of them at this level, to be honest. Genuinely can't call it.

    We’ve been so tight at the back that I worry there is no way for new blood to break in…

    As someone who took a couple years of German, the fact that the German word for 'efficiency' is 18 letters long always amused me.

    It's also a big problem, albeit a nice one to have. We will have 5 people who want to play week in, week out. How are we going to keep everyone happy? I know there's a lot of games but at least 3 of those will feel they should be playing in the PL and therefore will walk into our team. Can we just terminate Holgate's loan? <laugh>

    Turkish clubs are skint, so it will be a loan, which could actually lower his value from £25m

    Not sure how he'd know we'd "opted against any further spending in wide positions".

    Well if Captain Fishpaste says it, it must be true.

    No Tella replacement if true, which would be disappointing.
