I want someone better than 09 at centre back. Need a. Out and out centre half. Ballard would look even better for it. He has to cover 09 so much due his lack of positional understanding.
I think recent managers we have had would disagree with you here, he's a more than capable defender but because he was bought as a mdifielder don't think a lot of our fans can see that
It's all speculation really we don't have a clue what system he is going to play and which players he will like yet
He needs to, 2 million for him was a joke. We've still got a couple of days to make Styles permanent as well
Can't imagine we are signing him, though I think he's an ok player and versatility can be very important for a squad
Another one who would work better in a back 3 system as a wing back. Think on of him or Cirkin with Pembele on the other side would actually be very good
If you could sign a 28 year old Danny Batth then I'd be happy with that. Ideally we need someone really commanding with a bit of the ****housery requited at this level
I'd imagine if we wanted to replace O9 we would be looking for a good ball playing defender as that is what O9 brings
Just my opinion. If we always followed the managers then would be a boring conversation. He is ok but I definitely feel we can upgrade in that position.
Hoping he has a good year and is back to full health. Had some horrendous luck. Seems to have spent the full summer training on holiday going to wellness retreats and such.
