    I think all defenders have some recklishness about them but ony 3 yellow cards from 33 games in a losing side is pretty impressive in a league where players fall over at the slightest breeze, Granted he did have 1 red as well

    I agree. Would be nice to see a player from one of the top 5 leagues linked with some real pedigree even if they are young. Le Fee types

    How does bischoff compare to the young Japanese lad LB that we’ve been linked to?

    Looked before and Norton-Cuffy only cost Genoa 2mill. Surprised we didn't go for that.

    he’s not great defensively and is usually a right back. Always looks great going forward tho

    Was just going to say about Norton-cuffy. Every time he has come on he's impressed.

    Yeah I meant as a right back to cover Hume. Although they do massively rate Huggins so maybe they didn't want his pathway blocked (when/if he's fit)

    I’d take him as a different option to Roberts rather than Hume

    Cresswell is the one I'd want still, Norton-Cuffy done well this competition but feel he's best as a RWB

    id agree on Norton-cuffy wouldn’t fancy him as an option as a pure RB but as I’ve already said he could be a solid option instead of Roberts

    What system do you think we will play/ should play? I’m not convinced we’ll play the same one. I think there’s a lot more going on to defend in the space behind the 9 in the premier league and I’d be surprised if we only play with one person in Neil’s position. Extra centre back or two holding midfielders maybe. I’ve thought for a while we’re all saying where we should strengthen based on last years system but we may well change it or at the very least have a different set up away.

    No idea at this stage, I still think it'll be the same system as it seems to be RLBs preferred choice and the one he's had success with

    We need flexibility though so some signings will be made with a couple systems in mind

    Agreed right age reminds me a little of ballard. Attacks the ball well and seems to have decent pace. Would be a very good signing. Not sure if it's possible mind. Norton cluffy has potential as well, pacey and looks to have a something about him particularly going forward. Think he would struggle as an out and out right back.

    Maybe controversial, I don't really like Norton Cuffy

    I don't mind him but he's not PL quality, he's done well as an impact sub for England when they've needed some pace and energy but I wouldnt go near him
