    I’m still hoping we bring in a couple of experienced heads. Xhaka is great but we definitely need more.

    I agree it would be great to bring in experience heads but they have to contribute not just to be brought in for experience only

    Don’t want him anywhere near a PL match day squad

    It would be scary seeing him up against some PL right wingers.

    Absolutely. We want lads who can still do it on the pitch when called upon. I think Mee is completely done in the PL

    Presumably the same source as @SnakeEyes mate ...

    No CB’s who can’t / don’t start. Stronger or don’t bother.

    That’s what I thought. Such a presence about him and so respectful of everyone he met from the photographers to RLB. He’s a leader without exception

    Same that's why i don't want him joining, he has been poor the last couple years that I've seen him. He was decent when playing in a back 3 but will get ripped to pieces in a back 4

    Yep. And it's his effect on others as well as what he does himself.

    I once recruited a lad for a team I was working with. He was a bit old for the job really, but it was a bit of a pressurised and difficult job we had on, and I had just a few too many young lads, though all gooduns. Inside a day, you could see the difference. He was worth the firm paying for him just for his presence and knowledge.

    Xhaka will bring all that with bells on.

    I'd consider Mee as a backup option but I don't think we need one. Need at least one clear starting CB brought in ASAP.

    Did anyone ask the question I did, regarding Xhaka meeting the lads ...

    ...was our captain there to greet him and introduce the players?

    Aye 100%.

    Will lead on the training park, in meetings, in the gym, on the park.

    Schick saying he’s the biggest loss because of his aura essentially says it all.

    I think we will all feel better when we bring in that starting calibre CB

    I said I was fine with Seelt and Ballard for 1 game but I'm not confident at all after seeing how much Seelt struggled with long forward passes in the last 2 games
