That last bit is my only concern, hopefully he's fit to train immediately as we got burned last year with Samed
I prefer him at fullback whether that be LB or RB, but does give us an option in games to switch to a 3 in a similar way masuaku does: Bring either of those 2 on as a wingback (or RCB) to shore us up a bit. Probably still sign a CB
I'm going for both, he will challenge Hume and Ballard for starting spot, hopefully means both of them raise their games to better levels. I'm sure the guy that said about the flight has also said we are still interested in Lucumi
Tell you what for all that mystery striker ITK nonsense earlier in the week, that is very the very best of under the radar rumours. A good 12 hours before anything at all in the press. I also love that we announced Hume extension before this got anywhere near the press. Removes all the unhappy players bollocks
Hanging out my arse this morning must’ve missed this. Buzzing for the lad, deserves a decent contract for the work he’s put in since arriving here. Even if he doesn’t kick a ball this season it’s more than deserved imo.
We will still go for a CB but if we can’t get one good enough we’ve got players that can cover there now
Have to wonder if Xhaka had some input, club might’ve asked what they thought of him and if he thought he could improve us when they seen he was available?
