Why? If I wanted to get mad over made-up scenarios that haven’t happened, I’d just hang out on twitter…

The way people talk about twitter on here like it's some parallel universe is honestly hilarious. It's literally people talking like they do on here.

You mean X ;)

And I'd not even be that mad if we signed those 2, certainly not ideal but just putting it out there, no need to blow a gasket about the suggestion :)

I got castigated the other day for suggesting such a thing. Maybe they hadn’t taken into consideration the possibility. It’s no different that musing we might get prime costacurta and barest in (whoever they might be today). Theres too much passive aggressiveness on this forum.

Dude it’s been clear all summer long that he’s not our top CB target but he is one our top targets for CB depth. As that option he’s a very good signing and is well suited to the system with his pace, ability on the ball and ability in the air. Why is every thread filled with this kind of post? It’s so poorly thought out and just a made up scenario with absolutely zero evidence to suggest it’s likely. We had the same absolute tripe in the Solomon thread, another one who’s a very good player, obvious fit for the system and was clear why we signed him for football reasons as well as financial ones if you’d actually watched the player and knew his fit for Postecoglu’s preferences
he might surprise us it’s true, but how many times have we been in this position where genuine quality is needed in one position to give us at least a chance- and it doesn’t happen

I’m not confident for this reason

I’m not confident until ENIC fuck off and a new owner that would back the manager comes in...

Well whether he's the number 1 or number 2 choice, can we just fucking get him in it's clear we aren't going for both Tapsoba and VdV.

Would be nice to actually have a genuine partner for Romero for the next 2 pre-season games and mean we're not going into the season with either Davies at CB or someone who has just arrived at the club and has had no time to settle in or get to know how Ange plays.

Then if we sell Kane or decide to open the purse strings we can buy Tapsoba later in the window as our first choice CB and make Tosin the backup.

This one for me is a goer, it ticks all the boxes. He has experience in the PL, fast, great on the ball, HG and cheap.

My only reservation if someone can enlighten me is can/has he played LCB?

Could be a very astute signing this one.

Looking at his heatmap last year he was more a RCB, but in 2020/21 when he was last in the Premier League his heatmap shows him more as a LCB but they would have got relegated that season.

Thanks, that's s good website.

So he can play both, probably a specialist LCB and him covering both roles. Ideal scenario is probably Tapsoba and Tosin.

I'd actually sell all our other defenders and promote Dorrington or add someone like Ashley Phillips. That should be enough without Europe.
