It's more Levy's history of selling players and then not getting a fitting replacement in. If we sold him today we might have enough time but I wouldn't back us. Really we should be signing a first choice and keeping him as a back up. It's the only way I trust us not to be left short. Loads of players would be an improvement on him though.
levy is a fan of academy players, KWP has done well for the saints , what do u think that adds up to ... I know its disheartening to think the club will use academy players rather than spend even if they sold ... but until levy changes nothing will
Mourinho introduced Azpilicueta at LB, in place of Ashley Cole, during his second spell at Chelsea. Azpilicueta didn't venture forwards anywhere near as much then, as he does now, and Mourinho made it clear in interviews that Cole was dropped because he needed someone more defensive in that role who could drift into LCB when they attacked. I would actually say he played a very similar role to what Davies has done under Mourinho. From my recollection, Cole hadn't even been playing poorly - he just didn;t fit Mourinho's asymmetrical system.
Your name sake would suggest otherwise. I'd go out on a limb and say it won't be long until Cirkin is playing aswell.
Ivanovic was attacking rb
