He looks very good going forward but I'm unsure defensively, maybe people who've seen him more can comment but I wonder if hes just an expensive KWP?

He is many levels above KWP. Offensively he’s on another level compared to most full backs.

He’s pretty much the only right back I want so I’m happy to believe anything.

Yeah doesn’t seem to be much out there in the mould of what we’re looking for. Him and Aarons were the only ones worth getting excited about.

Nice would want a big fee though and I guess a broken collarbone would also put us off. Be really surprised if we signed him.

With Foyth out for a while and question marks over Serge on the injury front too, and of course Trippier leaving, I feel right back is extremely important. I think the faffing about with Lo Celso and Fernandes has overshadowed this recently, but at the start of the summer this was a key position to improve and that was before Trippier leaving. Maybe we hoped to delay a move like this for a year with Foyth to fill in for a while, but now injury has struck, maybe we are being forced to make a move in the end. From the little I've seen of Atal, he doesn't look the strongest defensively and comes across as more of a wing-back, albeit an exciting one, but then so does Sess ...

Right back is such an obviously weak area in our squad and we’ll be targeted there all season.

If you have serious ambitions of competing. You don’t sell your first choice RB and not replace/upgrade him.

Foyth was suspended for the first 2 games and will miss the Newcastle and Arsenal game on top of that. I don't think it's much of a concern.

What's the question mark over Aurier? He is back training along with Dier

I haven't heard the latest on Foyth but reports were it could potentially be months out for him. If new information has arisen then fair enough. I still feel we need a right-back though. Aurier was injured for pretty much all of last season and got injured again this summer, he may be back soon but seems to have problems in that regard. Hopefully he can get over that as I actually like him as a player. However, many have questioned whether he is ultimately good enough. Whatever way it is spun I feel we need to improve right back, its unlikely at this point, but ho-hum.

Well month as opposed to months then I guess ;) That is good news, for his development above all else. Still would welcome someone like Atal coming in, though I had resigned myself to that being next summer.

We don't need to sign a right back because of injuries, we need to sign one because it's easily the weakest position in our 11.

It's amazing how difficult it is to identify quick full backs that can actually cross a ball though. This guy appears to be one of them, but that link seems unreliable to say the least.

Don't see us bringing in a right back in the next 3 days. Hopefully KWP steps up, but I can't say I've been overly impressed by him so far in his senior career.

I don’t see us bringing one in in the next three years

I reckon if he did sign before the deadline, it wouldn’t be announced to after it closes.

We’d need to turn at eyebrow into two before we take any photos with him holding the shirt up :LOL: 5AA643F2-AF36-47A5-8466-D6646E0BF938.jpeg
