TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 14, 2019 1 hour ago, Boris said: I believe club was not much to blame !No one can keep more than 4 centre defenders because no normal player will agree to be 5th choice on club who normally will have no more than 40-41 games in this season! Man City even have only 3 for season with 65 -70 games The idea is not to sign a 5th choice centre back but to sign one with the potential to break into the side. Obviously you would expect the incoming player to be an improvement on Hanley, and with Zimmermann injured at the start of the season then they'd have started as 3rd choice and told to win their place? We didn't tell Ralf that he would be 1st or 2nd choice keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he was a flop, he was at least a recognised centre-back Which foreign player would we gave ditched from the 25 to accommodate him? That's probably the problem, we needed a homegrown centre back and they were going for silly money. Ajayi the exception and the one we should perhaps be kicking ourselves about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 14, 2019 Arise Sir Amadou! On the strength of that performance we should just hand over our £9m now! And what were Wet Spam thinking giving us Byram for a few quid, justice for the time they mugged us for Jarvis! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted September 14, 2019 Top class and not even a CB by trade. Another excellent Webber signing. So cool and calm on the ball and a clever defender with excellent decision making and positioning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
