    Default I cant see us getting a new LB

    Especially if Mensah comes back.

    We will arguably have 6 CB's which is frankly a bit ridiculous - Turner, Mensah, Bramble, Ferdinand, Da Silva & Kilgallon.

    And with Richardson about to sign a new deal, McCartney not going anywhere fast, Ferdy & Kilgallon both been used at LB at young Liddle coming through its tough to argue for a new one (Although we probably need one)

    The ideal may be to move on Ferdinand & McCartney but on the wages they are on and McCartneys alleged injury problems cant see that being easy.

    Perhaps if something happens as the window goes on and a couple of those move on we may get a proper attacking LB but I'd imagine it would be very difficult for Brucey to justify to Quinn & Short at the moment with all the above

    Perhaps why there are no links

    Richardson deserves a chance to make the position his own. We have to show some confidence in him.

    A few newspapers have reported that the reason we're getting richardson pinned down on a new deal is to say to him you can have no problem with playing LB anymore

    I think the manager is doing just that. We have adequate LB cover too. Not a key position to upgrade imho.

    At this rate maybe we'll just buy cover for Rico. I still think we're light there and McCartney is just a waste of wages.

    SB reported as saying LB is his best position and that says it all...mind you he has played it in the pre-season so far!

    Maybe he is going to partner Jones at CB

    Ferdinand will go in the frantic last couple o' days of the current winda.

    How many chances do you think he needs?

    IF Mensah comes in, i can see Bardsely, Ferdinand and (hopefully) McCartney going. That will leave:

    RB - Angeleri, Muhammidi (and at a push Da Silva)
    LB - Richardson, Kilgallon (and at a push Muhammidi and Da Silva)
    CB - Bramble, Turner, Da Silva, Mensah(?), Kilgallon (and at a push Angeleri)

    More than enough?? And a few million in and what, 60-70k a week of the wages??

    I think we have to give him a full season there to give him a proper chance to learn the position.
