Getting bit anxious over defense. Haway Florent


All the doom mongers line up.
The club have already gone way above expectations this transfer window, they will have players lined up that may take longer than others, mind that won't stop the moaners, they want the signings now!

How long is it since Xhaka signed?
Ffs....

Correct,It has gone very quiet,dont know where this Chelsea lad is.However we havnt spent all this money to be weak up front and weak at the back .My money is on something special is about to unfold.

It helped that Dick Malone had 200+ senior appearances at that stage in his career playing full back. When you consider Harrison Jones has had zero do you see my point a little more clearly?

Yes but he was meant to be outclassed by Eddie the last waltz Gray. Players sometimes play above themselves for a short time, especially if backed by their teammates and manager.

If we cannot get a CB in over the next week or so and Seelt is still out of action who would you pick in our defence? RLB already seems to have shown faith in the kid. Could have played Neil there last Saturday. Let’s see what he does this weekend.

I’ve been told something will happen on the defensive front by Friday at the latest. Keep calm folks.

I've been told that something's about to happen on the defensive front too.

I've been told it every day on here for the last month 😂

Patience is the name of the game - hence why we are doing well. Their remit is not to satisfy fans with too much time on their hands. They will have 2 new defenders next week.

My theory is the club will only spend money on wingers and central midfielders, because they are the positions that have the best value in terms of what you can get them for and what they can sell for.

Strikers are in such short supply that they cost too much to begin with so there isn't much value to be had.

Defenders are less likely to sell for big money so it takes longer to find value.

These owners have a history of reluctance in spending money on a striker. The last few seasons we've missed out on our targets and ended up with young loans. Burstow, Gelhardt, Simms, Danns. I hope this doesn't happen again and we rely on Guiu.

So why then sign a 32 year old midfielder then 🤣

We spent £4 million on Wilson last season…..

So bang goes your theory straight away.
