Your "ok so he's not top 8 quality" argument implies that you think he is the best of the rest after that although you're trying not to say it. The fact is there are about 15 teams in this league with better right backs.

The more players we have who are bottom half quality, the more we will struggle. Bardsley is a key weakness in a key position imo. He needs to be replaced urgently.

Not at all, theres just no right backs out there that we could replace him with without spending silly money & even then those players would probably have better options than us. That brings us back to it not being that easy to replace him.
 
Haddaway and shite man.

Bardo is not class.

He's not crap, not amazing. Need an upgrade, but not before some other pressing areas like Cm are addressed.
 
Disagree with the highlighted areas. Bardsleys single biggest weakness is how poorly he defends the back post, especially in the air. I agree that Craig Gardner isn't the answer, mind.
100% this. It's amazing how little people notice it yet it costs us a lot of goals per season. He really poor at defending, I don't buy this 'solid defensively' thing.
 
He's poor to say the least.

Passing, positional play, marking, poor in the air, support of the forward and crossing. All shit.

yeah he might hoy a big challenge in now and again but it usually him thats given it away or is out of position to start with.

It was a sad sad sight to see him wearing the captains armband the other day.

This. I thought it was only me that was sad at the sight of the armband on him.

100% guilty for the goal against Villa, trademark 'Bardsley gone missing' was that.

See the Villa goal as a prime example.


I also agree with Charlie Chimp other areas are more of a concern than right back
 
Celtic got a better right back for nowt, Mikael Lustig.

Is he really better?

He looks good in a poor league but Celtic aren't even dominating the SPL this year despite their only real challenger no longer being in it which would suggest they'v gone backwards.

Maybe he is better but unless he goes to a club in our premier league we'll never know.

Aye I agree. But after CM he'd be the next player I'd look to replace. Signing Danny Rose just highlighted how limited Bardsley is both defensively and when on the attack.

Yes he is better, imo.

I don't know if you've realised but Celtic are through to the last 16 of the Champions League. They haven't gone backwards.

It's amazing really. I think some people just see defending as wining the odd tackle here and there or making the odd eye-catching block. But that's not defending - it is competing. Huge difference, yet they can't seem to tell it.

If 15 teams in our league can bring in a better right back, why do you assume we can't? :confused:

Bosingwa was free for QPR. Gunter cost Reading £2m. Lowton cost Villa £3m. Reither is on a season long loan but cost his last club £2.5m. Clyne cost Southampton £3m. Geoff Cameron is highly thought of at Stoke and he cost them £1.6m in the summer.

I would consider them to have all got better right backs than Bardsley without paying silly money.

Aye I agree. But after CM he'd be the next player I'd look to replace. Signing Danny Rose just highlighted how limited Bardsley is both defensively and when on the attack.

Absolutely this. You don't even have to look at other teams. Just look at the other full back in our team to see what they should offer.
 
Eh?

That doesn't make sense as I never said he was better because Celtic were in the last 16. I simply said they haven't gone backwards.

You dopey Bardsley loving herbert.

Why mention it then you silly silly boy? Sometimes Rocky, i really worry about you.
