Right Back

Roberge left back, colback right back if we haven't signed a right back by the Fulham game.
 
Right back No.1 priority for me.


Depending on how either Diakite or Roberge shape up we could easily utilise Wesley at RB.....he's got lot's of experience playing there. Gardner is a more than able deputy there imo.....but as you say a specialist RB is desireable

I can just see attacks floundering without someone who can play an incisive pass from CM....it's been a massive problem for years.

I'm starting to think that my initial assessment of a "smoke and mirrors" transfer window may be accurate though. Lot's of initial activity, largely funded by sales, and then it all just peters out as the club's real intention of cutting costs again reveals itself.

Make no mistake...the squad we have now will struggle imo.....it's still 2 or 3 quality players short of mid-table.
 
:-( im reet, he's fu-kin, s.h.i.t.e


He's not (or wasn't) shite but i think time may have caught up with him....he looked particularly poor during the 2nd half of last season. I really wouldn't want to be going into this season with Carlos as 1st choice......but i've also got no idea whatsoever how good either Diakite or Roberge are....they could cost us a fair few points until they've adapted to English football.

You'd also have to assume that Diakite won't be fit for the start of the season, given his lack of involvement thus far.

I think your assessment of us being two or three quality players short of midtable is right. We seem to be fine for quality in the attacking third if we get the ball to players in dangerous situations but we don't seem to have players who can get the ball to them often enough.

There's still two weeks before Fulham and a further two before the deadline to change this, of course.

I can't help feeling that a lot (for quite a few clubs) could hinge on the Bale move to Madrid, how long it takes, exactly which players Spurs get in return and who they, in turn, invest the fee in.
 
Who plays down the left for Fulham nowadays?


To be fair it's not really relevant.......we utilised Colback at RB against just about the best left sided PL combination in Baines and Pienaar and he was MOTM. Whoever plays there could just as easily get ripped a new arsehole by some spotty faced kid lining up for Palace. What's of more concern is who plays there on a long term basis.... along with LB and creative CM it's something the club seems totally incapable of solving.

That's true if you believe the club are willing to invest in these areas......i'm really not sure and think we will need departures before anyone else comes in. Hopefully i'm just being a cynical old git....;)
 
It will be Gardner or a new signing.

I'm still very hopeful that we'll be able to bring someone in but don't kid yourself that it will be anyone other than Gardner out of the current squad.

I can categorically state that it won't be Gardner........














Not against Fulham anyway.
