I reckon Dier could do well at RB actually
And whats this myth that we lack pace in attack
The difference is Georgiou or Oakley-Booth are midfielders and Foyth is defender, so assume we don't have good defenders in the academy. I don't think Poch has much trust in CCV.
I have no doubt that he could cover there fairly adequately. Just means we have one less player that can cover at CM and CB.
He also lacks the attacking ability (dribbling, pace).
I will be extremely disappointed if we go into the first game of the season with him at RB..
A Right Back. Are Clyne or Valencia-manu within price and salary range?!
If KT/KWP is/was the plan then I don't have a problem with ED @ RB as a short-term measure. My only concern would be, as you've noted, it further highlights the question-mark over our CB depth.
If (as it seems) Wimmer & CCV aren't trusted and with Rose still out (i.e. No Davies to cover in the middle); I'm not sure playing 3 at the back is very wise until we can nail down some suitable reinforcements.
So what are our genuine targets? I feel like very little leaks from Spurs compared to other clubs (good) which makes it very hard to predict signings. Also, this thread does not really work as a shortcut to finding the latest rumors anymore (if ever).
So.. serious paper talk-players below (please do add "credible" rumors as needed):
- Ross Barkley (CAM)
- Gazza the goalkeeper
- Toljan (WB)
- Pereira (WB)

Mate, on principal alone, they'd want more than we got for KW!
Can't see Man U parting with Valencia either.... Fosu-Mensa however seems very much on the fringes and has looked promising whenever I've seen him play.
My main gripe as you say is because it means we lose him in midfield or central defence, but I wouldnt be extremely dissapointed if we sign a RB, but Poch goes with Dier and brings the new guy in over the coming weeks.
I wouldnt want to go with it til January though, absolutely.
Fosu-Mensa is a unit. I reckon he'd be a really good signing & fits the profile. Young, a player Poch can work with, very talented & quick. United won't sell him to us imo. They'd rather, & can afford to leave him on the fringes than strengthen a direct rival. Mourinho is a cunt & has been spoiling young talent for years.
Can we perhaps sign a player that can play CB and RB...?
Gives us the necessary boost in depth, but still leaves a path clear for KWP over the next 12 months.
If Pochs shows he is willing to play Dier (or whoever) at RB on Sat; I think this would actually be preferable to focusing on the RB berth specifically.
All true.... Sadly.
Day 82 of this joke......the funnies have dropped by 77%
We need a RWB though to play in the preferred formation - cant think of many transferable skills between CB & RWB - easier to find RB/CB
Read Barkley for us.
To be fair Im not sure why we would leave one untried 19yr old RB on the bench and buy another

IMO Clyne is not better than KW and Valancia is 32yo so can't see they would want more, should be less.
