What is this regular back four that you speak of? Don’t think we had a settled back four at any time last season.

Trust in Poch and all that but all three don’t fill me with confidence.
Seems so mental.
Probably told him as well that German Burgos will take care of players who do such a thing.
Apparently legit, it's in El País which is Spain's best selling quality paper and Marca. Taken by one Juanjo Martín, who works for EFE, Spain's version of the Press Association
Recurrance of his groin injury?
Sorry Arty but those are 2 things he doesn’t have
The pace is a myth
And his technique is a fucking joke for a pro footballer
He’s a decent athlete but that doesn’t equate to pace
Well, I guess the hypothetical best 4 defenders we have. Rose-Vertonghen-Alderweireld-Trippier.
Although I know Trips obviously wasn't at his best all year, those 4 are imo pretty obviously our 'goto' back 4 in the past couple of years.
Our defence was rancid last season, moving out some older players is not a big deal. Toby is the only proposed departure that bothers me.
OK, he has decent technique then. apart from throw ins, there was the cross for the the Vertonghen goal against Dortmund and a few good tackles now and again.... it's just that his decision making is so poor that he usually goes with the poor technique solution...
Have you seen him trap a ball?? Deliver a cross ??
His body shape is all wrong. Hence why his first Touch is crap and he can’t deliver with any accuracy
Technique regards his tackling.....not my particular strong suit but his decision to go to ground too readily is something I don’t personally like
Not ideal but Rose going coz Poch has had enough of his negativity. Toby won't sign a contract. Both not fully committed hence bye bye. Trippier you can argue is not much better than other options we have and blocking progress of KWP and Foyth.
The only thing we can agree on is that we're stuck with him for now.
Two of our homegrown also. Would suggest that it would be Sessegnon to replace Rose to keep the Homegrown balance for the left-back at least.
You would think we would be heading that way. But there's been no firm links that we are in for him though, just rumours.
You're not wrong, but there's absolutely no guarantees we'll replace them with players of similar quality, never mind better players. As of now, it would appear our plan is to replace Trippier with no one, which is stupid, Toby by moving Dier back, and Rose with Sessengnon, who hasn't played left back in years.
Hopefully the above doesn't happen, as we would be in a much weaker position, but having seen how long it took us to finally replace Dembélé, I wouldn't be surprised if it does.
It certainly is an issue the club must resolve. I hazard a further guess that KWP could be in line for more starts as I haven't seen any real solid links to buying a new right back. Just a hunch.
Is there any links at all of any substance linking us to Semedo? He would be absolute class but I'd say there isn't a hope Barca would sell.
