You bringing up White every two seconds. :mourhandlaugh:

If you want to become an "influencer" just start a twitter account called @cuncandastles and message the bloke who runs this:


Then send the following:

"Please don't ask where I work but whilst carrying out some routine utility checks at Spurs Lodge I was asked to hurry up and make way for a small tour group. That consisted of a young footballer and what seemed to be his dad or relative who had a very strong northern accent."

I really don't mind what you called average to good signings. If our new RB is as good as Hojbjerg, for example, I'd be happy. We do have 'good to very good' players in the team - some of them should be called world-class, really.

But considering that we are unlikely to spend big, I'd say our market should be divided in two.

DM and RB - two positions to improve the first team. We are doing it.
The second part should be addressing the gaps in the squad to make us more balanced - backup striker, backup FB´s, backup CB (Foyth´s replacement), backup GK. I don´t think we are doing enough.

For example, FB´s. I really like both Cirkin and Tanganga. I think it's good for a young CB to get minutes as a FB - a bit like young strikers getting minutes as wingers. You mentioned the lack of consistency in performances, I´d say that´s a small price to pay.

But in Jose´s system, the RB bombs forward, creates overloads, gets himself into good positions to cross, assist, etc. I think it´s a role for a right-footed attacking player. It´s not about youth or experience. We simply don´t have such an option in the squad - Gedson would be the closest one -, and it doesn´t look like we are getting one.

We are playing 3 games a week, every week. The lack of a proper player to perform the RB role will hurt us.

For sure we need a RB that has been evident for a while especially now as aurier looks to be on his way.
The thing is are we confident that the club will secure one in time, seeing as the club has history with leaving things to the last minute or simply buying no one at all.
Personally I wouldn't trust the club to make this happen if I'm honest, obviously price is always an issue with the club but we still have a few weeks so let's see if the issues get addressed.
 
What I struggle to get my head round is that, in the squad we have 1 striker, 1 right back and 1 left back, yet we have a 'full' squad, so what position is it that we're massively overstocked in?

Not so fast Leverkusen; Milan's not giving up The Aurier Race without a fight: they've "intensified talks" - you only intensify talks when you really mean business.

At least there is still chat about him leaving. It’s gone absolutely silent on anyone coming in. Surely something has to happen in terms of right back this week if we are getting a new first choice. Id rather keep Aurier than signing one without a preseason.
