Honestly the worst part of our attack right now for me is when Porro and Udogie are out- not because we lack defense but because Emerson and Davies are subpar attackers at their respective positions. KWP would actually be a legit attacking threat in our system and can play either side to boot. Just add KWP and keep Davies as a LCB/LB depth option next summer and we are set on fb/CB depth. Emerson could possibly still even be kept too as a 3rd RB/5th RCB depth option.I’m fine with KWP. He’s club trained which is crucial for entering Europe, not home grown which is different. We need 4 club trained guys which after selling Kane was going to be a stretch.
Importantly he plays the inverted position well and is actually almost equally good in both LB and RB. Is it exciting no but he'd be genuinely useful and also cheap.
Spurs are apparently after Jacob Greaves (Hull). Left-footed CB.

With VDV injured at the moment (don’t know for how long yet) but what if Romero or Radu also got injured we’d be back ip s**t creek. However, I’d rather bring Philips back next year and use the money elsewhere.
We are also apparently changing our name to:

Totally agree. If we want to really improve then we can’t just bring in back ups that are lower end PL players. Makes no sense at all. That’s like saying we might as well keep Sess! Fuck thatAll about opinions but I think he is not good enough even as a back up,

Ange has a good record with signing full backs for his system, to be fair. Brought in Josip Juranovic at Celtic who was brilliant, then replaced him with Alistair Johnston who looked an upgrade. Johnston's form has gone downhill since Ange left precisely because his attributes suited Angeball to a tee, but not so much the traditional full back role.Our fullback role is pretty hard to recruit for as not many teams play the system. We are always kind of recruiting players we will have to convert from fullbacks.
As both Udogie and Porro were originally wingbacks, maybe we should be looking at teams that play with those to buy and then work with to play that position?

Been framing it this way in my head.
Our squad needs to have
Starting Quality
and
Stars.
Not every player will ever be a star, every one of them needs to be starting quality. Zero point signing any player that we don't expect to be good enough to force their way into our starting 11.
Dragusin is the perfect example of how we should be approaching depth and squad expansion.
I think our fourth choice centre back should probably be someone who's capable of also playing full back tbh.
Can see why wed be linked with Lloyd Kelly.
