I get you, I just don't think we'll stock pile on the basis of potential or future injuries.

Dragu was already kicking up last season about a lack of mins.
Problem here is with VDV we're not looking at potential injuries, he's halfway through his second season with us and he's now on his fifth injury. His availability is somewhere around 50%. Romero I have a feeling he'll be offskis in the summer and Dragusin just doesn't look comfortable with this sort of football. Davies was doing an admirable job up to his injury but I doubt he'll be here much longer.

I think we really do need more CBs.

VDV ain't having a career of any note. Not a chance.

It only happens if he declines to use his greatest asset.

It's typically us.
 
GREAT POST!!

And far more aligned with fans who aren’t trauma hounds online.

But not so aligned with any tangible reality.

Bragging about how great our business apparently is and how we will have a top squad for years to come while *checks notes* battling it out with Palace for 15th just seems like something we'd piss our sides if any other fan of another fanbase was coming up with it.

We are currently shit. Maybe the business will all come good and everyone will flourish to their potential, but they also might not as happens all the time in this sport. As of now the business we've done is doing fuck all for us and we are a truly disgustingly shit football team given the spending. That's not being a "trauma hound" its just an honest an accurate reflection of a side spending 300+ million in two windows but sitting 3 points ahead of a not even doing well for them Crystal Palace.
 
If it permanently sits Brennan on the bench then I'll personally donate money towards it.
On a policeman's salary?

Lies No GIF

Agree. Squad is decent enough. Tactics and manager are currently the problem.
 
Six?! that's an insane amount.

What if we had no europe and VDV and Romero went injury free? two of them would never play and the other two would be very sparse mins wise.

no club has 6 cbs surely?
Having a quick look on Transfermarkt, Aston Villa, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Man United all have 6 centre backs in their first team squad and quite a few others have 5. It seems common to have more than 4.
 
I think that you are spot on with this.

I just can't see Levy signing a CB with Phillips and Vuskovic being possibly half a season away from getting a squad number.
But half a season that could see us challenging for 2 Cups and dragging ourselves up the EPL table.
I was very disappointed by Werner yesterday. He is a million to be dropped from the EL squad but I would be sorely tempted to drop him from the EPL squad, even if we have to still keep paying his wages.
Would mean we could get the maximum 2 players in on loan.

As we discussed the other day…

Things are not good right now.

Our investment in top quality young players will start to pay off. Not this season. Maybe not next season. After that.

You can piss your pants for the next 18 months or just stay calm and support the team.
