Spence was one of our best players last season. He just had a big tail off the last few games or so. We only need a left back really to cover with Udogie. We have Kinsky as back up keeper, Vuskovic I am confident will be a monster, Dragusin is fine when not in a high line, Danso is good and Romero and VDV are very good.
I am not that concerned with our backline. It’s the one area we have real quality, we conceded a lot because we asked our backline to play a high line and our full backs to be attacking midfielders. That won’t happen this season.
I am far more concerned with the fact we don’t have a top DM going into a game against PSG in a few weeks. Throw the bag at Baleba or accept we are cheap and get Palhinha but make a call please. Let’s not throw away a game like this even if we are big underdogs.

Ben Davies is good but probably not quite world class just yet
World class club servant
There are 5 more seasons left in this decade so I will therefore reserve judgement on an overall comparison.
Although I will if I may speak out against those who wish to denigrate last season's success by the definition of winning a major European trophy.
The Europa League replaced the former uefa and ecwc competitions both of which we have won in the past and always regarded highly after the then most sought after European cup.
In spite of those running the Club I'm keeping everything thing crossed we are able to at least emulate the decade with a couple more cups and better positions in the league.
Course you have.
If I wanted to diss MU I would constantly mention that they finished 15th last season. Therefore if I wanted to diss Spurs I would constantly mention that they finished17th last season as many posters keep saying. So why do so many posters keep posting that rather than the fact we were Europa champions last season. We were not in a relegation scrap. You mention that our wage bill was lowest of the top 6th but fail to mention it is better than the rest and this is the transfers thread.
This thread is about transfers and not another thread to diss the club. Let’s keep that for the ENIC thread and discuss the transfer talk.
We do need more first team starters but need quality and not quantity, so 1/2 more and maybe loans which come at the end of the window.
I suspect, from his previous, Frank will go 5-3-2 against PSG. May well be that one of the 3 at the back steps forwards as a kind-of 6. I guess we'll see.
It would have been ideal to have kept the manager change secret and have it WWE style, with PSG ready to face our suicidal back line, then Frank comes out to the undertaker music and the camera cuts to Luis Enrique looking flushed.
Wasn't it the Brentford MO not too long back to try and score within the first two minutes to disrupt the opponent's plans? I am equally worried and equally excited for it, as we might see some kind of tactical masterclass or a disaster
Maybe pride should be pide. He looks like he’s eaten a few.
I think you'll find 90% of us are actually very reliable ITKs that do have the insight, we just can't disclose the information at this time
Rubber dinghy rapids bro!
Spence IS "primarily" a RB though.
........But yeh; off the bat I acknowledged a new #2 LB would be desirable.
I find it hard to agree with that...... Of course injury cover is a legit concern, but the blend of abilities (and distribution of roles, 2 or 3 players etc.) within any MF is crucial to how a team is able to operate.
Can still buy and sell while we are on tour. It’s just another one of the excuses isn’t that.
it is sensitive to how Frank wants to set up though isn't it? We're not going to end up not needing wide cover in defence though IMO, unless he goes full on 3-4-3
That’s definitely the plan, it’s so fucking transparent. Then Levy will be wondering why the fans are pissed off and booing the team when we don’t win games and then why he has to ultimately sack yet another manager. Recruitment will stitch up yet another manager.
I'm too sadistic to ignore it, I need assistance. Also, was largely said in jest
Btw, we can tell paratici isn’t involved in this window. No leaks, no random links to a host of new players every week. At least he kept the bullshit flowing and to a realistic level.
This isn’t good depth lol
Both strikers could be upgraded, both left wingers could be upgraded, both cdm could be upgraded
Just merely having numbers in a position doesnt mean the depth is good
