Maybe I am wrong but I thought Lenglet was a LCB cultured passer rather than a powerful CCB type player and our alternative to Bastoni to compete with Davies.
Rodon was more a Dier alternative.
I would not say that we could afford to ship out Doherty.
The cogs on this table are movable.
So if we look at that distribution I could say that -
- Perisic is extra cover for LW if needed-> that would leave LWB light (only Sess) -> and Doherty could cover that one
- Romero and Tanganga both are injury prone, and Dier cannot play 100% of the games, so it might happen that Sanchez has to play CCB -> that might mean shifting Royal to RCB -> then having Doherty as extra option in RWB becomes useful
- If it turns out that Gil is too lightweight, we cannot use Kulu nor Moura, I can actually see Spence being option on RW position, which mean having Doherty leaves us still 2 options to choose for RWB position ; or alternatively we could use Doherty himself as RW due to good crossing ability and passing; so that would leave Royal and Spence as two options on RWB.
So to sum it up - as some players theoretically might be used in other positions as well (LW, RCB, RW) having 5 players for 2 wingback roles is not excessive depth at all!
So, if Scum buy Neto, who I've loved for years and wanted/want here, it would be "weird" that I get pissed off about it (esp. because I think he improves them)??
Football fan gets pissed off another club nabs a player he desires.
So fucking WeIrD, man!
Decided to take a quick look and found this gem. Says a lot but says nothing in the process. "Thanks Herc!"
Romero in the middle I should think, with Sanchez on the right.
Fair enough our preferred targets at LCB weren’t available and we managed to get a relatively decent stop gap in Lenglet, but not making a concentrated effort to upgrade in Diers CCB is an absolutely massive mistake IMO.
I don’t care how solid he’s looked at times under Conte. There is still always a mistake or a lapse in the guy that will cost us goals and points throughout the season.
Our CB options are fine, we can revisit in January.
Lenglet > Rodon so we have upgraded.
If Dier is injured one of Romero, Sanchez or Lenglet will take his spot.
Wow, now you are really moving goalposts A LONG WAY.
Capable of scoring AT LEAST 10 league goals ?!? to cover Moura's position in squad?
Moura have not scored 10 goals not even with THREE SEASONS GOAL TALLY COMBINED.
He is on 9 EPL goals across 3 full seasons for us.
In terms of output you are massively overestimating his contribution.
What considers getting along well, and being an influence in the dressing room + being full professional willing to play out of position - in that sense I agree with you. But this does not have to come in combination with such output as you were saying.
Romero is a front foot defender, he could do the CCB role but I feel the RCB role is much more suited for him to how he plays and how our system works.
Romero is our best defender but Dier is arguably our most important given what we have.
I just meant in terms of numbers - Rodon out and Lenglet in is an upgrade for me.Maybe I am wrong but I thought Lenglet was a LCB cultured passer rather than a powerful CCB type player and our alternative to Bastoni to compete with Davies.
Rodon was more a Dier alternative.
If Dier is injured I suspect Sanchez will be first choice cover but I'm sure Romero and Lenglet could play there if needed.

So we're after someone who recently started a match for their present team. Well that really narrows it down.
Umm... like this?
The fact he was signed for Wet Spam is conclusive proof that no better team wanted him.
Just another pimped up midfielder from Ligue 1. We have had already two flops recently. No thanks for 3rd.
Bullet dodged.
* all that does not mean he could not have like 2-3 months of great output. smth along lines with Payet. but it ain't gonna last.
Can someone please post another breakdown of what our squad looks like, i keep forgetting who plays for us and the 4599 reminders i've had in this window haven't quite registered yet.
For me it’s just more cogs that fit, yes they could do it but the balance might be slightly out. In the biggest games ideally you would want to avoid that. It might be that any remaining elite CB’s are just way to expensive, I mean look at Chelsea paying £75m for Fofana.
At some point we are going to have to get an elite CCB to compete/cover Dier. As for Lenglet he looked good in the pre-season so I think he will do well for us at LCB.

Getting upset about Neto
The fucks wrong with you
Wolves are 2nd bottom and scored a whopping 2 goals.
Maybe they should play him more often.
