I know that.......We do have Vertonghen, Dawson, Kaboul and Chirches. Just as we have Capoue and Sandro as defensive elements in midfield (ala Parker). All of which are fine players and can offer us that balance.
but we still don't have the King and being without that kind of talent takes some getting around, as we have found out now Bale is gone.
I still am concerned about Rose as well, he was passed by all too easily at the weekend and his positional play was suspect as well.
I'd rather get Benny back personally. A good stiff slap and a tight haircut and he'll be fine. Particularly now that his homie is on the ball.
