He was fine the season before. The reason the defence struggled last year was because the midfield didn’t have the energy for the press. If you play a high line and fail to press the ball correctly, you’re fucked.

 

We are debating something we have no idea about anyway. IF we could re-invest the money into a CF or RW this window then I’d prefer we did that. If not then just hold onto him. It’s upto Big Mitch. That’s why we pay him the big bucks. Not just to keep him in jeans with a suit top.

 

There are people in this thread saying sell him regardless of whether we can reinvest this month. That's moronic.

Howe went for Kelly because he was the 2nd best CB available on a free after Tosin went to Chelsea 


They were reported around the same time.  IIRC we had agreed with Tosin before he got his head turned by the twats at the bridge. Kelly am fairly sure was signed due to Botman’s injury…

Four league starts and with all our other CBs coming back and you’re shitting yourself about losing him.

Botman, Burn, Hall, Targett, Livramento is more than enough to cover the left hand side of defence. Signing someone for free and flipping him for £10-15 million is exactly the shit you have to do these days, I’m afraid. 

Burn is 33, Livramento is our starting RB, Targett is the Wilson of full backs and is gone next year anyway.

 

Other than that, spot on. 

 

 He wasn’t free when you consider signing and agents fees, probably circa £6mill. 
 

He also has something none of our CB’s have which is top class pace.

 

He’s young enough, he covers a few positions. We need a deeper squad.

Surely we can’t sell Miggy without a replacement lined up? (Being serious here)

 

Was wondering this actually, who would be the cover for Murphy?

Gordon/Barnes. Neither ideal as both prefer playing on the left.

 

Selling Miggy surely means we’re going to buy a new RW. Long overdue too tbh. That Cunha would be perfect but we don’t have the money to get him thanks to the PSR bullshit

He plays off the left though

Maybe we are further ahead in talks with a RW replacement than we are for a CB?

 

A big money move for Mbuemo/Semenyo, or maybe that RW from PSV we were linked with?

Ah, I might be wrong but I thought he was one of those Brazilian wonder kids who was happy playing anywhere across the front line

Would rather take a chance on Dibling from Southampton personally, Semenyo isn’t as good as he looks this season it’s a purple patch like Miggys was.

 

I don’t think Mbeumo is the kind of player we need either, and would probably cost more than we can spend at the moment.

We tried to her Elanga in the last window but I can’t see forest letting him go given the position they’re in. I think there’s better out there too

Good call on Dibling. Although I really like him I’m not sure Mbeumo has the intensity to play for Howe.
