Expand Well then why the fuck did you spend last summer moaning about us putting all our eggs in one basket, if you're now so confident we were secretly trying to line up a host of RWs?

You could say the same about Murphy. But Murphy has always been this sort of player - capable of the occasional decent performance/run of form before going back to putting in stinkers. He’s a lot like Miggy - a squad player at best for a side who are targeting CL. Schar has been imperious since the takeover and his decline is a recent one. Ideally he will be benched when Botman comes back. Botman’s stop-start return from injury and Lascelles’s struggle to recover on schedule has fucked us. A new CB is needed but our failure to upgrade RW predates the takeover. We have Murphy, who should be a rotation option, starting games. It’s the squad’s obvious weak spot Expand Some of us were pointing out last summer that he needed replacing because of his age, lack of pace and likely drop off in performance, and here we are. Yes RW needs addressing but it's still not #1 priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 7326 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I've heard a rumour we're expected to go in for Mbeumo in the summer. I doubt he'll be up to Gloomy's standards either. As for the priority, it remains what it was last summer. A centre back. Lascelles is 31 and recovering from an ACL. He wasn't the quickest to start with, he certainly won't be now. Burn isn't, for me, that far ahead of him and as others have said, Schar has dropped off. Botman - absolutely the standard and age bracket we need to build on, but struggles with injury. Only 6 sides have scored more goals than us this season, only 10 have conceded more. Defence is absolutely the priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
