Billy Big Balls Posted 24 June 2019 Share Posted 24 June 2019 Evans, Benko, Soyuncu, Morgan, Amartey plus the 37 u23 cbs we have is good depth without a maguire replacement. The big question is can benko or Soyuncu make the step up. They're never going to do it by sitting on the bench, look at what happened to Chilwell when we gave him a chance. It's a gamble but there are bigger holes to fill in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If maguire goes I would make lacaselle the priority to replace him. I like lascelles but Newcastle would want a lot of money and I'd be concerned about him going from hoofball to our pretty possession play. I'm not sure how he'd adapt. Then again, that's why I'm not a scout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 24 June 2019 Share Posted 24 June 2019 Don’t forget Pascanu, had a great game at Centre Half for Romania U/21s against England, definitely one for the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 24 June 2019 Share Posted 24 June 2019 36 minutes ago, Leeds Fox said: I doubt Ghana have a great pool to choose from. More importantly, they aren’t playing against top class strikers week in week out. The Ghana squad would get relegated in the Premier League. Oh and Jeffrey Schlupp has 18 Caps. (We all love Jeff but come on). I think you're being slightly harsh on the Ghana team there. Anyway, Amartey would be 5th choice CB at best. So if our 5th choice CB is winning awards at continental competitions we're not doing badly. On Schlupp, he's managed to hold down a PL place for 5 years, under multiple managers. So he can't be that bad either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy starting him and Evans next season. I still cant see anyone paying the asking price for Maguire though to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he can't be that bad either. I’m not slating either player, I like them both and think they’ve both got talents in their own rights. All I was saying, is that (in my opinion), I wouldn’t class Amartey as a reliable option at CB if we’re hoping to push further up the table. 5th choice like you say, yeah I’d take that. I just wouldn’t rely on him being consistent there for us in respect to the teams they’ll be facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr The Singh Posted 24 June 2019 Share Posted 24 June 2019 (edited) Everyone has forgotten about Kolo Tou're, he is still probably the best defender we have Edited 24 June 2019 by Dr The Singh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not? He will learn under BR and Kolo. He needs to play. Love this post. Nothing to do with its rhetoric, just the fact that I’d forgotton that Kolo is part of our staff and I bloody love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less presumption and attitude Frankie old son! It depends very much on what BR thinks but if Benkovic isn't properly fit or needs another season on loan and Soyunco is considered cover but not a starter then yeah we'll be likely getting in a replacement - we would all I'm sure love one of them to be an immediate shoe in, but I'm yet to see definitive evidence that they'll get their opportunity or are definitely ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
