goose2010 Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 Seems like a good signing if we get it over the line. Versatile young and will fit into the squad well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 It's only us and the press who seem to view this signing as a like for like replacement for Chillers. Assembling a squad is a tad more complicated than one out / one in. This signing has perhaps more to say about Riccy P's future. JJs long term position. And the young lads stock at LB. Is TC shite? - clearly not!! So let's embrace it, if and when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SouthStandUpperTier Posted 31 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2020 Aren't we jumping to conclusions by assuming that Castagne will play LB? That's if we even sign him. Anyway, for those of you who are assuming he is a Chilwell replacement, here is some food for thought; Possession lost (per game) 2019/20 Chilwell 21.7 Castagne 8.9 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A winger would be ideal but we were caught napping a bit when the defence crumbled last season. The club wont want that to happen again. Going by recent form its a transfer to keep us ticking over should the sharks come circling for one of our marquee players. Great stat by the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieTodger Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 Happy we’re closing in on him and his versatility is an asset, but it’s odd that we’re not going for an out and out left back. Maybe they really see Thomas as the long term solution there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 1 hour ago, peach0000 said: They are left backs simple. Perhaps we don’t want to play with a left back. Rodgers switched to a three enough times. Players left wing back and then switches to the right when Ricardo goes to Madrid for £120m next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t even signed yet and you’re getting on BR back for playing him out of position. FFS come on Rodgers has a history of doing this, he did it a liverpool playing joe gomez, nathaniel clyne and glen johnson at left back and it didnt work. I feel like it's fair to get annoyed at him making the same mistakes 5 years on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bothers me as much as switching to three at the back if we're just going with Rodgers and Congerton now over our previous network for finding players.

I don’t know enough about Castagne to say whether he plays in the final third much (getting crosses in, trying to play intricate passes etc).

HoustonFox Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 He’s a good player but, a right footed left back with Harvey in front as an inverted winger doesn’t give us much width down that side. Would still prefer a Tagliafico or Gosens but don’t think either want to join us. Better than Bryan and Targett though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 Come on, we start every transfer spree with a right back in first. This will be the 4th time in the last 5 years. Hernandez, Ricardo, Justin, Castagne. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 Interesting to see Dorsett still linking Tagliafico and Gosens. Wonder if they're still an idea and we're looking at both them and Castagne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
