RowlattsFox Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 In our position, versatility will be crucial as long as they decent in all of their positions. Would prefer a fully fledged left back though, but if this guy, Justin and Fuchs when fit can do a job then hopefully we can use bigger money in other positions.

We are so ****ing massive now that we need a superstar in every position. The idea that we are potentially adding an experience player who has versatility and can play in a number of positions is just not good enough apparently. Despite many teams similar or slightly larger then us doing the same, is just not good enough. We should be competing with Chelsea and Real Madrid don’t you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's like Man Utd fans saying Van De Beek is only signing to sit on the bench behind Pogba and Fernandes. Quite clearly won't be true and if anything maybe they're future-proofing for when/if Pogba leaves or just knowing that with so many games this season he will be needed and will play. Some fans just won't ever be fully pleased regardless who we sign. Even if Messi came here some fans would moan saying 'actually, think we need someone more right footed to play when going forward' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive gamble given the uncertainty over when we would be able to recoup any overspend. the only clubs doing any business right now are City - we all know about their bankrolling, and Chelsea whose transfer ban has actually been a blessing for them giving them a big stack of cash to spend in a buyers market. We will make signings, just don’t Ben expecting £100m of money that we don’t have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not true though is it they're the only clubs spending 75m+ but nearly all other clubs have done business and some have done around 50m of nett purchases thus far it will be a quieter window than usual - that’s for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid 30m last summer for a second striker/attacking midfielder in Perez because "oh he can play out wide if we need him to". Why aren't we making purchases that fill the holes we have in the team? No team has ever had long term success by filling square hole with round players. If we're so worried about versatility then why don't we go and sign a left back that can also play on the wing given they're the two slots in our side where we have virtually no cover whatsoever. Overpaying for an right back that doesn't improve us makes absolutely **** all sense when we're supposedly short of cash and when we're absolutely desperate for a left back and a winger. I appreciate that some on here are giddy that we might look like we're out to buy someone but on the face of it this is a transfer that we shouldn't be making. Concentrate resources on the task in hand - replacing Chilwell. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
