I don't think it means that at all. We'll need at least one new centre half, and possibly two, even if Evans signs a new contract. So we could very easily end up with both Evans and Coady.

We’ve lost Soyuncu and Amartey and the club will do everything it can to get rid of Vestergaard. If it succeeds, we’ll only have Faes, Souttar and Evans (if he signs). I think at least five senior CBs is the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get laughed at for saying this but I can actually envisage Enzo giving Vestergaard a chance - if Enzo is looking at playing a possession dominant Man City style game, where the defenders don't actually have to do much defending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely everyone should start with a clean slate, we have 2 weeks of pre season before the first friendly that's a fair amount of time to have a look at last seasons unwanted before making a decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an awful lack of pace there. I can see Vesty and Soutar getting a run together or else either with Faes. I would try Faes in the DM role breaking up attacks. He's comfortably on the Ball. But it's early days yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have gone into this make-do and mend mode again with our suggestions, we need round pegs in round holes, not to do so in this rebuilding situation would be a dereliction of duty.

It’s worked for us before admittedly a long time ago but I don’t see us getting two CBs in unless we shift someone else out.. they’ll not see CB as a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 22 June 2023 Share Posted 22 June 2023 (edited) How much is Coady on? £50k per week at least surely. I presume we'd have to at least match that to entice him to drop down a division. I just don't see how we can do that. I think I'd rather we went in for a younger, cheaper option like Ronnie Edwards at Posh. Edited 22 June 2023 by SouthStandUpperTier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have already saved a good few 100k on all the players out of contract, so as long as we're not offering silly salaries for every player, then it shouldn't be a problem here. Especially when it's somebody who's captain material and likely our best centre back then we can push the boat out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 23 June 2023 Share Posted 23 June 2023 If we get hom, this is a great starting point for signings and the rebuild. The exact character we need. Get a few young lads in with him as captain would work. Though him and Vards would be a nightmare pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
