What is a left footed centre back, I do not recognise this description. Are they real?

Sold one to a league one rival 

 

Disappointed we didn't see TWB and Gray in pre season knowing all our CBs wanted out

I was looking at his name and trying to find the pun about signing no one or being relegated lol

"We want experienced CB not young ones, so no loans" something like that RM said. ok it's not a loan but not experienced, that chap doesn't half waffle.

 

Might be a good signing though.

Martin my want those things but the club might have other ideas.

 

We've got three experienced centre backs on the books plus the injured Nelson. Signing a young talent who should be able to play this level, play the preferred brand of football and increase in value may be to good to turn down. The expectation may have been he'd go to a bigger league but it's not panned out so we are trying to get a deal done.

 

Like it as a potential deal. Still time to bring Dawson out of retirement when we offload a centre back or two.

In all seriousness based on the fact he’s 19, wanted by some decent teams, 6’6 and can actually pass a ball… surely we have no chance

This would rank as the 6th highest League One incoming transfer of all time. Cullen is also probably in the top 20 assuming the rumours on his fee are true.

 

He's the kind of profile that we should be looking at, but don't tell me that we are cutting our cloth accordingly for League One. It's promotion or bust.

Links to players like this make me feel so much more optimistic, despite what’s happening on the field.

 

Just want signings like this to be the blueprint of our recruitment.

Highest incoming fee for their league as well. We are definitely overpaying on this one, but hopefully it’s well worth it.

I'll take a 6'6, highly promising, somewhat obscure 19 year old touted as the next Sami Hyppia over another manager panicking and calling for "more experience" because his job is on the line after two games because he can't coach a defence. 

 

Especially when he's got about 70 senior international caps worth of centre back in the squad already. 

 

This, this, and absolutely… this.

 

It’s one link / rumour, but the fact we’re actually going against what the manager said is actually refreshing.

 

For too long we’ve had the tail wagging the dog in the transfer market. About time that changed.

 

(and yes I’m not oblivious to the McCarthy, Cullen signings, just hope this is a step in the right direction).

Sorry to burst your bubble Ric, but apparently he's right footed. Seems at least capable of playing on the left though!

Finnish FC Inter supporter here, Kangasniemi is one of the most promising (if not the most promising) center back to come from Finland after Hyypiä. He has been a revelation this season and the consensus is that he already should be in Finlands next national team squad. As a player he's truly one of kind in Finland, being agressive, tall, suprisingly fast and skillfull. He's also a good passer of the ball (short and long) and an amazing dribbler for a center back. Still makes the occasional mistake which is natural for a center back of his age, but I'm certain he will learn from them. He was also exceptional when we knocked out Basaksehir from the UEFA Conference league. I think he lost two duels in the whole pair against Davie Selke and the likes. He had interest from all over europe, including the top-5 leagues, Denmark etc. The reported price is 2,5mil €, with certainly some sort of sell-on clause. And YLE is the finnish national broadcaster, so they wouldn't report about it if there wasn't atleast some truth to the story.

Thanks. I'm sold. Hope it's true!
