boksicdink 1,937 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It's all gone very quiet... I watched the Brighton game yesterday and I think Dan Burn ticks all the boxes for what we are missing at the back. - Massive presence (something we are really lacking) in both boxes - Decent passing - From the NE originally - Brighton have got a ton of defenders - Left footed A fairly big drawback would be his pace but then if you have some like Dijksteel in the back three with him, hopefully he could provide him with some cover. I personally think we could do a lot worse than him Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,246 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He's getting game time at Brighton. I don't imagine, he's a realistic target in that sense. Link to post Share on other sites

boksicdink 1,937 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think he is on the fringes, but the point probably still stands. I guess the main draw for him would be being first choice and to come back to the area...probably is unrealistic though. Definitely like Flint but with passing. I think that kind of player is what we need in the middle of the back three. Hall cant do it by himself. Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Johnson 612 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is Bamba left footed? No just one legged! See we are linked with a Wimbledon left back ( sorry if posted before) Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 264 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) It's incredibly quiet on transfer news since Chuba. We must still be working on a few more? 3 or 4 would you reckon? CB,LB,dare I suggest a creative type player and the 4th striker. About right? Link to post Share on other sites

With Coulson and Bola in the squad, I'd be surprised if we were looking at an LB. And the fact we haven't signed one as a priority suggests that we were never in the market for a first choice one. I'd say if we were going to sign any kind of full back/wing back, it would be a right sided one as competition for Spence, but to be honest I don't think we'll do that either. A centre back, a No.10/winger and a striker to come in, I reckon. Anyone else would be a bonus loan when the PL window closes and players don't make the 25 man squads.

I think in mid-august we were after one and Warnock said we went after the Celtic lad. After that didn't work out Johnson signed a new contract and I think that ended our search for a left back. I think we will either sign a centre back or a right back. Djik will then play in which ever position we don't sign. Link to post Share on other sites
