CB isn't a priority area we also have Edmondson and Howson and Borges can play there...

I respect Nobby as he’s so wrong all the time that if you do the opposite to what he thinks you will win

Club have just posted a picture of Carrick on insta with a young lad who's signed his first pro deal.

 

Well at least now we know.

Yer again, it would appear Gibbo is acting on one of his 'hunches' - can see something in Michael Carrick (that others can't) and is keeping him. The new season is about 11 weeks away, do we expect Carrick to have absorbed all the lessons from this season and made major adjustments?

Personally and just my opinion, it'll be more of the same, really hope I'm wrong and that we have a crackin' season.

Our lottery has 36 numbers and you need 7 for the jackpot. If he could pick 29 numbers I’d pick the remaining 7 and win.

If he is gonna stay I'd rather they just say now tbh and communicate something, I will be far from happy but I'd still rather them say it so we get our head rounds it. There is no way he's gonna sack him. I thought he would be gone early this week but everything points to him saying now.

We have RVB, Fry, Edmundson, Lenihan at CB

What about right back, left back, midfield and upfront don't you think they are bigger priorities ?? I do !!

Looked like Wales' best player last time he turned out for them...

It's not like we need to improve our set piece delivery either, is it ??

Ah yes, let’s sign a player based on his set piece delivery alone. Why don’t we give Becks a shout, see if he fancies dusting his boots off.
 

Have a day off, he’s rubbish. If that’s where we’re setting our sights, enjoy another mid table finish…but don’t complain about it

Not at all, we have shown how rubbish we are at centre back all season, poor form from Rav Fry and Edmundson. Injuries for Rav and Fry. Lenihan out for the whole season.

 

we need at least one starting centre back.

Regarding Edmundson, I am keen to know fellow fans views on him as he seems to have become a bit of a laughing stock amongst our supporters.

My personal view on him is that as far as 4th/5th choice CB options go (which he will be once Lenihan returns) he is fine. Cost 500k and seems happy to be that back up option.

His performances were generally solid without being spectacular but thats what I would expect given his rank. He had some dodgy moments but don't recall him having a total stinker which has led fans to think he incompetent even has a squad CB. Unless he missed it.

We played him more than we should have last season due to injuries but he clearly here to be a back up and for that purpose I think he fine.

Looking to next season, are there many better 4th choice CBs in this league. Might be a some but wont be many.

But i may have missed something on Edmundson and I am over playing his competence.

How high can we expect the transfer kitty to be this summer? With Lath bringing in 20 million in January and most likely Hackney bringing in 20 too.. unrealistic to expect 20 million + on incomings? 

We spent £5m of Laths £20m on Whittaker

Your right on the fact as a 4th choice he should be fine, but I would expect a 4th choice to start around 6-8 games maximum in a season at CB.

 

The issue with Edmundson ironically is we seen too much of him.

 

this season he played too much due to injuries. It's why we need to go and sign a first choice centre back with a good track record of staying fit.

He's fine as back-up.

We should never have paid money for him when he was recalled, he was free in 6 months.

We should have kept and started Clarke.
