BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If there is genuine premier league interest Traore will want to leave, I've no doubt about that. It will be best for the player and the club, keeping a player against his will is pointless, it always ends badly. I think sometimes people forget that players are human beings, this isn't a game of football manager, it's the same as when people say "we should just send player x off to China", players have a huge say in which club they join, it's not a slave trade.

Snowblind 1,711 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Cyrus Christie was good up until this season. Had an off year last year. If he was brought in as competition for Fabio, I'd be content as I'd trust him more than Barragan... Especially on throw ins... Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 987 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd be against signing Christie because he doesn't improve on what we have. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 EverythingMFC @EverythingMFC Boro have expressed an interest in #dcfc defender Cyrus Christie, who is available for around £1.5m. #boro [Telegraph] i'd take him for that amount According to Transfermarkt his contract is running out this month. lol ok, then I'll take him for free :P Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Derby fans reckon he's not very good, Chris Baird gets a start over him. from what I recall, had a good start and then never got back to form after an injury. I don;t think the change in manager and tactics have helped him - was excellent under SMacs first time around Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'd be against signing Christie because he doesn't improve on what we have. Basically agree. We don't need more like for like signings. We need improvements every time we buy a player. Link to post Share on other sites

New players should be ahead of our current ones so that the ones we already have need to improve to keep their spots. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Derby fans reckon he's not very good, Chris Baird gets a start over him. i actually read up on him, the say he cant defend. but his is very good going forward which means he's a miles better option than barragan who cant do either. :D Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I know everyone hates Barraghan but I feel like he'd be ok as a backup to Fabio, he's also pretty good cover at cb. Right back isn't a priority for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Right back isn't a priority for me. Agreed, as a defender Barragan is fine, its going forward that is his issue. We need to remember he played behind Traore and Stuani, neither of which really helped him out. Traore left him exposed at times and although Stuani does the defending, he's limited going forward so Barragan always had to push up with him. I think he would have performed better with someone more competent going back and forward, like Adomah. He has spent the vast majority of his career playing top flight football for a reason. Keep him off throw ins though. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Maybe he's indicated that he wants to go back to Spain, I see we've also been linked with a left back from Preston. Link to post Share on other sites
