Boyata is a weird one. When the guy has no time to think he’s actually a good defender give him time and he makes mistakes. I don’t know if selling him then being left with a new signing who could be better could be worse plus Ajer, Compper and Jozo is smart. Point I’m trying to make is we need to buy before we sell. We should get new guys in and see if they are looking good before we go selling what we have

It's like the serious problems we have recruiting good defensive players don't really exist, when all the evidence suggest they do. Chancel Mbemba only has a year more left on his contract than Boyata, hasn't played a competitive game for his club since January and is being touted for £8m. Bjorn Engels, one of the defenders that did not get in the Belgian squad ahead of Boyata signed for Olympiakos last summer for £6.4m.

Jonny Evans moved for 3m. It's about looking.



Johnny Evans had a relegation clause and earns the best part of £100,000 a week. It's about getting effing real.
His agent got paid £4 million for the deal too. Madness

It's 22 June. Are folk honestly talking about our business being done for the summer?
I wasn't replying to that and certainly not panicking. I was replying to a couple of posts who seemed content with the current options in defence.

Don't you realise it's the close season and we only have 30 minutes left to get someone in for the UCL play-off's that happen tonight at 5.00pm :( . We've a manager who hasn't a clue what he's doing (imagine only wining 6 out of the 6 national competitions you enter - scandalous :angry: ), and we're on the brink of being relegated to the 2nd division of the SPFL after that inexcusable loss in training yesterday against the skins :rubeyes: (and yes, losing the toss-up for a 5 a-side bounce game in training does count towards our plummeting coefficient to qualify for the UCL over the next 10 years :Bye: )

You're the one who needs to get real :comp:

We've known we need a right back and a centre back for the guts of a year. If our scouts cant find a suitable candidate that we can afford then they should all be chased.

It's just as well the board starve the manager of money when he is so pish. I'd prefer they got rid of him actually.

Hayes was a bizarre signing. 29 years old at the time, never going to be first choice, now looks to be going on loan at the age of 30. We should just cut our losses and sell him.

We need two top class players.

A right back & a center half.

If Jozo is given something to strengthen his backbone we need a right back and cover at left back

Not much to ask for

A fully mobile and quality right back would make a tremendous difference to our team

It’s not. None of our right backs are good enough.

We've only got one LB.

If KT get's injured, we're screwed

Improving the first XI is obviously much more important than signing a back-up player.

Also, we've got more than one LB. Miller is back up LB. He's shampooe, but no worse than the cover we have at RB.
