I am not impressed with Dumfries.

I would much rather pursue any of the following:
1. Zeki Celik
2. Davide Calabria
3. Emerson
4. Santiago Arias
5. Stefan Lainer
6. Noussair Mazraoui
7. Diogo Dalot
8. Thomas Foket

What are you basing this off of? Was very good in the Euros which I’m sure is the only time most have watched him with any real intent.

In his highlights reel, he never looks in control of the ball. If that’s the highlights then I’d be worried.
Besides, never bug players off an international tournament, you could end up with Besic or Mina. Remembeff red Mina scoring loads in the World Cup is a case in point.

Ask people who actually watched him. He was one of the stand-out players. Go back a few pages of this thread and see people saying we should have signed him up before the euros started because we'd now have no chance.

I like to see RBs/LBs that have:
- excellent close control when in possession in tight locations especially when recovering the ball while facing their own goal and under a press from the offense.
- ability to contain the dribbler to the outside, while remaining close enough to press a challenge on loose touches while not being beat inside and good reactions to stop the cross.
- good positioning on set pieces, and awareness for runners coming in off the shoulder when the squad is shifting to defend the opposite flank.

I am all for attacking fullback play (specifically when their two footed and present a challenge cutting inside as well as getting to the byline) but they must be defenders first in my mind.

In what I have seen of Dumfries he is more of a pacey athlete that has a haphazard touch and is much more suited for attacking aspect of fullback play then defending. In fairness, I only recall seeing him play for PSV twice so I could be off in my assessment.

To be honest, any reasonably competent right back will improve us.
I am not alone though in thinking that he doesn’t have the close control.
