Honestly had no idea where to put this.

Mods please merge if already on the Forum.

Surely we can find a Right Back and a Centre Back?

Why would we sign players from poor a poor league who have just come back from a long winter break and probably won't be fit.

Because they will still be better than Keane and Holgate?

We have no space in squad, unless Gbamin leaving freed up a space... Altho he might now be coming back?!

That French lad who went to CSKA might do a job.

Anyone playing at that standard probably isn't better.

I can assure you I won't enjoy it, but I'm just being realistic. There are no simple answers at the back this season. Our other options are just as bad as our starting defenders. Holgate Keane Branthwaite Godfrey - none of them can defend properly. Mina could defend properly but he's irrelevant now because he can't stay fit. He's of no use to us and should have been sold last year.

Wasn't he also a centre back when we signed him?

I'm willing to try anything so that we don't have to start Keane and Holgate.
