Just some banter mate
On topic, you still think Oviedo is good enough for us? I think he's past his best.
GK
Joel Robles
*
Robles took over from Howard and IMO we looked a lot tighter at the back, we still conceded some silly goals, but he came in and looked decent, but does decent cut it? I think we need to go and grab a really good GK, not a decent 1, but a top drawer game saving legend, I would have no complaints with retaining Robles as a cup keeper and a solid back up, but how would Robles feel about that?
I wont speculate on names, we have the transfer thread for that, but the spine of any team is important and we really need to get in a really good keeper as a matter of urgency.

Yeah I'd imagine City will go all out for him now that Laporte has committed to Athletic Bilbao. He seemed to be Guardiola's main target and looked to be on the way. Even Bilbao admitted they were expecting him to leave and were looking at CBs to replace him.
Stones certainly fits the Guardiola template
RB
Seamus Coleman
*
60k, what a player, seemed like he actually forgot how to cross last season, hes never been AMAZING at crossing, hes more the cutting inside and rifling into the roof of the net RB and as a full back hes been superb over the years for me. Defensively his positional play is sometimes lacking, but we have a manager now who values and knows how to defend.
Ideally we would sign somebody to come and push Seamus for his place, keep him on his toes and able to slot in when needed, as an extra this chap could also play CB at a push, but its difficult for people to play RB and CB as easily as they used to in the past, the modern fullback is a world away from the likes of Tony Hibbert defending first type RBs.

If Zat was DOF we'd have that sorted by now with Butland, Leno and Rico all wearing royal blue err green or yellow.
LB
Luke Garbutt
Bryan Oviedo
Leighton Baines
Now im gonna try and be totally honest in this whole write up and potentially leave myself open to much vaulting, but here goes, I personally wouldnt have given Oviedo a new contract, I like the boy, hes got heart and he gives everything he has, at times hes superb and I know im being totally unfair but I dont think hes good enough, BUT, as a squad option, I can see the value and the reason he was given 1.
Garbutt is a strange 1 for me, the floppy haired beaut looked decent when he played, wand of a left foot and didnt look bad at the back, but I just really dont like him, cant put my finger on it, sorry Luke, you seem a decent lad, so forgive me, you still have time to grow on me, but I wouldnt shed tears to see you leave, hopefully you ram these words down my throat next season.
Leighton Baines has his doubters, but I will never be 1 of them, an utterly superb specimen of a man and football player.
No transfers needed here, POSSIBLY could afford to lose Garbutt or Bryan, but Garbutt still has potential and Oviedo is a good body to have around.
