Makes no difference whether its 2 left footed in 3 or two right footed, same issue occurs. The problem is when the only rihgt footed one is in the centre.

Actually, it would depend on the opposition and the way in which they set up i.e. whether they have one man playing through the middle up top (4-5-1 or 4-3-3), or two (4-4-2). If they have two up top, then the central defender becomes "spare" amd therefore a ball player, meaning his attributes should be pace (to cover the other two) and passing.

Don't think it will happen, more likely to get games here next season.
“Things like the award give me real hope of becoming a first-team regular and I’m thinking about next season already,” he said.
“I’ve got the Under-20 World Cup coming up, so I haven’t really got a summer but I’ll be ready for the pre-season, for the new manager and hopefully I’ll impress him.”
Quotes from Ross in the post 4 days ago
I don't manage a football team (respect to you), so my opinion won't look as strong as yours, but I would say in this system defender who lacks pace can only eventually play centrally, LCB and RCB would make it difficult, as as they have to cover more space and are more prone to be put in 1 on 1 situations in less tight spaces.Actually, it would depend on the opposition and the way in which they set up i.e. whether they have one man playing through the middle up top (4-5-1 or 4-3-3), or two (4-4-2).

Also, there is always a problem of playing 3-man defensive line against 4-5-1/4-4-4. Some coaches would never do that as they have 3 central defenders against one striker, so they will struggle in numbers elsewhere on the pitch. Some of them - mostly managed better teams - will risk going 3 on 3 at the back. And some of them would adapt trying to have their wingbacks working differently.
I heard today that baines had already said his goodbyes. There's a lot of bullshine going around.
Negredo just scored an amazing goal against Valencia - there's no way we will be able to get him during the summer. It was clear to me already a few weeks ago, when I spotted he is close to 20 league goals, but now chances are even more slimmer. Only chance for us get players with high reputation like him it's when they are struggling, not when they are shining like him at the moment.
We could do with sending him to Manchester united's new coaching team for a season, we could pick him up for about a fiver then.

Actually, I relish playing teams with 1 striker! It means my central man picks up their middle striker man-for-man with my other two defenders "spare" so they push wide and push the wing backs higher up creating overloads on the flanks. You're quite right though, that now the requirement of pace shifts to the outside CB's as these are covering defenders.
When teams play two up top, your LCB and RCB go man-for-man with your middle man sweeping; hence pace being massively important for the central man.
My favourite thing about playing 3 CB's is how I can swiftly change emphasis further forward; I switch between 3-5-1-1 and 3-4-3 pretty often. If we're defending a lead, then I tuck my wing backs in to make a 5 at the back.

what do you guys think, would they be good signings?
Personally I would take all of these, also at a reduced price as they won't want to play in the Championship.
