As for the U23s, I don't think anyone's ready yet but it will be interesting to hear how Rich-Baghuelou gets on at the Olympics, assuming he gets on the pitch, of course.

Will we stick, or get another, or do we have anyone ready as back up from U23? I'd have thought we'd want a range of seniority in the position, and ideally leave a gap in the squad for an u23. Tomkins is the main man, Andersen second given his age and experience, then Guehi, who will expect to play lots of games given Tomkins injury record, then finally the best u23 Centre back, who will play on occasion when injuries and suspension bite. On top of all this kouyate can of course drop in again, so we've always got options and cover.

Also if we ever get Ferguson fit he apparently can play anywhere across the back line.

There was an interesting piece in the papers about Paratici the new man at Spurs. One of his favoured techniques in negotiations when at Juve was to identify one target he really wanted but to express interest elsewhere simply to drive the price down as it was less possible to hold him to ransom. Is Dougie learning new skills? Originally posted by doombear

In seriousness, if we sign another centre back after Andersen then we will run the risk of blocking the development of the ones we've signed already. Get Andersen in, then move on to other parts of the pitch.

How in the world is LB sorted? We’ve got two raw, unconvincing kids in there at the moment. It’s the position I think we need to strengthen most.

I think we are going to move to a back three, so doubt Mitchell will be left back, he will play further forward but with defensive duties

Just read that he’s passed a medical for us.
In dog beers I’ve only had one. |
