Who plugs the gaps?

So on the way back from the game on Tuesday all the talk was about the fact we need to strengthen the defence in the window.

A new GK , a centre half and a right back ( sorry Mika) seem to be the problem areas.

Who do we go for though?

Quite a few options in terms of players who are in the last 6 months of their contracts.

Realistically we should be looking to spend a fair chunk to really solidify the back line.


GK -

Rafael - Napoli
Sven Ulriech - Bayern
Tim Krul - Newcastle


Right backs -

Joel Ward - Palace
Martin Caceres - Verona
Sebastian Jung - Wolfsburg

Centre Half -

Florentin Pogba - Saint Ettiene
Neven Subotic - Dortmund
Maxime Le Marchand - Nice

One from each of those brackets would be nice, but knowing us we will sign none

I’d have Tavernier in the team 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I still think Lustig has more about him defensively but Tav fits into BR's style of having the FB's create the width.

I also think Wes would be better suited than Gordon due to having decent distribution. Sadly thats about it

----------------------------------------------------------------------
John over Tierney obv
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we dont offer that boy a contract I will be fuming !

the lack of crosses is annoying me a bit tbh, it takes out a key part of griffiths game.

its to try and do what barca do as cross balls can lose posession but imo it only restricts play.

I think its effective if the team dominates the ball.

I wonder if the same pattern of goals conceded carries over to Domestic games?

Heard Madrid are looking to get rid of Bale tho.

maybe not a transfer but a loan move would help us
