Also, as good value as Hause was, and is, he's a frightful oaf on the ball and we're only one injury away from him being a starter, with children as cover. That's a chilling thought. Hause didn’t let anyone down last season, I thought he was great value at £3m. He’s so strong in the air, he is reliable back up 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us fans need to stay with the players when they make mistakes and not get on their backs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We still need another CB thou, regardless of how Hause performed last season. We had Elmo play at CB twice last season, albeit in the cup. That's just not good enough moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the mention from people on here of Kamara who plays DM but CB also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Wasn’t there some links to Attila Szalai, the Hungarian CB a while back? He looks ok on some of the YouTube clips, plays fullback on occasion too I believe. I seem to remember is being linked to Botman last year as well.

Wouldn't want him starting but he was solid when he deputised last year. I think it was perhaps due to the fixtures favouring him. Think Burnley, Albion and Palace were his first few games. We do need another centre half yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s so strong in the air, he is reliable back up Hause is our best centre back in the air but I worry a bit about his distribution. He's one of those that I'm more than happy with being a backup CB for us but I kind of feel bad for him because he's easily good enough to be a starter somewhere else. Does he want to spend the best years of his career on the bench? That's down to him I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 If we're signing a centre half, I'd like us to pick up a 20yr old from the Championship/abroad for around 10-15m. Someone that is happy to learn their trade but good enough if they need to play 5-10 matches this season. I have no idea who that is. Someone like a Joe Rodon I guess.

Looked to have a pretty good season for Swansea. No idea if he'd be available though but someone like that would be a good young backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite rough around the edges but clearly highly rated. Can play DM as well. Just as a squad option. Then we can bring in a DM like Kamara as well.
