Good enough at reasonable price but not demanding starting spot. You can use same what if Mee does a job on Watkins for Mings or Konsa. People expect Mings and Konsa to play every game if fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played at RB 19 times I think that was one season several seasons ago. He's no more a striker than lots of our attacking forwards he's just plugged a gap because Haller was a flop Antonio has been a striker for nearly 2 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People expect Mings and Konsa to play every game if fit I expected to go for Tosin from Fulham for £12 mill as he ticks multiple boxes. I’m sure they have it planned out but it is a worry. As you said we have players who can do a job if required up front. Cannot see Luiz etc dropping back into CD though if injuries Mount up… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if some players that didn't start out as strikers can do the job. P.S. Can't believe he's 31. Thought he was 27-28 tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Anyone else feel Gary Cahill would be a good shout as our back up centre back? Another experienced head to pass on wisdom, previous links with the club and won't block our own youngsters progress, just like Ashley Young. Not resigning with Crystal Palace it was confirmed today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that did occur to me too, a bit like Terry's last hurrah. He was injured a fair bit for Palace though, as you might expect at his age. Not convinced he would be a safe back-up if/when one of our preferred pair gets crocked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 If Cahill is fit he would make a lot of sense as a fourth choice defender for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
