My bet is on a 20-22yr old attacking full back from somewhere in Europe. Which I’m fine with. We desperately need to start moving some of our players out the door too.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Most speculation has been towards the left back, backup, does this suggests we are happy with RB backup options? Edited June 17, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with that, if he's fit then Digne is starting every week, LB back up gives us the chance to try and polish a gem, I'm hoping lange takes a punt on someone we've never heard of And then we can spend his entire career on here ripping him to shreds and calling for lange's head...

How are our big CB’s not scoring more for example. I got curious of what the actual figures were. So here's a ranking. 1-Man City-41 goals scored by players other than forwards last season 2-Chelsea-33 goals 3-Liverpool-23 goals 4-West Ham-22 goals 5-Arsenal-20 goals 6-Brentford-19 goals 7-Wolves-18 goals 8-Newcastle-18 goals 8-Southampton-18 goals 10-Aston Villa-15 goals 11-Everton-14 goals 12-Tottenham-13 goals 12-Leicester-13 goals 14-Man United-11 goals 14-Crystal Palace-11 goals 16-Brighton-9 goals 16-Burnley- 9 goals 18-Leeds-8 goals 19-Watford-5 goals 19-Norwich-5 goals Don't agree with these? Take it up with understat's database. As usual there are some weird ones in there in who exactly counts as a "forward" and who doesn't. I will say they're not very strict with who counts as a forward, but I think being more strict would push villa up even further in the rankings. Since I've had to exclude Jacob Ramsey's goals because he counts as a forward according to them. Maybe instead of calling these forwards, calling them attacking players would be better.

For me it's the same as archer as the 3rd choice striker, give KKH at least a look during pre season and then if he's not good enough try and get a body in on loan towards the end of the summer Chambers and Konsa could cover there in an emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen us linked with any right backs. Only full-backs i've seen linked with is Bassey, Sergio Gomez and Quentin Merlin who are all left-backs. The lack of speculation around right-back means we will pull someone unknown out of the bag or are going with KKH.

I think its more accurate to say attacking players than forwards for my list. The decomposition is actually Cash-4 Mcginn-3 Luiz-2 Konsa-2 Chambers-1 Targett-1 Mings-1 Hause-1. 15 goals total Adding Ramsey into that list bumps it up to 22.

Not convinced KKH is ready for prem football and Guilbert is on his way out. A backup at RB should be made a priority just like it is at LB imo the ideal scenario would be to get hickey in who can cover both and play both sides.

We've offered a new contract to Ashley Young. We've not sold Guilbert. We've lots of cover for RB. The club don't want to block the pathway for KKH. He needs one Championship Loan and he'll be ready.

Young / Chambers are enough cover for Cash Konsa and Chambers are defenders, they can't do the attacking job that Cash and Digne do. Guilbert will probably go I thought Young was on the release list? That leaves KKH, who as you say may not be ready. we absolutely need a back up RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers has played 6 games at RB and 61 games at CB. He can act as cover, also Young will hopefully sign the new contract. Plus KKH is there too, if we needed to recall him in Jan if Cash was out longer term we could. So the idea that a back up RB is a priority is nonsense. We have Cash / KKH as our two longer term RBs. We've Digne and no understudy for LB. Plus we've seen Cash is very durable like Watkins, Digne has had a few injuries in his half season with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
