Matty Cash plays as a midfielder, and occasionally as a right back.

You must be one of the very few that think so - we have 2 LBs, neither of whom can defend worth a crap. Midfield is probably even more pressing, by LB isn't far behind

Thank Christ for that.

So few of the ones we have seem to.

Too late, Bilic stated even he didn’t realise how good Diangana is

Oh, and a loan for someone like Sakho/Maiga.
Paid in Woolworths gift certificates!

Forest are good bet to come up. Why would a player want to join someone looking like they could swap places in their divisions and have their new wage deal cut by 50%?

Looks like a classic "we did try and spend some money...honestly" ruse to me.

That is a medically induced original :lol: feel free to plagiarise it at parties and other social gatherings :wink:

Their confidence is paper thin you'd think scoring 4 would at least last a couple of games but they seem just as scared of playing as ever.

How much financial trouble are we actually in when we have to pay £10m in instalments, I know most transfers are done that way but for gods sake we’re the 18th richest club in the world paying next to nothing each year in rent.
When people take over football clubs they know that they are going to have to invest a lot of their money to make that team competitive, if they wanted to make money or balance the books there is only one true reason for that, selling the club in the near future

We are not in financial trouble. We are owned by profiteers who are milking every penny they can. I hope they are doing this because they are planning on selling as you say, but I've lost all optimism. Why would they slash the books in 2020 if they'll be taxed on a sale of the club until 2023? They could simply be doing it because they are utter c**** who don't give a f***.

None we are cakeo but being robbed blind by a pair of leeches, who's only care is to make as much money as they can.

I don't have much of an issue with our LBs relative to a lot of areas

When our midfield works, and is not overrun, our LBs actually look good IMHO, especially Masuaku

Fix the midfield and the fullbacks become much less of a concern

I think RB is more of an issue than LB

Tuppence and Ha'ppeny might stretch our budget but the owners will probably offer shrapnel in part exchange instead
