The centre back thread

Probably playing alongside Jordan Ibe the next Sterling..

Rio gives me Ibe vibes right now.... kinda similar we all thought Ibe was going to be quality at first, hope i'm wrong obviously but it's all good pacey and being fast and getting past players, but you need the end product, a lot of players struggle with that.

I remember watching oliver burke live at forest, (best mate at the time supports them) looked like he was gonna be world class pace and power the next bale people was saying, got his 15m move to RB leipzig..... then yeah didn't really work out, saw him player for birmingham when he was on loan from werder bremen, dogshit

doesn't seem to be doing too awful for union berlin mind.

Dowman and Nwaneri look class for Arsenal, pretty sure dowman will have a good career, not 100% top clubs but top tier imo and might turn out world class.

You shouldn’t knock Rhys Williams

He’s the case for the defence

If you remember one of the seasons I criticised Jurgen was for playing Fab & Hendo at CB

I said he should play Phillips and Williams at CB and it would work better as they’d then be protected by our press and our forwards supported by it

He eventually did and we ended up scraping top four

But that shows just how important the press and counter press is to our defenders and forwards

Chico Lamba looks worth a good look

Joane Gadou definitely worth going back for a look at

There’s a lad plays CB or RB at St Ettiene I came across worth a look too, just 18 so get him not would be one HG

Slot wasn’t interested in Jacquet I take it, He has always struck me as. Phil Collins fan 😂

Oh fuck that is absolutely terrible he can’t be that old either it must be an incredible shock I hope he gets the support from the club and manager Jurgen gave Bradley

Thoughts are with Ibou

Do you mean Alison?

Do you mean Alison?

I should have included Alisson I hadn’t forgotten him Jurgen helped Connor a lot and I focused on that as he was far younger as Ibou is
