Seeing as we've not improved the rest of the squad whatsoever, we'll likely be vulnerable regardless of football style, so why not play 8 centre backs?
I feel our boy Chris Hughton would be nodding from afar.

Indeed he would. I'm sure those improvements will come, though. This bout of rumours and flurry of alleged activity today confirms to me that Potter has spent the past month or so assessing the squad before deciding what measures to take. He's apparently decided that Clarke needs a loan, we need more quality at CB and that we need a striker (which we all knew). And given we've been passingly linked with both CM's and RB's, I'd assume they're on the shopping list too

Classic how people moan we don’t sign hungry brutish players, and then when we do they complain.

Since promotion to the premier league, we’ve signed:

Ryan
Button
Steele
Schelotto
Suttner
Bernardo
Balogun
Burn
Clarke
Propper
Bissouma
Izquierdo
Jahanbaksh
Locadia
Trossard
Andone

Have any of those players been much better than the player that they replaced?

I’m afraid I don’t have much faith in our recruitment.

Ryan Good signing
Button back up untested
Steele back up untested
Schelotto iffy
Suttner not really given a chance
Bernardo Good signing
Balogun Time will tell
Burn looks promising
Clarke not sure why we signed him
Propper Great signing
Bissouma Great signing
Izquierdo Good signing once fit
Jahanbaksh Time will tell - could be a great signing or a load of tosh
Locadia Looking very promising based on pre season
Trossard looks a good signing
Andone once given a proper chance, who knows what he can do?

I disagree with you! :)

I don't know about hungry, but these boys are definitely Brutish.

I know where you are coming from.....

Steele definitely better than Casper!!
Bernardo
Propper

Clarke - too early to say
Trossard - too early to say

Izquierdo - fence
Bissouma - promising

In terms of the others, I honestly don’t think we can say they’ve definitely improved the team based on what we’ve seen so far....(iMO)

(That doesn’t mean they won’t turn it round)

Perhaps Balagun is off.......

Quite possibly but has he yet even returned to training? Suspect from what we've heard of Potter that he would want to assess him himself before loaning out or selling Balogun. Might leave a decision on his future pretty late in the day.

Suttner not really given a chance. Been at the club long enough and failed to make an impression
Bernardo Good signing
Balogun Time will tell. Great start, ended up disappointing. Can see him being loaned out
Burn looks promising.
Clarke not sure why we signed him. I can. Only 22 and has raked up lots of appearances already. 5 million is peanuts. Could be quality in a couple of years time.
Propper Great signing
Bissouma Great signing
Izquierdo Good signing once fit. Great first season. To predictable though
Jahanbaksh Time will tell - could be a great signing or a load of tosh. To date a massive failure
Locadia Looking very promising based on pre season. Another expensive flop to date
Trossard looks a good signing. Really impressed with him in pre season. Looks the real ,deal
Andone once given a proper chance, who knows what he can do? Don't rate him. Away at Arsenal he really was poor. Sums up his ability

I disagree with you! :)[/QUOTE]

Just correcting a few flaws.

Resigned to losing Dunk now I’m afraid.

Imagine the Maguire - Dunk - Webster moves will have a domino effect, BHAFC and LCFC wanting to get their replacements in place before United seal the transfer of Maguire.

Thanks for the memories Lewis and good luck.
