Summer transfer madness thread

Why sign a right back when you have loads of right backs, on the basis that one can cover left back? Why not just sign a left back and make do with the multitude of contenders we already have for the right back position?

Who plays left wing back? Taylor? Looks like a conventional left back to me

Terry also is seen as not suited to the formation

I just don't like so many defenders. Under John Gregory we used to play 8 players whose primary job was defending or winning the ball. I worry we'd be similar under Bruce

Johnstone

Chester terry baker

Elmohamady Jedinak whelan Taylor

Lansbury

Kodjia hogan

Yuk

Taylor has played left wing-back for Wales for some time now, but I don't think it really suits him.  For me he is a old style kind of left back who works best with a winger playing in front of him. 

I guess one of the number of right backs we have could cover on the other side if he is injured or suspended.  I remember Bacuna covering there a couple of seasons ago for a few games and doing OK.

We're now being linked with Joe Hart

I'm not that keen on Hart but, being from Shrewsbury, he'll at least have an idea that we're a big deal of a club, even in reduced circumstances.

Yuk indeed
               Johnstone

Bree - Chester - Terry - Taylor
                 
                 Jedinak

Adomah - Lansbury - Hourihane - Green

                   Kodija

And that leaves plenty on the bench....even I could get a tune out of that lot I reckon.

That's what I would go for and if a target man comes in up front, we could always use Kodjia out wide.  He was poor in his few appearances last season, but I'm hoping Bjarnason can show more this coming season and can offer some much needed goals from midfield.

Everyone has their own opinion and are entitled to it, but I cannot honestly believe that people are quibbling about us potentially signing Joe Hart.  When you look at who we had in goal for us last season, I would be absolutely ecstatic if he came to us.

Me, too.

He's so good, he's even united me and Tom!

Splitter! I was born in Shrewsbury and still I've turned my back on my own, just so that I can carry on disagreeing with Tom! I feel like Yanis Varoufakis, Alexi.

[cdbearsfan]

I can never think of Yanis Varoufakis without being reminded of the good old days watching Czech Republic hoof the ball up to Jan Koller, while Baros waits lustily for the scraps.

That's because you SOLD OUT.

[cdbearsfan]

Shouldn't I have some money on that basis? Ben Elton isn't short of a few quid.

I'm not even any good at selling out. 😔

[Sexual Ealing]

Just come back with me now. The party will look after you.

[cdbearsfan]

Will there be cake?

[Sexual Ealing]

The best cake. The biggest cake. Cake like they wish they had. And you'll eat the cake. What cake do you like? Chocolate? That's what we have. We call it 'chocolate cake'. We love it! Our cake wins.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm in. Sorry Tom, sorry Joe.
