I'm amazed no one thinks we need cover at CB: we have been very lucky with no injuries to to Konsa and Mings this season.I want another class CB; may persuade Smith that sometimes a back 3 is a useful fallback tactical approach.I'd love a Trossard or Pereira to come in as cover for Grealish.And, we'll need cover for Targett.
The problem is are we likely to find better under-studys than Hause and Engels given any potential new signing will know that Mings and Konsa are set in stone as a partnership.

Could cover RB at a stretch too. Also gives the option of switching to a three at times. Bit of a no brainer for me if the price was right.
Whilst I really loved him in the championship whenever I’ve seen him for manure he hasn’t looked great. Plus the injuries of course.

But is he fit often enough ? And more importantly is he massively better than the kids I see ripping up the U23’s well ahead of their age group and the likes of Dominic Revan n loan at Weymouth ?

Plus the injuries of course.The other question is, why would he want to leave their bench for ours?This is the issue with signing understudies, there are very few who are decent that will come unless there's a sniff of Champion's League football. It's been said many times before, but we ought to be looking to turn some of the current first team into back-ups. Apart from Martinez, Konsa and Grealish there are conceivable upgrades for all the others.
