Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[Ian.]

I like the business we've done so far, but we really, really need to be looking at adding attacking players before we sign any more defenders or midfielders, surely?

I’m more concerned about a proper decent centre back. That was our biggest weakness last season. Obviously he needs to be comfortable on the ball, but someone who is commanding from set pieces. We shipped a lot of goals last season.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Reminds me of when we had a young Kyle Walker on loan, bags of pace going forward but very naive defensively.

Think we have a potentially great full back if he gets some game time and Unai does his usual in coaching him as he will.

We were fluid last season of Kamara dropping over to cover for the full back when one joined the attack. Unai will have them drilled with each knowing their responsibility.

Our biggest weakness last season was Cash at RB and seems to be so also start of this season so our number one priority now should be to get a new RB so we have two capable ones there in that new one and a maturing Ned OR a new RCB so that Konsa can be at RB with a maturing Ned.

He looks a big lad for 18 and seems to be rapid too.

When you read his social media stuff he doesn’t see himself as playing a bit part
he’s confident enough to believe he can be a regular starter

I suppose it all boils down to how it goes when he gets his chance

[eamonn]

What language does he socially mediate in ?

Do we fancy him to start v West Ham today ?

[AV84]

Other than Onana, I feel like he's the most likely of the new lads to feature. I'm not sure he'll start but I could see him coming on around the same time Digne and Moreno usually get switched.

He played the majority of the last friendly, didn’t he? That made me think he might he starting.

Be a tough debut if he's up against Bowen . Sometimes being thrown in at the deep end is best though .

Wrong thread.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did start. And I think he probably showed enough in preseason that he should definitely be in the conversation. I just also wouldn't be surprised if we stick with as many old faces as we can to start with.

[Dogtanian]

Yeah, I think tried and tested is the way we will go defensively for the opening games.
