We’ve signed a right back that’s a start

Looking forward to seeing this lad play.

Is it though? Our fans have been demanding a new right back for years, now we've gotten one. 

 

And it'd the 1st of, hopefully a few new faces in the coming days / weeks. 

It is, for me at least. 

 

Some fans have been demanding a new right back. Most others recognise we've the best right back in the league. I know there's a lot of hate for Tav these days but his stats speak for themselves in terms if his importance to our team. Look, I'm not against having two good right backs, competition is healthy and the last couple of right backs we've signed to compete with/cover Tav have got injured, so no complaints. I'm just a little surprised he's our first signing. A new left back would have made more sense, a centre half or two, a winger and a forward are all positions that are considerably weaker than right back. I'm just surprised this was the priority.

 

As you rightly say if we bring in players for those other positions too then no harm done.

I can see where you might be coming from but I would balance it by saying the supposed first 3 signings are a RB (Aarons), CB (Coady) and LB (Beck). Maybe we are literally building from the back

Yeah, that makes sense. Let's see what the coming days bring. I'd still like to see some attacking players signed, but I accept we all would.

We should always be looking to improve in every position.  

I don't care which we sign first, a CB or a striker, as long as we get them signed in time for the CL qualifier.

It's weird then that in footballing circles he's classed as highly-rated. What would they know. 

That's very vague. We don't know how highly rated he is. He plays in league 1 and the performance data I see shows he is not performing well defensively.

We have to trust the footballing department - we've been crying out for this for years so we need to trust it. 

 

Inevitably we'll get some wrong, but as long as we get the majority of them right, we'll be in a good place.

The first part of my response was tongue in cheek.

The context for me is that Russell Martin has a record of conceding far too many goals, so I am holding out hope he has learnt a lesson and gets us some proper, aggressive centre backs. I’ll get behind players once they sign but IF we do buy soft centre backs I do reserve the right to say I told you say like I did with Davies, Propper and several others.
