It's good we are seeing links to RB's, like Celik, but I really hope we start getting linked with some LB's. Davies is a decent back up, but I really think we should upgrade both of our 1st choice FB's.
no but then Matt Law is a journalist
That’s not correct about Matt Law, who’s shown before that he has good contacts within the club (including pre Poch dismissal).
I'm no fan of Aurier but these charts aren't a particularly fair comparison since they all compare vs league average. For example, Dumfries is roughly league average (in the Eredivisie) for interceptions blocks and clearances (5.4) but Aurier is way below league average (PL) at 6.6, despite the stat being higher in absolute terms. Same with several of the stats. Taken to its extreme, Dumfries being the best RB in the Eredivisie and Aurier being the worst RB in the PL wouldn't necessarily mean that Dumfries is better than Aurier (though he probably is)Christ that's shocking. He's clearly one of our weak links but I didn't think his stats would look that bad.
Ok that's good to know, but still shocking that Aurier is well below the league average in practically every area.I'm no fan of Aurier but these charts aren't a particularly fair comparison since they all compare vs league average.

Probably not, but with both of those outgoing it should be. Seems weird we'd rather buy a fourth CB and shoehorn Tanganga as a RB rather than just buy a backup RB.Is both Aarons and Celik a likliehood or or possibility ?
Tanganga has more chance playing as a RB and I think he played more in this positions for us than as a centerbackProbably not, but with both of those outgoing it should be. Seems weird we'd rather buy a fourth CB and shoehorn Tanganga as a RB rather than just buy a backup RB.
Just depends on where we see his long term spot. If he's a CB, with Europa league he should get plenty of opportunities. If he's a RB then thats fine. Just seems odd to buy Kim to push a Tanganga to play RB instead of just buy another RB.Tanganga has more chance playing as a RB and I think he played more in this positions for us than as a centerback
I think he will be secondary RB. We need to keep him happy and he won't start often at CB. He wouldn't sign a new contract without being sure he would get plenty minutes and with Mourinho really liking Dier it looks like there will be more room at RB or LB. He might play at CB in Europa and cups (plus injuries).Tanganga has more chance playing as a RB and I think he played more in this positions for us than as a centerback
Well lets hope Cirkin and Sessegnon are good enough because if Davies picks up a long term injury we will be up shits creek.We have Cirkin and Sessegnon to work with, unless we are going to sell them I think going for a LB is not really a priority.
Nah he's all guesswork and mostly passing off other people's info as his ownThat’s not correct about Matt Law, who’s shown before that he has good contacts within the club (including pre Poch dismissal).
No paywall on guardian- did you mean Times?Can someone post the Matt Law guardian article about Celik? Paywall ?.
