Will be good to promote ccv or ball or both into first team squad this season as 4th choice CB. I just hope they get some game time in cups and games we are smashing

Simmers time is coming as was unlucky to be displaced. At 23 this guy has already proved to be a great transfer, just needs more games under his belt. Lokoking at the current transfer fees he is worth double th transfer fee we paid. Let's keep finding these transfer bargains or develop the youngsters. It's the best way forward rather than £30 million + for Carlos My Agent Thinks I Am Great and Needs a Fee.....by the way here is the video of his talents prepared by a biased marketing company!

We have one good back up in Wimmer but Vertonghen won't be fit for the first few games so we don't have much cover. Carter-Vickers may eventually be a good defender but he's not ready yet. Really hope Toby doesn't pick up an injury or we'll be in trouble.

Took me ages to work out who Simmer was, was Googling and everything

Don't need one for once. Wimmer, Dier or Wanyama can all do it.

you forget Dier is a natural center back, that's where he will play as time goes on

 

[Japhet]

Don't think we need anyone. As has already been said we have very good backup with Wimmer, Dier/Wanyama and also 2CV, Ball, Ben Davies are all capable.

Also have Davies who has played at CB a few times

 

[Sir Henry]

No-one apart from Wimmer should ever play CB. Unless we have 2 CB's out and none of our youngsters are ready and only in an emergency should we ever stick a round peg in a square hole, im fucking sick of that shite.

And who plays in their place?

And who plays in their place?

I doubt Dier and Wanyama will both play together. Add in Wimmer so no one.

 

[worcestersauce]

So rotating Dier and Wanyama is not important then? I thought that was the reason for buying Wanyama what with CL and all

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Unless all of Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Wimmer are out we have enough to give everyone game time. We don't need any more.

Poch has already stated that Verts is training well and could be ready to face Everton on the opening day

Stop fussing. We still have Fazio.
