We were linked to Daley Blind (son of the legendary Danny) from Ajax a month ago in ITK. He's got good reviews in Holland as an up and coming LB, but I can't see Ajax selling two of their best players to us in the same window unfortunately.
I could see Verts being pushed to LB, with Kaboul and Dawson as the central pairing throughout the season. As what happened last season with Caulker in the centre. Would be a shame, because I really, really want us to 'blood' Verts and Kaboul as our centre back partnership for years to come. Not too mention we would be seriously screwed with any injuries. I really hope we get an accomplished LB in. I hope Rose proves me wrong, but like many on here - I don't think he's top four standard, and I don't think he ever will be. Good little player though, not taking that away from him.
No chance.
I've gotta say, I find it staggering that with the amount of money we've had available to us this year we're content with Danny Rose as our first choice full back.
Young player who had very strong last season at PL, sometimes I wonder if people were more open to him if we had purchased him this summer.
Baines shits all over Coentrão tbh,
He doesnt fall asleep and make school boy errors
You don't think so? Happened last season. I wouldn't want to see it happen, but Verts was effective there - as Man Utd found out!

Was he very strong last season? Or just a breath of air in a mediocre, struggling Sunderland side?
You can see why he was taken to up there, tenacious, heart on his sleeve, gets forward okay.
I just don't think he is or ever will be a top 4 quality LB.
Sorry.

What's with the left back slating? He was the best player for Sunderland last season. Walker is as suspect as rose but gets away with it. We need ADE gone and a new striker before a left back.
That's why he's still at Everton i guess...................
