Half the league will want two/three more and there's a few like us who need to shift deadwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy old git Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 I would rather sign Cahill for a year or so as cover on a freebie than pay between £40 - 60m for the other players ( Ake & Tarkowski ) we have been linked with! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 He isn't good enough to get in our team and he's apparently getting a massive wedge to play for Palace this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 In theory I like the idea of Cahill as cover on a free - I'd rate him ahead of Wes at this stage. Problem is he's on 75K a week and that's a lot for a guy you're hoping doesn't end up a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 I still think Cahill has something to offer. Yes he is slow but look how Evans was our best CB last year by just using his experience and reading of the game. I also think this is a signing which means that Soyuncu isn't immediately sidelined again and has a genuine chance of starting a number of games for us and developing into our starting CB for years to come. He just needs time and with a player like Cahill coming in, I think we lower the risk of putting full faith in Soyuncu but also don't inhibit his development into hopefully a top CB with us. I think it would be a smart deal for us for 1 season and then perhaps we will have to spend big on a CB next summer or maybe Benkovic being a year on and settled here, is capable of stepping up too. Exciting times either way you look at things, as we have money to spend but also young players who are capable of making the step up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Not convinced Cahill is as good a solution as the OP makes out. My gut say's that he wouldn't make a good playing partner alongside Evans. And if we did sign him, you could go into next summer having to replace 3 centre halves (Cahill, Morgan, Evans) Evans may have a couple of seasons in him, but the idea plan is to use that to bed in a new dominant centre-half alongside him, not adding an ageing sticking plaster.

urban.spaceman Posted 5 August 2019 Author Share Posted 5 August 2019 100% agree with the sentiment even if it's not Cahill. Just an extra CB for one season would be handy and would prevent us overpaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 (edited) Don't see the benefit really, if Benkovic and Soyuncu end up being shit we may as well play Morgan. Alternative would be to look for a loan signing as a stop gap. Edited 5 August 2019 by RowlattsFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we’ve had some very decent slow defenders in recent time in Maguire, Morgan and Huth but McKenna is just a lump. He’s probably an average Championship defender at best. @henrik_62 probably knows a thing or too, can tell me if I’m being a bit harsh I hope we don't go for him, maybe Celtic go in for him and we get Ajer?
