Do You think Wes Morgan would have gotten to the levels he did with Robert Huth by his side? Or would he have been just as good with Liam Moore by his side? Nothing to do with experience, he hasnt got the legs to deal with counter attacks Edited 4 August 2021 by Danny280995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGFox Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Realistically at this late stage Cahill would be a good stop gap til Evans is back. Sounds like maybe Xmas time from BBC RL. Medium term Tarkowski would be good to fill Evans' role. Wes and Cags need an experienced head around them whether in a two to three. Amartey/Benkovic are 4th choice. Worrying for the start of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 (edited) Surely asked already here but how long is Evans out for? Edit: @RGFox above me explained. Edited 4 August 2021 by Blue ROI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 If Little Wes is out for the majority of the season or all of the season, then we need two CB’s. Two players each position is always the requirement, having Amartey, Benkovic & Nelson as back up won’t be good enough. Cahill & Kabak make the most sense, one a free, the other dirt cheap. If we are to throw money at a CB though, then you fully expect it to be Tarkowski or Vestergaard, although I’d absolutely love to see us snatch Tomiyasu from the grasps of Spurs, available for similar price as those two, can play anywhere across the back four 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Get Kabak and Tarkowski in is what we should do and that would probably cost around £35m meaning we probably won't have any money for a rw unless we sell Maddison. Alternatively get Cahill and Kabak and maybe have some money left for a winger without selling Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis1 Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Of course it has to do with experience. All of his positives for a year would certainly make up for the flaw of being weak in a counter attack. The guy is a premier league winner, Champions league winner and Europa league winner I believe. How much could our team value that. Oh, and did I mention it would only cost us his wage? It's a no brainer and I for one wouldn't be worried to see a back 4 of Betrand, Cahill, Soyunchu and Castange/Perriera against Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 I'd get tarkowski in tbh. He seems like the Evans successor to me. Whether they will is another question but I reckon Burnley would sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 4 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 4 August 2021 Are there any centre halves out there that also play right wing? They can fill in at the back until Xmas and then hit 10 goals and 10 assists for the 2nd half of the season? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is his crosses are like row z clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 There’s every chance clubs will be raising their prices for us as they’ll know how desperate we are. Loan would be our best option for value for money OR someone who’s in the last year of their contract. I keep coming back to Tarkowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunge Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Tarkowski for me too. It looks like we’ll need a replacement for Evans long term and I reckon we’d regret Kabak in 12 months time, on a contract with massive wages and probably underwhelming on the pitch. I assume the Cahill suggestions are a joke, the guy practically qualifies for a zimmerframe. Would rather see Amartey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
