Maybe Kasper was involved in getting Veste the gig but, again, the club would have respected Kasper's opinion. At worst, it was Kasper's bad and the club was naive. They'd not be the first employer to take someone on on the recommendation of an employee. Tbh, I think maybe the club panicked a little and perhaps rushed its own usual due diligence. They probably did panic. But me as a long term supporter would be hacked off if the club were bypassing core principles of recruitment and scouting over "references from mates" even if they come from long term legends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were even keen before he went to southampton. He could well have come in instead of bennett as well. He may not have been a top choice but for whatever reason he had always been on our lists as an option. Kasper may have been used as a character reference but nothing more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panic buy don’t be silly we looked at him for ages 🤔😉 He’s a snip at £80m he’s the new Harry Maguire solid at the back never makes a mistake and takes out everything that comes anywhere near the defence, also he scores loads of goals from set pieces as his height is well spottable from a set piece every free kick & corner takers target in it goes bang he scores what else would you need in a quality defensive gem of a find at such a low price ?? 😉🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandFox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Figured he would be here until at least Fofana's future is decided. For cover. So a little surprised by the murmur that Fulham have agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryDee8 Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Aren't we covered in CB area. We've got fofana and Evans and Soyuncu as cover? If need be ndidi and amartey as 4th backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandFox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Squads usually carry 10 defenders. Bertrand and Ricardo hurt. Without Vesty makes 7. We don't have a 2nd choice back 4 without bringing in Albrighton at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he’s 6th choice on probably like 50k p/W, joke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played in the premier league and represented a strong national team being an awful player. You need to have more about you, than only being able to play in one system. Unless you are exceptional and he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, likewise, the style, should be adaptable to get the best out of what's available, at times last season, we were desperate, alot of excuse made for our situations - people will say it wasn't excuses, it was just circumstances of which they'd be right, the reason I call them excuses is not once did we try and adapt to play different ways to help our situations, make the best and get the best out of what was available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR is stubborn, but it just makes you question why buy him in the first place. He was a very square peg in a round hole. He never fitted the brief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandFox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 I'm not saying he's not garbage. I'm saying it's easy to spite sell someone and that cover is more complicated than looking at simply who can play CB. It's who is now playing LB/RB, who is now cover at those positions, and if you really want to bring NDIDI back who his playing there as well.

Keeping deadwood that we don’t trust doesn’t really solve that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
