CanadaSaint Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Quite clearly, we are woefully short at RB. Which is a key component in our current set up Agreed on both counts. We saw last night what can happen if we don't have solid flank options. We will hopefully soon see Bertrand back, addressing that issue on the left side. But letting Cedric go, for all his faults, and just on loan, was a major clanger if they didn't have a replacement planned in advance. It's all the worse for the fact that Cedric could play both sides. Either we still have a Reed-esque "all rumour and no reality" scenario, or we really don't have the funds right now. Either way it's troubling.
Batman Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 According to UEFA report, Tottenham wage bill is €148m. So you could double the wages of every single Tottenham player, they could sign seven new players on £100,000 a week, and they would *still* have a lower wage bill than Manchester City.
SFC Forever Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 If there is one thing that really annoys me it is the regular negative posts from a certain few on here regarding our club. The general consensus appears to be of approval with how RH is doing. In which case perhaps we can allow him to decide the way forward for our team.

Appy Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Judging by Bertrand’s Instagram story the rumours about him were nonsense.
saintmatt Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 It's amazing how good players become when they lose their place in the team/leave. Cedric's improvement has been particularly breathtaking.

The bloke would have joined knowing the likely transfer position, and won't hang around if the board tuck him up. Sad reality is that the noisy minority on here think know more than the manager they claim to have faith in.
pimpin4rizeal Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 It's amazing how good players become when they lose their place in the team/leave. Cedric's improvement has been particularly breathtaking. its probably more that he was our only Real experienced right back before ralph started playing Valery and now we are relying fully on inexperienced kids in that position its a bit like loaning out ings gabbi Austin and long and relying on obafemi and barnes up front
DT Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Which ones are they then... Administrative receivers?
Jonnyboy Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Judging by Bertrand’s Instagram story the rumours about him were nonsense. What, that he's leaving, or staying?
Appy Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 What, that he's leaving, or staying? Rumours about him leaving were nonsense.
CB Fry Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 It's amazing how good players become when they lose their place in the team/leave. Cedric's improvement has been particularly breathtaking.Not really. He's still better than all the right backs at the club now. That's all people are saying. You could also make a similar claim about Valery who is being hyped to the rafters far more than people saying Cedric is "amazing".
macca155 Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Cedric was a real problem at RB. Constantly targetted and exposed by opposition managers. He was just physically too short and too easily pushed off the ball. I'm pleased for him that he has a new challenge at Inter but for me Valery is an improvement. Stephens can play RB if necessary as can Targett. It's all good nothing to see.RB position can be sorted in the summer. What we do need is another CB and or striker. Not vital but it would be useful.

verlaine1979 Posted 31 January, 2019 Posted 31 January, 2019 Eh, there's zero chance that RH would've refused the chance to add some pace to the squad, so let's not pretend that this is a transfer window tactical masterclass from the club. Our current preferred formation requires a significant attacking contribution from our fullbacks, but our first choice right back is currently too nervy to cross the ball. Whether the thinning of the squad costs us is only going to be down to luck.

How can anyone be confident he is better backup than Cedric, a seasoned international? Crazy to leave ourselves so exposed, as even Valery can't be described as being a solid regular yet.

Madness Well if you were at the game last night, you might have seen that things seemed to be OK. Of course playing 3-5-2 means that RB is more a RWB, which if our preferred formation, things look to be OK. As has been mentioned, Lemina can also play there, as well as JWP. Going to a back 4 is a little trickier. But we get it. Whinge whinge ****ing whinge.
