saintwbu Posted 15 August, 2021 Share Posted 15 August, 2021 Safe to say we won’t be getting Tanganga from Spurs, another great performance today keeping Grealish quiet. With the ability to have 9 players on the bench now, I can see the benefit of bringing in Cahill alongside whoever we buy, to be on the bench when needed to bring a calm head to the pitch. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a CB though? All his good games for Spurs have been at RB. I know he played CB as a youth, but whenever he's had a go there in men's football he's looked out of his depth.

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 15 August, 2021 Share Posted 15 August, 2021 Wonder if Joe Rodon from Spurs is available? Don't think he was in the squad for their game today unless he was injured?

He had the touch, strength and looked a real threat on the turn. On 08/07/2021 at 15:08, Saint Garrett said: Funny, I thought he was absolutely dross in this tournament. Couldn't get in Middlesbrough side, and went to Spain. Was a panic signing by Barcelona, and they'll be trying to rid of him this summer I'd think. On 08/07/2021 at 17:20, VectisSaint said: That would be the same Martin Braithwaite that struggled to displace Carillo when he was at Leganes and made Barca a bit of a laughing stock when they signed him as an emergency transfer because he was considered so poor. Maybe there is an argument that turds can indeed be polished. On 09/07/2021 at 12:31, Saint86 said: Was hoping for some good transfer news and logged in to fans eyeing up Braithwaite - genuinely gave me cold sweats and i started looking for the relevant transfer link thinking someone please save us!!!!

Saint_clark Posted 15 August, 2021 Share Posted 15 August, 2021 While I have been banging on about an experienced centreback for a while now, Cahill isn't that player. We'd have to play a much deeper defensive line and not ask him to press at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 15 August, 2021 Share Posted 15 August, 2021 9 hours ago, S-Clarke said: Caleta-Carr ticks a lot of boxes. Saw a link to him earlier, but can't remember where. Experience in a top league, experience at International level, a very tall, commanding, powerful and ball playing centre back. Not particularly slow. 24 years old, 1 year left on his contract. Available for around £15m. Experience of the 'RB' programme from Salzburg. He'd be an upgrade on Vestergaard in every way. If we've not at least tried then we're failing. Including the 'probably sees himself as too good for us', and 'unlikely to sign' boxes. Trouble is that unless he (or others of his standard) signs this week we'll probably become less attractive after a drubbing v Man Utd when its clear what sort of season he'll be signing up to.

Nolan Posted 16 August, 2021 Share Posted 16 August, 2021 from Jan 7 2015 to Jun 22 2017 Richard Kitzbichler was assistant at Red Bull Salzburg and Caleta Car was a CB there. Thats Kitzbichler being a coach on the bench for 50 games Caleta Car participated in. You would hope there is some chance of us getting him in.

I thought Nuno tended to play wingbacks a lot though and don't they also still Aurier and Doherty? But yeh he was very solid yesterday but not sure how much he offers going forward as a full back if they were playing lesser teams, he seemed to be in the team to do a very specific defensive job yesterday which he did well. Agree on Romero but we just seem to be ignoring the goalkeeper situation. I'd presume maybe not enough room in the wage budget? 51 minutes ago, East Kent Saint said: Braithwaite scored 2 for Barca yesterday ! although they say he is up for sale Such a funny situation that, a panic buy that they somehow bought outside a transfer window and now because they have massively screwed up he's pretty much their only available striker. The guy must be living the dream though, he's never scored more than 14 in a season, barely has a 1 in 4 record in his career and he's somehow ended up playing for Barcelona.
