I'm excited about RB. Thats it
Kind of my feelings too. I actually wanted us to sign a right back and two centre backs as I think our defence has been so awful for a long time. I hve seen youtube pundits etc saying its now one of the best defences in Europe etc etc, get a grip.
Bissaka I have wanted ever since he broke through, genuine world class potential for me, absolutely superb signing and I thought people questioning the fee, though high are mad.
Maguire I think is a good defender, not a great one though, can see reasons the fee was so high but its not due to his footballig ability. Certainly thinks he improves us as lets face it, he is our best centre back..
Rather than an average defence to one of the best around, I think we have moved from an awful defence to a good one now. I disagree on replacing Shaw, improved last season and hopefully can kick on further fro that this season. I am not a big fan of Lindelof, think he being way over rated for being average amongst awfulness even though of coruse he improved and y concern is he will be the starting centre back with Maguire and not sure it will work. OUr best defences have all been about centre back partnerships and here is hoping I am wrong and they do gel.
WIth our improvement I am more confident of us finishing in the top four this season though . We should be better at defending corners/crosses and more fluid and quicker bringing the ball out from the back, two things we have been awful with for quite some time. I think we needed a minimum of 6 top signings and 2 more promising ones and many outs to actually challenge. A couple more signings and Lukaku out and we have at least done enough to be confident of top four and progress....if we make no more signings, I still only feel 55/45 towards that top four spot though
