after today and dortmund im a little more concerned about right back than I was but I don't think that'll be looked at this window. Tbh Varane's passing isn't *that* good either, especially forwards and under pressure, I think if maguire was already gone we'd have signed someone, I still have the tiniest hope that we do get a few outs and can go get a todibo or something, kmj would've been great...

On the more optimistic side, I'm a little higher on lindelof than you I think he'd start for a good number of prem sides (obviously longer term though it isn't what we want if we're to get back to challenging at the top end) and so if he's your third choice I think you're looking good, and shaw can play LCB well too  (although we're then thin at lb) 

It's a web not a series of pegs and holes

Oh yeah, I'm not particularly down on Lindelof either - I'm just describing him as a squad player in relation to where we'd want to be. He'll be fine for a lot of ours games, but if you're thinking about Varane or Martinez being injured then you'd want someone with more quality stepping in if we're playing a stronger team during that spell.

I think generally we're light in terms of quality/strength in depth in other areas if we're thinking about the longer-term as well, but I think you need to build a strong spine first before addressing the other areas.

We have moved to discord (thought I'd put this in a second place in case anyone was missing it)
