Lenglet and Dier as back ups feels quite square one

posted on 7/7/23

One deal dragging past this weekend would be frustrating - I want the guy in training on Monday, we are terrible defensively.

I would put good money on it being VDV now, he is younger, cheaper and his pace means he will cope better whilst settling in.

I think the club is saving money for another midfield powerhouse - which I do t really understand, but we seem to making those noises

VdV can play LB or LCB

Tapsoba can play RCB, LCB

seems to make too much sense and the £80 odd mill it might cost could turn out to be a bargain and transformative.

just signing one of them and a cheap second rate player just for back up is so small time

Is money an issue for us now we've spent a reasonable amount on these first signings?

We definitely need a new CB or 2. The only comfort I get is that having a new manager who wants a much different style compared to previous managers may be able to polish turds better than they could.

It has all the hallmarks of Levy not wanting to pay the asking prices and trying to negotiate lower fees, expect this to drag on as the selling clubs dig their heels in.

We tied up Vicario quickly because he was relatively cheap and Maddison because Leicester caved in due to being skint.

Levy can`t get his way so quickly with every club.

The same message from Fab everyday this week Z z z.

I do wonder if we are waiting to sell PEH to fund deals for both players rather than just buying one?

Maybe Ange wants to give GLC or Ndombele(dare I say) a chance to replace him?

Maddison, Bentancur, Skipp, Bissouma, Sarr, GLC.

It could work..

Going on tour with Sanchez and Dier as our CB’s is just criminal for me.

i was thinking this with Devine too if hes not loaned to be given some minutes would be nice

CB is so critical but can see us struggling to rid of the ones who have been here too long and not gonna kick us on, and also only going for one big CB signing

Sanchez should be at home looking for a new club for everyones sake.

We have to come to peace with Dier being 4th choice CB at best it seems, guy is stubborn towards staying and if he works hard and improves when he plays fair play but if hes starting a large chunk of games next season we have failed badly for sure

Yeah Devine is an interesting one. I would like to see him involved but if was loaned out, that would probably better for him.

BBC has a good article about one of the CB's we are linked with:-

Ange likes flexibility and Dier can play DM too.

And give Ange a chance to take a look first hand at what he's got first ffs.

Frustrating especially as them down the road just spent 200m on 3 players. At least give Ange 2 1 full week with new CBs before the tour. The players also need to sort housing and families before the tour also.

We then wonder when new players don't hit the ground running

*1 full week

Yep, some would still defend Levy on this though.

I said in my article yesterday, CB should have been the very first signing of the summer. Once again we seem to be haggling over price rather than spending the period when the transfer window is closed identifying a list of targets, establishing max prices we will go to and then executing deals quite quickly in the TW.

Levy’s biggest weaknesses - dragging transfers out, remunerating managers in a way that means they play weakened sides in the cups, no faaaaacking strategy.

The signs aren’t good, a Levy never changes it’s spots it would seem.

Arsenal have spent close to a billion last six seasons for one top four finish. How to completely waste money.

Levy has the right blemishes that his reputation proceeds him. No one wants to move to spurs and be a success, only to find leaving is impossible because of let's demands, when the player wants to go and actually win trophies.

Levy waits and waits til there isn't competition for a signing. I can't even remember the last time spurs went toe to toe with another club for a singing 🤔
