The Right Back Thread

Yeah I'm not sure where the debate is - Chelsea poach players at youth level from all corners and pay more than a premium to do so

I’m talking about english youngsters unless you mean they poach english youngsters from all corners of england?

Just at right back alone in the last couple of years they have brought through lamptey, james and livramento.

That is an astonishing hit rate.

So why can't we do the same? Even of you pay a premium, it would still work out to be cost effective...

Cheatski have got Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah too.
It can't be THAT hard to find a good right back, even the England team has a plethora to choose from.

We can find them, we just can't hang on to them.

If he’s replaced KWP can we just buy him back?I never wanted him going as part of the Hojberg deal in the first place….

He’s at his level at soton tbh.

The question is (and this is not limited to right back) is why are chelsea and palace between them bringing through 4 potentially world class right backs in 18 months and we bring through soton level players?

Lusala might be good if we give him a loan.

Does mean that one of Doherty or Aurier is a waste of wages. The other can be cover.

Or sell both and sign 1 other

Rename this the right wing back thread?

Seen credible sources that we'll be after a new right wing back, can't see credible sources to specific players, so probably makes sense with a thread for the general conversation.

Lamptey, Aarons, Livramento, Trippier, Jesus Corona (Porto) have all been mentioned on here. Anyone else?

 

[Legohamster]

Ive not seen much of Norwich this season. Has Aarons kicked on at all?

Not according to our fans

I really wasn’t Maehle from Atalanta
Can sent back Gollini whilst we’re at it

Sounds like golini wil be going back and we'll replace with an english keeper. Which makes sense. Lloris is the question mark though.

Lloris will sign a new deal for next year, with Johnstone or Henderson alongside him IMO

Fabrizio Romano reporting Trippier to Saudi Sportswashing Machine as a done deal.

Think he would have been alright for us, makes me somewhat positive that we have a good plan for something better in place.

Honestly prefer Royal. More athletic, better defensively, faster and with a lot more to come. Only 22 in his first season.

I think he would have been a good stop gap signing at least

Seems the price (if they don't go down is excessive). More than we sold him for.

£12m
We sold him for £20m
