Jarrad Branthwaite

[bell_mcfc]

If we were planning to buy Branthwaite, or any other centre-back, why buy Ries and Khusanov?

Another reason I dont think we are

and Bah. It doesn't make sense really.

Dont see the need for this at all and dont think hes that great.

neither are LCB? at a guess.

…and Bah

Doesn't Bah have all the hallmarks of a buy and sell for profit signing?

 

[Gorbachev]

Reis is definitely more of a work in progress over Khusanov and would not be surprised to see him loaned to Girona in January for 18 months when we can loan them players again.

Khusanov for me once he can communicate on the pitch with the other players looks ready to challenge Dias for me.

 

[foggy1974]

I get his injured, but I’d rather keep stones. World class on his day, provides leadership and he’s a fan favourite.

I don’t get why so many so fans want him sold. Even if he plays say 15-20 games a season - he’s so important to us

It's only down to his injury record that fans reluctantly want to see him replaced. 15 to 20 games a season is no where near enough games especially when Ake has had a similar injury record this season

 

[WallyA]

Please god no!

Cannot pass.

And we are omega stacked at CB with Khus in the waiting, and potential of Reis and Bah.

So unnecessary.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Doesn't Bah have all the hallmarks of a buy and sell for profit signing?

Except that he has genuinly shown signs of being a potential world-class centre-back with a physical edge very few can match

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Prefer Slotterbeckp or Hincapié as a left footer, but i get it tbh

Communicate? When he came over here he could only speak caveman language, I doubt much has changed.

 

[Tevez City]

Big yes from me, but not at the expense of Ait Nouri please

 

[Sir peace frog]

cant see john and nathan being sold,maybe one of them, get john right and he is the best CB for our system we can get, hes a rolls royce of a player(if he can stay fit) same with nathan excellent player, wouldn't want to see either of them leaving next season, the younger lads could learn a heck of a lot off the pair of them.

Evolution not revolution

 

[RayCTID]

Don't need another Centre back even if we are to lose either Ake, Akanji or Stones in the summer.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Gvardiol has a lot of attributes that are fare superior to Boulders. He is almsot at Stones peak level and will get there in the next few years.

Don’t agree. Stones in the treble season was genuine world class. I don’t think Gvardiol has shown that consistency yet or been at that level.

I also think your seriously underrating how good stones is

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

If we were planning to buy Branthwaite, or any other centre-back, why buy Ries and Khusanov?

Maybe they were panic signings that we didn’t really need?

Wouldn't surprise me if they go to Girona on loan khusanov & reis

 

[Dax777]

Khusanov i highly doubt.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Potentially. If everyone’s fit and we buy new centre backs I can’t see how they’re getting enough game time, which is mad considering how much we spent on them.
