Yep, already wearing my sackcloth and looking for some ashes.callum doyle??
Agree. Given Stones is (sadly) not a factor anymore + we seem to sign CBs and teach them to play FB (pretty successfully at that), +2 young CBs makes good sense. And great if Doyle is one of themWe need more than one defender. Doyle comes back into the squad next year. JSP to go on loan and Harwood-Bellis isn't coming back.

same highlights vid Dias had near enough. (same complaints too)Clearly loves a tackle, which makes me wonder why he's on City's radar. Pep prefers players to stay on their feet.
I'm not complaining. I like good tackles, but I only see that element of his game in the vids and Pep has preferred positioning and ball playing abilities in his defenders.same highlights vid Dias had near enough. (same complaints too)

No, he'll be the one implementing the strategy. I doubt the club will be changing the way they've successfully operated since the takeover just because the current DoF is retiring.Given his role, he will be the one setting the strategy given he is the man at the top now, im not seeing whats so hard to understand? Its the first window since he has been appointed, he hasnt officially started but would be very naive to think he doesnt have influence behind the scenes. My initial point being that its potentially the first transfer since he has been announced and if whats being quoted is true it is similar to the kind of deals he did at Sporting. Maybe thats why we hired him who knows but I personally think we need to adopt the old strategy we had of buying ready made players for the here and now(like we did in 2017) given our current predicament.
That was my initial point that seems to have been missed by alot of people.

I think we underrate our own academy players. Who probably will end up being better and save us a fortune.I will openly admit i had never heard of this player before the last week or so and have seen nothing but a few youtube highlights since.
Do people think he is a better defender and has a higher ceiling than Callum Doyle, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, or even Harwood-Bellis?
The difficulty is most posters on here have never seen or heard of this defender, including me, so who really knows how good he is.

Hes only had half a season of top flight football. So no one had heard of him before this season.I will openly admit i had never heard of this player before the last week or so and have seen nothing but a few youtube highlights since.

But his numbers from that short period projects towards being a top defender. Could be an unbelievable purple patch... Only time will tell.

His numbers are very good on the ball. I think he is ranked 84tg amongst all players in the top 5 leagues in forward passes. One of only 2 CBs in the top 84.I'm not complaining. I like good tackles, but I only see that element of his game in the vids and Pep has preferred positioning and ball playing abilities in his defenders.
