All we have for next year are VVD,the forever injured Gomez, a kid that had major knee surgery and another untested kid that was also injured much of last year. I’m pretty sure we’ll score enough but feel like we may not be tight enough at the back. Only a solid defense wins the PL!
I'm still convinced that our defensive fragilities weren't down to our actual defenders but rather the players infront of them not doing enough tackling and pressing. We need to defend as a team not as individuals. This kid is apparently very good at pressing and tracking back as well as attacking so that's definitely the kind of player we need. We're also thin in numbers up front so I expect more attacking players to arrive.
Having said that, since Konate has left, we need a new CB as well, maybe a RB too.
