Can Diop play left sided centre back? 11:17 - Jul 20 with 1066 viewsunstableblue

Surprise we’re going for a right sided player with OShea and Kipre in the building

Latest squad composition and 8 player NEED - 34 days to go by unstableblue 19 Jul 13:03
See below the list kicked around on a thread a month ago. Think not far off the need.

Two secured, with a primary keeper and understudy to Matusiwa seem closest links.

Still 8 players of quality in crucial positions needed, with 34 days to Sunderland and 43 days to end of window (only two games to be played before it closes).

So still some time, but need some new faces, shame that maybe another 3 or 4 are not heading to La Manga tomorrow, but plenty of friendly games to play.

How does the below look to you?

GK - XX, Walton, Van Oevelen (Palmer exit)
LB - Davis, XX
LCB - XX, Greaves (Baggot left)
RCB - OShea, Kipre
RB - XX, Furlong (Johnson and H. Clarke exit)
LCM - XX, Taylor (Humphreys exit)
RCM - Matusiwa, XX
LW - Philogene, Clarke, Mehmeti
#10 - XX, Nunez, Egeli (U21)
RW - Burns, McAteer
CF - XX, Emmerson, Hirst (Akpom exit)

Kipre mostly plays on the left but is back up fur both Greaves and O’Shea. I think the Diop signing is a clear signal that we intend to play a back three with wingbacks.

Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.

O'Shea plays right back for Ireland, just a thought.🤔

I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in Kipre sticking around. Not a GON player and didn't exactly look like a PL player last season.

I've said it numerous times, from a purely defensive standpoint, I think he's our best defender. Obviously, he doesn't offer what others do in terms of everything else. Also, he seems like our only centreback that looks comfortable while playing on the opposite side of the cb pairing + he's got best recovery pace, imo.

So you wouldn't buy an experienced PL Centre half because we have Kipre in the building?
