Michael Jacobs 18:28 - Aug 7 with 1184 views | ITFC_96 | Do we actually need him or is he still meant to be coming? We should be saving those squad spots for defenders and defensive midfielders now. Makes absolutely no sense if he is still to come in... we need a defensive midfielder and 2 defenders as a minimum. |  | | |  |

Absolutely not at the expense of our other positions. Our defensive depth is terrible. I though Cook said we had too many players last season and we're just adding more to the attacking side and leaving the defensive side completely bare which is going to be exposed heavily if any injuries start coming in. |  | |  |

I wouldn't have thought it would be at the expense of a centre back. I assume Jacobs is coming in so we can send Dobra out on loan. |  |

Getting Jacobs won't stop us sorting out the defensive areas though. We have 4 less attacking players than last season and that's including Jacobs etc. |  |

Pigott, Barry, Fraser, Norwood, Dobra, Burns, El Mizouni, Bonne, Chaplin, Aluko, Jacobs. 11 is too many players for only 4 positions, and they're all going to expect some game time. Don't bring out the loan stuff either, Dobra was our best player in pre-season and El Mizouni didn't get given much of a chance at Cambridge last season either. |  | |  |

Maybe we should be signing them instead of overloading our attacking options then? No good signing them after we've drawn or lost a bunch of games because we've conceded a load of goals... |  | |  |

We've got cup games, league games, injuries and suspensions to come It's a long season I'd rather have that many players than losing 2/3 and having to bring in a sears or a judge That's the difference for where we are now. |  |

Do you really think Ashton is prioritising a back up winger over players we have greater need for? Do you know anything about football? |  |

If they had been prioritising them then we wouldn't be sitting here with Nsiala as a first choice CB with Donacien (who isn't even a CB) covering for him... Ridiculous comment. |  | |  |

You're being really stupid. We want the right targets. The Coulson deal has been done for weeks. It's not a case of clicking your fingers and getting signings done. Have you seen deadline day? I guess every club just didn't prioritise eh? |  |

Coulson is not a purely defensive signing... he's essentially another winger who happens to play a bit further back. We need defensive stability before we are run ragged by players passing it straight through us. We were exposed throughout today. |  | |  |

Coulsen is a fullback. Dont need to try and make it something it's not. Hes a fullback. |  |
