Just one more Centre Back... 12:08 - Aug 9 with 989 views | pointofblue | This is already the most exciting transfer window in years but if we can get one more centre back over the line as a permanent signing then it will the cherry on the cake. Not sure if we have enough funds to try and do this - though if we're still chasing Windass we clearly do - but another body at the back is needed. Hopefully we'll be able to keep Knudsen and Garner too; I can understand us chasing Windass if the latter leaves. | |

If anything and if it were possible i'd like to see us hang on to Jonas and Garner, move some people on - Spence, Adeyemi, Rowe - on a perm basis and get one or two of the young ones out on loan. | |

Just one more Centre Back... on 12:16 - Aug 9 with 926 views | theinbetweener | Agreed, we do need another CB. If Chambers gets injured and is out for 2-3 months we are left with only 2 natural CB's, one of which an academy graduate who's made only one Championship start (correct me if I'm wrong), and another who's untried/untested in the league. Important that we bring in another body for this position IMO. [Post edited 9 Aug 2018 12:18]

I'd say we definitely need one. You have 2 senior CB's listed there, plus a youngster (who has done very well), then you name a couple of FB's who can 'cover'. Not ideal. | | | |

It's not ideal no but Nsiala has clearly been brought in to be first choice, Chambers already is, and I am not sure we could or should be carrying another experienced CB who is a reserve. | |

Bear in mind in 2016/2017 we had Berra, Chambers, Smith and Webster all vying for places - and if we lose Knudsen we'd have lost someone who can do a job in that position if needed, as I think I'm right in saying John, for example, is a left back only. We've covered ourselves in every position on the pitch thanks to this window but we're still light in one position. | |

You are forgetting that Trev can play at CB too | |

IIRC he looked all at sea at centre back for England U19s over the summer; his preferred position is holding midfielder. | |
