So with no Trusty, understandably, and no seemingly no McNally, annoyingly, who would people like to see us (REASONABLY) target to sign at centre back? |  |

Worth mentioning that McGuiness is gone also.
It looks like Craig Cathcart is the most likely signing now. [Post edited 31 Jul 2023 23:44]

Cresswell who had a good loan spell with Millwall last season. I guess there is a chnace Leeds see him being in and around the first team since relegation though. | | | |

Wouldn't surprise me if we sign Alex Tuanzebe.
KM and Tuanzebe have a great deal of history, and KM had nothing but great things to say about him in his time working with him.
Either Tuanzebe or Cathcart. |  | | |

Tuanzebe's had a tough run of injuries last two seasons. |  |

Tbf, I'm not overly stressed about us defensively... The fact that we're allegedly targeting the likes of Trusty, in order to " improve" on what we've already got. Says a lot about how strong we are already.
The fact that we haven't just gone out and added any old CB, says a lot about how strong we are, already.
Best defence in L1 last season. Most clean sheets and club record clean sheets.. Sure, standard will be higher this season, but it's not The Champions League.
Someone like Cathcart, imo, smacks of another Keogh signing. Might add a lot in terms of experience, but Im not so sure he'd add much to our defence in terms of our playing style.
I'd much rather we tried to bring Baggot into the fray, and accelerated his development. Than sign someone who doesn't upgrade the standard we have already.
Why is Cathcart still floating about as a free agent? |  | | |

Much of our defensive quality last season was down to our control of the game and the ball. We pretty much dominated territory against every team, such that our defence rarely faced an onslaught.
We'll certainly face more spells this season with our backs against the wall where we really need to weather a storm and come out the other side unscathed. This is will be a big test for the back 4. | | | |

Not sure that logic stacks up. The reason we've targeted the likes of Trusty/McNally is because we want a starter rather than a back up option, i.e we think Burgess is possibly not at the required level for where we want to be. | | | |

Fare point.. I'm not so pessimistic though... And as far as " onslaughts" go. Burgess is probably our bravest player who gets his head on everything.
Found wanting a few times, with inexperience in front of him, allowing players to run through at him. Didn't put a foot wrong once Luongo came in and sorted that. | | | |
