Chris_Sharman Question for you @JackRaven
Do you still think we need a ball playing CB or have the players this season performed well enough for that no to be a priority?
The priority for me is a left footed CB, however of the CBs we have, only Kyle is a genuine ball playing CB. That is said with due respect to the huge improvement from Ryan Bennett, Ben cabango and the stirling work Ryan Manning has done.
I can see Ryan Manning playing more often in the left WB role. His ability to be a danger on the left flank could either benefit from teams doubling up on Laird, or force defenders out left giving Laird more space.
So if Kyle got injured we would be very exposed imo without another genuine ball playing CB.
For that reason a left footed CB, but he needs to be able to be cover for Kyle as a ball playing CB just in case.
I know Haydon has been mentioned but for me in our price range I would go for someone like Brendan Galloway of Plymouth. Left footed, 6ft 2 inches, strong on one to one situations and has good passing stats.
