LoyalRoyal22 HoneyRoastHoax LoyalRoyal22 This is the one position in the team(left back) where we literally had no options. So my point is we had to sign a left back, surely if the club have the financial power Anton has stated we could have signed a young decent left back for a good fee , especially as we been scouting Europe all season. This is just a short term move.
Oh yeah because signing an ageing Jason Roberts was awful for us wasn't it?
He's in the champ team of the year you fool.
Yeh and he will only benefit us for one season. I thought we were building for big things. Stop trying to convince yourselves you are totally happy with this signing. I am content but not happy.
So we should have a team of 22 year olds? See how that works out...
I wouldn't be surprised if we bring in a younger guy to be Bridge's understudy, and tbh there are few left backs out there who would be better to learn from.
International-class defender in a position we needed filling, who showed last season he's still got it, and has the qualities needed in an adventurous full back. His performances for Brighton got him into the TOTS, and to a man their fans are all gutted to lose him.
Not only does he do our promotion hopes the world of good, it's also a significant sign of intent, especially when you consider he walked away from the QPR negotiations and wouldn't have had a shortage of offers from elsewhere.
I am totally convinced that I am totally happy with this signing. Ta.
