For all the good we have done pre season if we don't sign a first choice centre back it will be criminal.
LvG has an obsession with left footers playing LCB, im £#%&!ed if I know what footed the guys we are linked with are atm I have no preference over Rojo or Blind in that position. |

That's a good backline imo. Questions over distribution from the back but it would be nice to have a settled defence who are able to work in tandem, for once. Surprised we're not back in for Laporte. But there is no point in replacing inexperience with inexperience. Big season for Smalling |

having a leftie there naturally widens the pitch making it more difficult to close down - in particular a right footer will often be controlling a sideways pass towards an attacker on a shuttle run.
it naturally changes the angles of passes to and from there, too. never really thought about it before but he's right isn't he, especially the faster the game gets when you're trying to keep the ball... |

It could work, he's very disciplined and intelligent, and his distribution from the back would be miles better than anything Smalling or Jones could produce. However, he is not the quickest, either directly or turning, and we would have to be prepared for some inevitable mistakes while he learns the nuances of a new position. As we know, that can cost important points.

i do like blind as a utility player but left back is undoubtedly his best position. he's not physically strong enough as a cb. ironically, it's probably against the lesser teams that he'll struggle, the ones with pacy battering ram forwards. less worried about him against teams that try to play a passing game against us as he reads the game exceptionally well. hopefully rojo will manage to top the 20 appearances he made for us last season. or even better still, we sign an experienced worldy central defender |

Is Blind a top quality cb now? No. Could he become one in fairly short time? Absolutely. The others have had their chances, and they are shit. If we can't get the players we want from outside, what's the alternative? We can't be spending 25m on someone we don't really want. Once you get down to 3rd and 4th choices you really should be contemplating other solutions. |
