TheGiantOwl Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I know I'm a bit late but I can't get over only having lees and loovens at centre back. I can't see Hutchinson playing there. In my opinion I think we need at least 2 more. Sorry if that sounded negative, not my intention just wanted to get it off my chest. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Think Carlos would have learned his lesson we will either buy a quality centre back or a quality defensive midfielder and put Hutchinson there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a major part of our defensive strategy was the defensive work the attacking players were asked to do, sometimes it seemed, at the expense of their day job. Next season, I think we'd all like to see the shackles on our creative players/strikers, released a bit. Yes, it's still important that we defend from the front, but I'd like to see a bit more responsibility passed on to those who's primary job is to defend. For me, this warrants us signing a dominant centre back, and at least one combative midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We will bring in one and it may cost us a bit. Loovens will then move to the bench and Hutch will play there when needed. One is enough as long as we get a defensive midfielder in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 100% need 2 central defenders. Hanley has been a target of Carlos' before so id be shocked if he was too not make a move! He likes to keep an eye on players till he gets them. Maybe Bartley at Swansea? Now Monk has gone from Leeds and I highly doubt he will stay at Swansea not they've stayed up.

UTO Yet we have one of the best defences in the league and a good strike force too. What we need is someone to control midfield with vision and anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
