Given captaincy back, game over folks

I went to Ipswich v brentford yesterday and paid a bit more attention to him given the link.

 

Seems a solid enough CB at this level but is prone to dwelling on the ball too much, got caught in possession 3 times which could have cost brentford. Does organize the back 4 well but I'd say he's an equal not an improvement on what we have.

 

As an aside - brentford have apparently been playing well without the results and that was evident yesterday. They are gonna struggle if they can't put teams away like Ipswich who were playing with 4 full backs across the back 4.

 

If ever we do look for a replacement right back - I'd take iorfa from Ipswich - looks very decent.

On loan from Wolves. New gaffer didn't fancy him much

They only just signed Iorfa from Wolves this summer, wish we would have got him, young pacey can play centre back too!

You're not wrong. They'll pay a fortune for forwards, but not defenders. The only conclusion is that the wages are related to the transfer fee, so a big fee means wages which break the defensive wage structure. Lees is on around £25 000 a week, and you'd think he'd be the highest-paid in the defence. A £4 - £5 million defender would be on more than Lees, that's definite.

How do you know how much Lees is earning ?

Wolves must have a hell of a right back if he can't get a game.
