So has anyone here seen this fella play much? Is he fast, because we're lacking in pace at the back?

I can't quite believe we're breaking our transfer record for a centre back from the Championship.

Be lovely if he had a yard of pace wouldn’t it

To be honest, I'd say essential rather than lovely. When we try to push forward, we're very susceptible to the counter. We want to push forward more, so unless we get some pace at the back, we're going to leak goals.

Of course I could be completely wrong, which wouldn't be a complete shock with my footballing pedigree.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this. If Dunk and Duffy are still with us this time next week I'll be excited. The last time we broke our club transfer record for a championship centre half we were top two all season...

Until next week I'm going to be nervous.

According to FIFA index (I've no idea how good that is):
Shane Duffy: Acceleration – 42. Sprint speed 47.
Lewis Dunk: Acceleration – 38. Sprint speed 50.
Adam Webster: Acceleration – 67. Sprint speed 69.

Who knows, he may make a seamless step up and cost half of what we (may) get for Dunk. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Have we been fighting off competition for Webster? This £20-25m valuation seems very odd for a Championship defender most people have barely seen, unless there has been a bidding war..

No. Bloom doesn't get involved in them sort of things. he won't chuck money about.

At that price I'd bloody well hope he does make a seamless step up. That doesn't mean he'll be as good as Dunk though, I'm not expecting that.

Good stat that.

Didn’t realise that Duffy has a better 0-60 than Dunk!

Webster blows them both away though.

Owen is saying around 18. Mings was 20. It's the going rate.
I'd think that Mings was well overpriced rather than the going rate.

Knocky was £10m. Was Webster the Championship player of the season?
