Great news!

Now to find him a loan move for next season.

 

[b.w.2.]

Anyway, welcome Adam. From what I’ve seen and read, an exciting addition to our team...

Thank **** you aren't a decision maker.

To be fair , I’d take 40m for dunk as well

Seen a few mazy runs from Webster on YouTube . Maybe he could be the wing back ?

 

[Seaber]

Congratulations Adam!

Right now we could put out two different back fives, except for the RWB slot in which we only have Montoya fit.

X - Balogan - Burn - Bernardo - Bong
Montoya - Duffy - Dunk - Webster - March

Baluta can also play in defence and although I'm not sure how close to the first team Cox or O'Hora are, we have really good strength in depth for our back five with some useful versatility in Bernardo, Webster, March, Baluta and Balogan having some good experience in other positions either in defence or further forward.

Biggest questions for me would be are they all staying, does Schelotto have a role when he returns and does Webster replaxe Burn against Watford. I like the look of three CBs, getting Webster/keeping Clarke was essential to have the depth for it to work though.

I mean if you play 3 CB:s you need five good central defenders, so you dont really have to sell anyone.

Really? And how would you use the money to replace him?

Considering we absolutely do not need to sell to buy, I'm curious as to how the money would be useful.

A common response is to "fund a superstar striker". The obvious (to anyone with some sense) problem there being that any striker worth more than 25-30M will command more wages than we are willing (but are perfectly able) to offer.

Also, 40M is not a representative amount for a nationally capped English centre back, especially considering what Maguire has just gone for. I don't even know why this is still being discussed, he's going nowhere anyway.

Amazing news, and a home grown local player to boot.

Just blows my mind what we have spent. Only feels like yesterday we had a buy a player fund.

I need to go and find a list showing our signings from Withdean to Wembley, its just incredible, the money we have spent now even on U23 players.

Reading that I can hear Mr Bloom saying:-

"We, we, what the fudge is all this we business?"

Webster can be the RWB according to Potter.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Welcome Mr. Webster!

The club have a good record of signing centre backs. I am really excited to see him in action next week.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I’d go back five

Webster - Duffy - Dunk - Burn - Bernardo

Although I’d now be tempted to cash in on dunk or Duffy , put Webster at CB and give Montoya a try at Potterball

Ooh no, I'm loving March as a wing back

This.

Maguire is not world class, yet went for £80m to £85m. On that basis Dunk and Tarkowski are £50m+ CB's. Not that we need to sell to acquire our remaining targets.

Anyway, well done to the club for getting a deal over the line, they obviously rate Webster very highly. Now onto ACM and striker.

And that’s the point....just listened to a chat on R5 mentioning the signing of Webster and then going on to the possibility of meaning it’s leading to Dunk out...but no understanding that it seems we will start the season with playing 3 CH’s ..leading really to needing 5 at the club ...or that this Webster has experience of playing in other positions...sigh

Englands 1st choice CB.

Englands 1st choice CB.

Agreed. But IMHO not world class (yet), he has weaknesses in his game.

3 Chris Hughton's?

 

[Seaber]

Webster can be the RWB according to Potter.

I know, but I think he said right back rather than wing back, but it might just be semantics.

Bernardo or March could move over to the right in an emergency I guess.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lol I did think that wen I abbreviated centre halves

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good signing.
However, would be hard to drop Burn on last nights form......

Good news
