[Albion] James Tavernier swoop?

[The Sock of Poskett]

May be rubbish of course, but do we need another right back?

[John Byrnes Mullet]

He looked good in Rangers opening game against Aberdeen.

 

[Bakero]

8 goals and 7 assists last year. That's impressive for a fullback even in the MTL.

My Nan would look good in the SPL and she’s been dead 12 years,do we really want to be looking in the two bob Scottish league for players.

That Van Dijk guy ended up there after we missed out on him. Dodged a bullet there.

 

[Sheebo]

I think we could do with another right back myself. The greyhound still has a lot of improvements to make and some competition would be healthy.

 

[Bladders]

Lets see if Naylor says no.

Were we not in for the Caen RB too? He's not rubbished that one yet

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Can play centre back ( 4th choice Goldson replacement ? ). Home grown.

Sing him up !

That’s right!
He wasn’t even in the World Cup squad..
Pony.

 

[um bongo molongo]

This would make sense - can cover as CB and ready made Bruno replacement?

All the goals are penalties

 

[ferring seagull]

Good bombing forward, good crosser but iffy defender !

 

[Whitechapel]

A large section of their fans don’t rate him because he can’t defend.

No thanks.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Gets into the opposition box a lot then

Can he??

I've never noticed him play anywhere other than full back. He's about 5'8"!

 

[GT49er]

Not sure we do need another RB at this moment, but as an attacking force, his delivery is superb. Dangerous balls into the box from positions where our players are more likely to turn round and pass it back to someone in the centre circle.
Defending? Not sure.........................

 

[Bob!]

Would he qualify as HGP?

 

[Silverhatch]

Not that I want Hemed to leave - but I reckon he could go the other way if there are any legs in this.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Would he qualify as HGP?

Yes (Newcastle)

 

[Betfair Bozo]

No thanks.

He, like very many modern day "full backs" is effective going forward which brings into focus their defensive capabilities. "Can't defend" is a complete exaggeration. (Some of their fans think Goldson is a "£100m player," a "Rolls Royce of a defender" and "very disappointing so far...") Whether he is good enough for the Premier League is hard to say for sure but if there is anything in it I wouldn't be averse at all. He is never a back up central defender though.
