Zouma Shawcross and Bruno looks a tidy very balanced back 3 with Geoff and Johnson able to fill in. My only worry if that is the way were going is Eric. The worst wing back on the planet. Perhaps hell be understudy for Bruno at left CB, but he wont fit in that system. Where would Shaq play in that system to, certainly not wing back? Shaq and Bojan behind Bera? Depending on who we sign it could look like Zouma - Shawcross - Bruno New RWB - Allen - Fletcher - Tymon Shaqiri - Berahino - Bojan or New RB - Shawcross - Bruno - Tymon Allen - Fletcher - New CM Shaqiri - Berahino - Ramadan or New RB - Shawcross - Bruno - Tymon Allen - Fletcher Shaqiri - Bojan - Ramadan Berahino

Welcome back Bruno. Next seasons 0-4 drubbings just wouldn't be the same without you at the heart of them!

Might keep the wrist slashers at bay for 10 mins, 20 if we get Zouma also.

Who's going to go though? Muni or Wolly? If both sign we'll have..
Zouma, BMI, Shawcross, Cameron and 1 of those 2 as CB cover which will be enough, even Sweeney might stick around and we could possibly let Muni and Wolly go.

You'd think that Muni will be on his way considering the amount of links he's had to a move back home. I'm not sure Cameron will be considered as a centre half cover; he'll be classed as a midfielder that could play in the RHS of defence. If we're looking at Sweeney as someone who will step up in 18/19 (either to replace Zouma after a theoretical 12 month loan or, dare I say, when Ryan moves on) then he'll need plenty of quality playing time this season. You'd imagine that would be on loan somewhere, unless Wolly (or Ryan) were to also move on this summer.

Obviously no one likes us getting dicked but I can't understand peoples obsession with the 4 goal drubbings. As you point out the defence was reasonable apart from those games. To improve our season we needed to score more goals to win more games not lose those by narrower margins. Whats wrong with these people?

Wonderful news.
Unfortunately there seem to be people on here who still want to have a go at the club, sickening.

This news will piss a few people off. H It's been a Scholes masterclass that is for sure. Bollocks up the original option to buy clause, let the player slip away from the club, piss about for 8 weeks, pay £5M more than the original clause and the player misses 10 days of pre-season. Utter fucking genius. I'm sure he's handling the Shawcross renewal with similar dexterity!

Excellent news.
Central defence sorted plus the chance of Zouma would be awesome.
Im a big fan of 3 at the back BUT we do need proper wing-backs to do it correctly

The club have made total asses of themselves over this deal but it looks like its sorted now so we move on to the next problem there are plenty to go at.

Is wasn't binding, so means fuck all !.......Bruno is worth 14m and that's all that matters... No it wasn't. Doesn't it concern you that our clubs lawyers can't get a clause in a contract to bind? That then the CEO most probably believes is binding. And then this info is passed to the manager who then says don't panic, we have a deal in place, there's no rush, we can sign him whenever. That's extraordinarily poor practise. And bad business. He is, so getting him for 5m quid cheaper would have been ace and could have gone towards a right back. I take it you're just on one big wind up with this? If so, bravo, it's worked a treat so far. If not, ffs man

It's football He's been a great leader and a club legend and I do respect all he's achieved for our club but since his back problems he's been a shadow of himself. We need atleast two cbs including Bruno
