How much have they spent this summer? Investment comes in different guises wages fees etc , it’s no his fault but as O’Neil says we can’t do either right now at thus level see his comments on sawyers and maje Bruce has already stated that there will be departures from West Brom in the coming weeks. He calls it "balancing his squad" but we all know that it's because he'll have to get some high wage earners off the books before they can bring others in. The goalkeeper has already gone to Crystal Palace.

Always seemed a bit of bollocks that we’d be genuinely interested.

Verrrrry slow news day and obviously bollocks but hey...... Would be odd to try and bring in another right back, wouldn’t it? Unless the goal is to put Clarke at right centre back of three then I don’t see us doing it.

Well just the same as with that prick once he tells you a load of shit you tend not to give much regard to anything he says in the future. Yet some people quote them like they're the oracle.

Ideally we could do with someone who can cover either side. Big ask I know.

Because we evidently don’t have a great deal to spend and already have two players who can cover a position. Why spend what little money you have on a squad player when there is a strong need to improve the team?

I don't think we have any credible fullback cover on either side given the season ahead and the fatigue of the role. If Fox or Duhaney are anywhere near the first team for more than 45 minutes we are totally fooked.

I think I recall us going down that same path not too long ago. It doesn't lead to a rose garden just a tangle of weeds. They are the cover unless we can shift them. It's not a pretty thought but he wanted them once enough to give them a contract and they certainly haven't deteriorated with age.

Fox was shocking in the 10 league games he played last season he has deteriorated considerably and he wasnt much good to start with, he's not a wing back and slows the team down by 20 yards. So unless we go flat back four he's hopeless. If we do go flat back four Tymon cant defend he isnt a Left back in a four. Duhaney was a panic signing. The club's job has to be to replace both. We have no idea how Clarke will perform, so to think we are relying on Tymon and Clarke to be fit for 40 games each is truly irresponsible without better cover.

Absolutely spot on and agree from what we have seen from Duhaney and the shocking Fox. I would hate to think if we were on for the plays off and we suffered injuries to our full back first choices. I am sure the management will be aware of the eventuality and recruit better cover? We can’t judge the final squad until the window has closed. Still going to be plenty of comings and going’s I think?

Tymon can defend in a back four, he did it last season He's not the skinny kid who was out of his depth at lb anymore We absolutely need at least one more fullback /wingback agreed

Jack Grimmer would join a very select group if he does sign. He would be one of the few who has played for both Stoke and Port Vale. He played for the Vale,on loan, in 2014. He played 13 times, scoring once. He also scored the winning goal against us in 2018, playing for Coventry, when then beat us 2-1 in the third round of the cup.

Still going to be plenty of comings and going’s I think? The official site is only showing us with 14 outfield senior players and that includes DWP and TOB 🙄 add the 2 new boys and we still need half a dozen. If we let Doughty go without a LWB replacement it makes his original signature and subsequent departure even more baffling. Let's be clear if either Tymon or Clarke get injured with our current players we will be changing formation completely which is mad.

Do they still exist? Any decent fullback should be able to play on the other side however more of an issue for wingback as crossing is more of a feature

Fox can’t play left side centre back. He can’t play left wing back. He can play left back, and has done pretty well doing so throughout his career. We have two options for right full back if Clarke were to get injured. Whether you want to say that they are good enough or not is fine. It doesn’t mean that they don’t exist though. We have no cover for attacking midfield. We have no wing cover. We have no target man. We have limited central defence cover. We don’t have a good goalkeeper on the books, but we do have three of them. There are plenty of other things that we need before a fourth right back option comes into play.

Tymon is plenty good enough a LB saying he can't defend is bollox. Duhaney was given a contract in January nothing much about him has changed since then. If we want different players we should get rid of them or not bring them in in the first place. You can't just keep saying fetch me another boy scout this ones split.

It’s still a 4 week holiday for most though. Only Souttar (if fit) will likely be going.

The days of four players sitting deep and defending have been over for a considerable time. Catch up.
