I respect your opinion but choose to disagree. What if we are in the situation not far moved from the start of the season CB suspended, Sheaf injured, Tats out of form and then MVE picks up a. Injury, where is the cover then? I think if some of the other gaps are filled then maybe we have sufficient cover as youbhave outlined but as the squad is today, no we don't have sufficient cover.

Take it you’ll be delighted if we don’t add a player in an area of the pitch where we are desperate for more balance and quality then, soundPlenty of sodden mattresses this morning, I imagine.

Agreed in that circumstance perhaps, but you’ve just listed a lot of variables. That’s like saying “What if all 4 CBs are injured? Then what?” Cover is cover.

I mean if it happens can I say I’m in the know
And the Peterborough chairman admitted he was drunk!
Not what we need
Lazare Amani would be the dream signing for me, he looks exactly what we need. Thoughts @Tea & Busquets ?

Cantwell is Rudoni. We already have two expensive players in Wright and EMC competing for one position. I don't buy all that squad depth tosh, it's a cliche. Ideally you need an obvious number 1 and a good quality deputy who recognizes that is his role. Sheaf and Eccles. We have competition of equals at left back but only because neither is ideal.
The key to the play off season was two players worth serious cash in the most important positions - Vik & Gus - and two good loans in defence. For all our purchases Wright and MVE are the ones who might claim to be top drawer. The rest are handy, good, but based on early performances, not top drawer.
I remain happy with Sheaf as CDM with Eccles as back up. However we have no cover at all for MVE.

I was going to say 3 in and 3 out

Even just in terms of numbers we’re light in midfield now. Injuries to Sheaf and Rudoni would force us to play Allen Torp Eccles 90 mins every week.

He’s playing at his level though. We can do well better.

Don't think anyone really questions Cantwell's ability. His attitude on the other hand....
He’s going to Bochum anyway

Great player would cost 7 figures or close to that though.

Yes, naturally, after stating for months that we need a CDM and how gutted I was that we signed neither Stamenic or Browne.
Just dry it off and spray it with Fabreze, don’t be embarrassed.
No one is bed wetting, it’s painfully obvious to anyone that watches every game that we need to improve the midfield if we are to progress
