Hopefully Mutch and Williams, but unfortunately I cannot see anyone buying them.

Someone might take Chungy, but you are asking alot for someone to take Mutch. He didn't exactly sparkle at Reading last season.

3-4-3 is suited to the front players and possibly half or just over of the starting XI. Anyone claiming otherwise is wrong, including Frank, which is why he needs to completely change the defence. This is going to be interesting. Before the window started we had a net spend of £30 mil available, about 15 good players and a handful of positions to fill. 2 in with £22 mil left, a good few or more to recruit, and one at £20 mil. If we had £60 mil available it'd be safer to do. We don't. Better be ready to play 4-3-3 as well as 3-4-3. We do not need to change all the defence.

Yeah I don't think he's buying new defenders becuase ours are slow. Chamber isn't known for his speed, nor is Martins Indi nor Sakho. He's buying new center backs becuase he doesn't rate ours. Period. New Keeper becuase we only have two. I'll repeat myself, only position we haven't got a player for is right wing back. Our right back everyone wants strengthening anyway so really that would have been a position looked at. So really all he is doing is buying BETTER defenders.... now come on that's only a good thing. There's not a leader between he current crop. Everyone should stop wetting themselves that someone wants to be able to play two systems. 433 and 343 that's what he's stated. And to do that he wants to have a rock solid defence which means Ward Dann Tomkins Kelly Damo will need to be upgraded, they've had long enough to show what there made of. Maybe he won't replace them all but there's not a leader between the lot of them. So drastic surgery is being undertaken. Anyone who thinks we should go in to the season playing Ward, Dann, Tomkins, Schlupp needs there head seeing to. It'd be a game or two before there confidence is crushed as they are absolutely headless chickens without a leader in there. In 343 we'll end up with 5 defenders on the pitch which again should help us from leaking a god awful amount of goals. Plus our magical wingers can play higher up the pitch and not worry about bailing out said shocking defenders... I hope both systems he wants to be able to play work. But let's be perfectly honest. He's replacing defenders who aren't up to the job. And yes to be able to have TWO systems we need three decent center backs. Stop with the bed wetting... We have been crying out for a manager to have more than one game plan. Low and behold as soon as we get a manager who spends presession training the guys in another system everyone gets there sissy little pink knickers wet.

And as good as they've been in the past they were seriously found wanting for large parts of last season. If anyone wants to start with the same back line. Fair enough, but I'm all for a top top world class defender who's now our manager, being backed over weather he thinks he needs to change things up. He gets my vote and I'm not gonna wet myself if he wants a couple of new defenders... They were god awful for most of last season, I'd think it'd be boardline gross negligence not to reinforce the back line..

You got to remember, we on a tight budget as easy as it is to buy defenders, we got to find some suitors for dann and others as we can't afford to have a player like dann in the stands on 65k a week.
