I don't get this 'we need a RB' talk.

Ferguson was bought to be RB. We should give him a chance to see:
a) if he can keep fit, and
b) if he gets match fit, whether he can do the job

We should also bear in mind that Richards may well be able to do that job once he's become accustomed to PL football.

IMHO we should leave talk of a new RB till next summer when we should have a better idea as to whether or not Ferguson and/or Richards can do the job and whether or not any of our Academy RBs might be viable options.

But Colwill probably won't be available next year, he might be available now. Sometimes you have to take opportunities when they arise. He who hesitates...

So I think there might be a case for trying to bring him in even though I agree that other positions, particularly in midfield where we have replaced one of those who left (Kouyate) but not the other (Gallagher), should be the priority.

I think our midfield is a major problem. We’ve lost Gallagher and Kouyate and Macca is also injured as well as being old and therefore only when fit likely to last 60 minutes. Luka isn’t the player he was a couple of seasons back and Schlupp is more a fill in / squad player. The defence and attacking players are there but without a midfield we will be struggling. I don’t see Eze as a Gallagher replacement and with him Olise and Zaha in a starting 11 I see us lacking even more in midfield. We need at least two midfielders to come in. Hopefully Vieira sees that as well?

I think he views Andersen and Guehi as nailed on CB starters if fit. He's simply listing the back-up options as he sees them.

Gone to Brighton on loan, time to move on.
