Its no shock to any of us that we could do with a new left back and a right back, if we were to sell Konchesky and Johnson and buy two new full backs, who realistically would you like to see come in, how much would they cost and why what do they offer?
 
We could either go for youth and pace

RB: Santon
LB: Ansaldi (Rubin Kazan) or Perreira (Porto)

or

We could take a different route and go solid defenders like

RB: Gökhan Gönül
LB: Corluka

They wouldnt cost alot of money and are better than what we currently have even though i rate Johnson.

Personally i would try sign

RB: Corluka
LB: Felipe

or just give Kelly a chance as he is obviously capable of playing there
 
It seems most everyone rates Kelly so if Johnson is to be sold or scrapped I don't see why Kelly wouldn't play. As for the left side, I would be happy with Aurelio if he wasn't permacrocked. So, we need a left back. Darn.
 
I'm not convinced Johnson's concentration is good enough to be RB for us. He has the talent, but he switches off all too easily. Not convinced we should sell him yet, but there's more than a few doubts there.

LB is a bigger concern. No idea who we should buy though.
 
Magic will do. He's done well there and will so again once we get a capable defensive midfielder.

He has not been a shining defensive light because of the way the team is set up to play but he is one of our main attacking threats going forward.

I rate him and still can't believe that Roy hasn't tried him further forward when we don't have natural width.
 
I quite like Gregory Van Der Wiel, plus Ajax are a selling club, but is he strictly a RB, cause its clear as day we need a LB first and I like Johnson.
 
Cissokho for LB, or Coentrao.

for RB i'd have to look for someone in the Finnan mould, dunno who though.
 
We are stuck with Konchesky until next season... You are not allowed to play for 3 clubs in the same season.. He has already played for Fulham and us 🙂

Spurs are just one club, mate.

But I'll go check again just to be sure.

That's because he went back to spurs, so we can sell konchesky back to fulham only in January
 
Why oh why oh why oh why don't we try him at RM and play Kelly behind him. It is fucking so obvious.

I know. At least just fucking try it.
 
It's fucking obvious. I really don't want to see Johnson at fullback EVER again.

Kelly needs games and needs to establish himself, he looks more than capable.

They would defo offer å half season with silly excuses of how long time they need to get used to things.

Another dig at the owners.
 
I'm happy with Johnson at right-back under normal circumstances. I think the change of system (inviting teams onto us and playing a deep line) has affected him more than most in the side. A return to a higher line in a more attack-oriented side will see him recover his form soon enough. He's become something of a whipping boy at the club of late whilst players like Kuyt, on yet another horrific run of from (yet similarly affected by the change in system) escape censure as usual.

That all said, I'd also like to see him at RW ahead of Kelly. He's really quite a potentially skilful and pacy winger/right midfielder.

He'll improve now, i'm sure of it.

Yeah, surely he can't keep banging on about the owners for ever in EVERY thread.
