Re: Djed Spence

Get in we needed to sign 3 RBS this summer

Least Tutu can play LB so we have cover, is this lad any good?

Re: Djed Spence

I’m finding this deal a strange one.

We had at least 3 right backs before bringing him in.

And he was supposedly a target of more than one PL club.

Which makes me wonder why we went for him, why were Boro happy to loan him out & why was he happy to ( at best ) make a sideways move.

Odd..

PS I suspect he will prove to be a shrewd acquisition.

Re: Djed Spence

Let me get this right…

We had Jenkinson, Gabriel, Richardson and Back at the club.

We signed the Arsenal lad on loan.

Gabriel has played the most league games and has been sold.

We’ve signed TWO more right backs.

Got it, carry on.

Allegedly didn't like being played as a winger, and Boro signed 2 RBS ahead of him (from my cousin who knows a Boro fan).

So instead he came to a club with 4 rbs already

It won’t happen - but surely the makeup of our squad is now crying out for 3:5:2..

Re: Djed Spence

Can he also play left back, so that Bong returns to the bomb squad where he rightly belongs?

Re: Djed Spence

Think Djed will be used more as a winger and Silva used more as a striker.

Re: Djed Spence

I quite like the look of Spence. A shame there doesn't seem to be a permanent option.

I really think CH needs to at least have a look at playing a back 3 with the potential wing back options we have. Let them provide the width and get Zinckernagel/Johnson, etc closer to the striker(s).

Re: Djed Spence

This is the one I understand least.

Tutu seemed like the main RB, albeit with crumbly hamstrings.
Back seemed like the youngster with most promise, hence the decision to let Gabriel go.
The Olympiacos lad seemed like backup for a very young Back and a very broken loanee.

I don't really get where this guy fits in? If he's better than Tutu, we might as well send him back. If he's pure backup, why bother with Dräger? He's not an option for the future as he's only on loan.

Odd. It's all gone a little bit FM.

- Sorry Dane, you need to sign Mohamed Dräger.
- Who?
- Mohamed Dräger. Right back. Olympiacos. Orders from above. Settling the accounts. You know the drill.
- Goddamn. OK, but I'm signing another right back as well out of spite.

I agree, which is why I asked if Tutu can play as a winger.

Dräger can also play wide midfield. He played there for both Freiburg and Paderborn.

Re: Djed Spence

3 of the highest 10 bumped threads on the forum at the moment are threads about right backs that we've signed this summer it's a bit nuts considering we were meant to get more joined up thinking with regards to transfers this summer :LOL:

Re: Djed Spence

This lad can evidently play left-back too Alf.

We also have, in my opinion obviously, a more-than-capable left-back for this level out on loan in Serie B. Hughton's replacement may seek to bring him back in January if a problem remains, although I'm expecting Lowe to perform well in the role.

Was just a joke mate, hence the ":LOL:" But it's still a good point worth making.

Agree, he must have fallen out with Warnock.
