Are we looking at any left backs as cover or long term replacement for bainesy for the summer Ed?

{Ed001's Note - the club were looking to try and develop a couple of the youngsters and see how they get on. Baines is expected to be challenged by Galloway next season, with Garbutt's performances over the season to be examined to see if he should be kept or not. Plus there is another youngster, an AMerican lad I think, who is also highly rated, that they want to try and bring through.}

Cheers ed.

{Ed001's Note - welcome. The only thing I can see changing that plan is if Koeman is alarmed by Baines' clear drop off over the last few seasons. He might decide he needs a stop gap to allow him to develop the youngsters, but I don't believe that to be the case, from what I am told. He is more worried about centre backs and right back cover for Coleman.}

Not too sure Baines has had a 'clear drop off' he's had a few more injuries than usual but he has been pretty consistent when he's played this year.

{Ed001's Note - if you say so, but the stats analysis the club itself does says otherwise.}

Who else apart from tripper has been looked at there?

{Ed001's Note - right back? Walsh is the one doing the looking and it is abroad. I believe one of the main targets is a Nice right back, no idea which one, as I have not seen anything other than goal highlights of their team, so don't know who is their starter. Knowing Walsh that would not matter anyway, as he could well have identified something from one of the back ups!}

Galloway very good when he had a run for use. Garbutt would be better as wing back, as his delivery is spot on, but question marks over his defending, and Antonee Robinson is very highly rated, maybe a loan spell for 3-6 months next season, supposedly he is extremely rapid too.

If cover for right back and new centre backs are the concern surely Koeman will look to move Holgate to centre back next season.

I mean, if a back up for right back is being pursued Holgate has to be moved to centre back. I certainly am well impressed with Holgate at right back. Going to be a top player.

That 4 3 win by stoke Galloway was taken apart playing at LB.

We need quality left and right backs, Coleman has a lot of work ahead to get fully fit, Galloway and Holgate are not good enough if our ambitions are CL, Galloway could not get regular game time at WBA, Holgate is promising but his delivery is poor, he is not an attacking RB and often gives possession away. Baines is aging and needs competition for his starting place.

Holgate one of the best if not the best player we have had for the past 7 games that he has started. Only player to look good the last 3 games.

His position is centre back. No doubt for me he will be with a top club in that position eventually. Hopefully with Everton.

Galloway is a different story. Still very young. Surprised some are considering keeping Garbutt. He is 3 years older than Galloway.
