After a full year of playing a centre back at right back, we're linked with. a centre back who has been forced to play right back.
He is much better than what we have, but we Need someone direct and aggressive to support and overlap the right winger, not just a better version of what we have, which isn't working.

I agree Alex, just another Ben Godfrey only a bit better, definitely not the type that is needed.

He is a much better version, gets forward and supports attacks really well. He is physically very different to OBrien as well. If we want to improve as a team he is the type/level we should be getting in.

Not for me Bunkbeds, wasting our money, not the type we need.

A couple of years ago White left the England world cup camp for "personal reasons", it transpired that the coach Steve Holland had questioned his attitude and White walked out.
Hope he has the right attitude.

I think he’d be an upgrade. England used him as a right back too, he was very effective for both club and country.

We need a RW and striker. Our RB had a good game, he kept trying to get forward on overlap but Dibling was in the way and the one time he did go, Dibling God bless him passed the ball backwards without looking to where Patterson wasn't but a Sunderland player was.

Someone like White is the type of player who will help the Dibblings of this world improve. His skill set is what this team needs. Can easily play cb and cdm.

We shouldn't just be aiming for 'an upgrade', we need to look for the Right player.
Callum Wilson would be an upgrade on B&B, but it doesn't mean he's right, nor does it mean he is the right type of player for us.
Constantly recruiting players we think are improvements on what we have, without actually planning ahead for how they fit in the system, is how you end up with so much dead weight in your squad.

upgrade means it's better no?
He is a better rb than we have - tick.
Played almost all recent football at rb - tick. Skillful, fast, very good defence, very good football intelligence - tick.
Been playing in much better team for past 3-4 season - tick
Can play cb and cdm- tick
Yeah sounds a terrible way to improve our first team and squad.

Wages would be heavy. I am not really keen on him as a bloke. Fake tan, questionable goatee, doesn't like football, England behaviour . Doesn't seem the right type of character for us but suggesting that he wouldn't dramatically improve us from a football perspective is nonsense. The lad is a top quality player, whether that is at CB or RB.

I would be happy with eleven players I can’t stand if they won every week.

I heard he thought what's the point of me being here and not playing because Kyle walker was 1st choice England RB at the time and he could be on holiday with his family instead.
