Fordy62 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Would much rather have Flint at CB than Hegeler. I hope this is to with an impending transfer rather than LJ's perception of CB ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the transfer drama was really about him having his head turned, then surely putting him into the starting XI might have pointed his head back in the right direction. Remember this was the guy who played every game last season. Don't believe you LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there is an argument that a centre back who can bring the ball out could be useful when we are at home. We'll miss Flint when our backs are to the wall though...

TRL Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 19 minutes ago, BRISTOL86 said: Definitely the former. Surely Wright and Baker will be our main pairing. Not sure about that. LJ Intimated he wanted to play with a centre back who could play the ball out and made references to Hegeler and him being an important part of that thinking. Added to the Hegeler himself sees himself as a centre back it seems Baker is a Flint replacement. Maybe he will look at 3 centre backs.. But I can't imagine it after buying Pisano Bakers unavailability through suspension and injury should not be overlooked. I am not sure he is a shoe in first choice to be honest.

Interesting thoughts TRL. Can you see Baker coming here if he wasn't going to be playing regularly? Be interesting to see how it pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
