We have 8...8 CB's an exaggeration? Not for me.<br /><br />We have 8 midfielders that like to play in the hole behind the striker, and not a single winger at the club.<br /><br />So why not 8 CB's? :-)<br /><br />On another note, would anyone be surprised if we didn't make another signing before the window closes?Rhinogoonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-90573702801926785422010-08-20T15:53:07.948+01:002010-08-20T15:53:07.948+01:001979 - Not sure about youngsters.

Rio was in the West Ham squad at an early age.<br /><br />What I am saying is that if we have a good enough player, then back him.

Bartley has a year away this season and then maybe if he does well, he'll get into the squad.<br /><br />Problem is for a young player, they need games to develop, if you use an 18/19yo as squad cover they will not get enough games to develop as a 1979goonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783799499006052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-44035998265426450942010-08-20T12:46:24.405+01:002010-08-20T12:46:24.405+01:00no club can keep 4 good centre backs happy.

This situation could either go well next week and deals are done with Fulhum and Sevilla, which gives us the squad depth we apparently need, or we are going to see Monsieur Wenger do his other trick of walking away from a deal if the money is not right, possibly with a view to coming back in January.<br /><br />The official website says Djourou is fit for tomorrow's game, so he can Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195190597835036529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-65893062836705779742010-08-20T10:10:47.435+01:002010-08-20T10:10:47.435+01:00My thoughts, Billy - Decent player, not really bot...My thoughts, Billy - Decent player, not really bothered that he will be off to Spurs.<br /><br />Frimpong - shame for the lad, hope he has a quick recovery - It is all happening again, a week into the season and already missing quite a few players through injury/suspension.
