    Yeah that is bad news, I just read the report.

    Hopefully it's not a really bad one but it's definitely gonna be 3-4 months minimum. Unluck for Lejeune & us.

    So we'll be battling on with 3 CBs, Crossing fingers & everything else that Lacelles & the other two stay fit & healthy!

    Massive shame for him...and us. He'd begun to play really well with Lascelles.

    We're after that CB from Bristol, aren't we?

    Starting the season on the back foot with bargain buys.

    ffs

    We will buy the Bristol City full back and use Dummett as a 4th CB (if needed)

    Clark is decent cover and I expect Schaer to be up to it...

    Gutted about Lejeune though.

    Lad lasted 30 Mins last season before Kane Crocked him. Didn't even get that far this year.

    I read 6-9 months out. Hopefully it's just the 3-4 mentioned above.

    I expect we'll use Dummett/Yarney as the 4th choice CB and we'll go for that player from Bristol City.

    ALthough having said all of hte above i did read in chronicle (i know, i know) that Rafa wants to get another CB to cover his absence.

    I would go loan for a CB with experience ie maybe someone early 30s and buy the LB.

    Can't see what's wrong with Clark to be honest, he was a regular for quite some time.

    He was, but his deficiencies were starting to show. Great in the Chimpo, not so much in the Prem-I'd be worried if he was a starter although, being honest, I don't know much about our new lad.
