    CB or RW?

    With 60mln burning hole in your pocket, who you would rather go for?

    I think we get both till personally.

    I think we have roughly £100 million to spend.

    Of the two - a CB has to be the priority - we have other players who can play RW. . . CB, we're down to Burn alone for next 3 games as an actual CB.

    Interesting...

    If we got around £100 mil to spend, and the CB alternative is Guehi for about 65-70 % of that budget - one could be tempted to think that a £70 mil right forward/winger could give more bang for the buck...

    That said, I think our weakest position now is CB.

    Personally, I'd rather get a RW but, as our main problem kasr season was conceding, I guess you'd have to say a CB.

    We tied Liverpool for goals scored last season. Our defensive record wasn't up to par, so I'll say CB. That being said.... I know the largest part of our problem defensively last season was Pope being out but I'd rather have Schar/Guehi than Schar/Lascelles.

    I think we'll get both though. Guehi and Madueke on loan with option to buy is what I'm leaning.

    It's easy to say RW, because it's obvious our right hand side is not as strong as our central attack or LW.

    However...as previously mentioned... defence was an issue last season whilst we scored lots of goals.

    Pope missing was obviously a big factor..but pace at CB has been a long time issue.
