Hi Ed, do you expect the transfer of lacroix to go through and potentially signing a 2nd CB.
{Ed001's Note - Lacroix yes but I think that is it in terms of centrebacks unless you lose a few more. }

Ed do you think he's an upgrade on what we have? he looked awfull in the games he played at world cup it concerns me, the 1 question i asked was is he even on upgrade on trevoh?
{Ed001's Note - it is hard to say, the way Palace played meant he was very well protected and never really pushed out of his comfort zone like he was last night. It is a major concern that he might not be so good without all the cover in front of him and a higher line.}

Yeah, for sure. Last night was a big worry. However, he'll be next to Levi. Levi made Fofana look like a Rolls-Royce of a cb the season before last, so maybe it can work. ? Going to be a busy summer at SW6. Any info on Wharton? There were rumours he was going to Chelsea for a while.

Poch, I agree, he did have a couple of dodgy moments at the WC, but then he also FOS a few things that surprised me. He certainly looks comfortable on the ball and can ping a pass.
I have no idea how Alonso will set us up next season, but he looked comfortable in the Premiership, and we may well play a similar shape to Palace.

Lacroix may be ok next to LC, but only if they have midfielders in front of them who can tackle.

JBS, I think you are right, let's not sign him and give Josh a chance instead.

I would sign him, and then (unfortunately) I think we sell four CHs.
