Cech - JT - Carvalho - A.Cole, Essien, think Makelele was around as well Laylabelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,760 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Now signing Hato is being criticised? He is a perfectly good LB/CB replacement for the bench at this stage. We are two CBs of good quality away from competing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he starts over Acheampong who has been rested for the past two games, despite showing good form in his previous appearances, then yes - i have to ask why he gets a starting spot. If Acheampong returns to the starting 11 on Saturday over Chalobah or Fofana, I'll take back my comment. Until then, I'll question the intention of our squad planners. Maresca has made 85 changes to his starting 11 this season. More than any other manager. It's a strategy driven from the top, by Winstanley & co. The manager is not that crazy.

We are two CBs of good quality away from competing. We didn't need another "potential" defender. We already have two decent young defenders out on loan in France and Germany. Hincapie was right there and even though Arsenal had like 4 CB's and 2 LB's, they still went out and got him. Talent hoarding is one thing but you also need to balance that with some experience as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
