    Seems to be pointing to him leaving now a new left back has joined the Blades.
    Think Sheffield indicated he could leave on a loan or permanent.
    If speculation is to believed on social media I would expect an imminent announcement from Bradford.

    Has anyone reliable linked us with the Sheff Utd lad or is it just that made up Twitter account?

    I didn't see or hear about the T&A one. It is a terrible rag to try and read online

    Not sure but you'd hope it would be a permanent if he's any good?

    Not sure but with Richards and Wright we would be overloaded in that area unless Richards departs

    I agree, even though I think it's still a very weak area.

    I can't see the logic in a loan signing when Wilson is cheap back up.

    I agree. Tyriek Wright is obviously going to be first choice in that position and we have a few options at the moment for his back up. Personally I wouldn’t be prioritising a LWB unless we move on Richards and Wilson.
    I’d much rather us sign a pacy ball playing CB.

    That should be our RCB sorted then.

    I think he's a pants centre half. Now Vince, on the other hand was a great number six.

    You are obsessed with Richards been a LWB. Only Mark Hughes and GA (very sporadically) played him there.

    He didnt play there against Guiseley so maybe GA has even realised its a shite position for him.

    Cheers. I tried it but the one I normally use (12ft) seems a bit easier to read things on

    Yep.

    I did have LWB as the most critical area in need of improvement, and was disappointed GA saw untested Tyreik as the solution, but here we are. We've now committed to Wright and that position is now full.

    I don't want another ball playing CB personally, we need a big, dominant, strapping CB to play in the middle.

    All of the CB's we have are better to either side except perhaps Byrne (not sure?) - but I don't feel confident with Byrne being the only option at the very heart of our defence!

    But Johnson is 100% a RCB.

    You should know it's all about consistency for park these days :joy:

    Personally I didn’t want to see either Byrne or Stubbs anywhere other than in the middle of the three because neither have pace.
    Having said that I don’t think that any of our CBs are pacy or good on the ball which you need at least one of them to be if you’re playing 352.

    I disagree. Sam Stubbs is a perfectly good central CB in a back three. He’s good in the air and the tackle, reads the game well and is a vocal leader figure. In fact I’d rather he were our captain than Smallwood, who is useless at rallying the troops.
    Stubbs lacks pace, which is why at least one of the left or right CBs needs to be quick.
