Cifuentes and Danilo seem like goers but is there any updates on a defender coming in? Think we’d all agree the left side of our defence isn’t strong enough. Seems like any links to a defender has gone quiet. Maybe due to us struggling to move on Davies and/ or Barasic?

It appears Davies and Barasic not moving on is the problem there, looks like Davies wants to but to get £4m back on him now won't be easy . Barasic just wants to stay and go to sleep for half a game as per normal . If his performance v Newcastle doesn't prove he's a problem then nothing will.

Kelso, it’s 3 million. The rest were addons.

I don’t think we will be signing another CB anymore. I think he will want to go with a pairing of Goldson and Souttar. Souttar is too good play sit on the bench.

I’d be happy to take £3m for Davies and move on…
Got to remember we’re hoping to get trusty or panzo for £2m so can’t expect clubs in same league to pay more for davies.

Funny how everyone picks on barasic for defending even though he's a better defender than Tav ?.

Maybe clamp those people who keep running those false 100% truths!

Zikos Souttar is solid but has also made numerous mistakes when playing including those in high profile games. He’s injury prone as well so I’d be concerned if we went into next season with him as one of our main 2 centre halves.

Yeah because nobody should post rumours on a rumours site eh.

Goforbigcf2 I can’t agree with that comment, barasic is a lot worse at defending than tavs, especially over the last 2 seasons.


10.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 14:22:07
Most sensible think you have said on here in a long time gofor. Barasic is a better defender than Tav.


11.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 14:27:40
Barasic better than Tav you’re having a laugh.


12.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 14:36:03
We didn’t pay 4 mill for him but.


13.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 14:42:21
Storm no he’s not. Slow as a week in jail, constantly sleeping, weak, not good in the air and gets beaten all the time on 1v1s. Barasic isn’t better than Tav in any way shape or form. Should’ve been sold after we won 55 has been on a massive decline since then.


14.) 21 Jul 2023

Barasic was at fault for the goal at the weekend tav was not. Tav clears his lines a lot more than borna don’t know what some fans actually watch. Barasic has a good cross and offered little else.


15.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 15:19:59
Goforbigcf2 both of them are crap defenders maybe with better CBs they will be better covered.


16.) 21 Jul 2023

Raskin even his crossing is a myth it’s average at best.


17.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 15:40:37
At defending it was meant to have said and yes he is.


18.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 15:42:28
Yeah raskin that goal that meant nothing at the weekend will we talk about the goals Tav cost us against Celtic last year alone? Goals that actually
Do matter.

This also goes to prove some people are blind when it comes to Tav because he is so good going forward Tav is the worst defender in our defence and has been for years.


19.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 15:43:16
David he is and it’s not even hard to see obviously you are blind.


20.) 21 Jul 2023

Just my opinion but Borna and Tav are both good footballers and are both good full backs. Both are attacking full backs and like most attacking full backs sometimes get caught out.


21.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 17:21:07
Storm how many times has Barasic been caught sleeping against Celtic since we won 55? I can think of a hell of a lot more incidents of that than I can tavernier getting caught against them.


22.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 17:42:30
Storm - against Celtic? How many goals did Borna ship allowing their attacker to ghost in behind him?


23.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 20:29:19
I feel Kent sold Borna down the river plenty, but even still he is a far cry from the bandaged bloodstained captain we signed and has lost his bottle a bit after fome injuries. But to doubt his crossing He has a wand of a left peg.


24.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 20:40:03
Tav has been caught out more times that barasic any all the games played . David you can only think of the ones for barasic because you like Tav more than him. Barasic hands down 100% a better defender and stats prove this also.


Lazlo a lot less than what Tav has done.


25.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 20:56:21
The fact that people are arguing over whos worse at defending tav or barasic tells you we must improve the defence.


26.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 21:39:43
I don't know what we paid for Davies, however if it was £3m I think getting that back would be a struggle .

I have never seen a player switch off or nod off as bad as Barasic, he was awful v Newcastle .


27.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 23:34:04
Tav got owned by Anthony stokes what more do you need to say

Tav shag it from maeda at Ibrox last year and is posted missing all the time when defending

And if ball goes over his head he gets totally lost

.

Look Its not that I don't like Tav I really like him but would push him into midfield and play a more defensive RB in big games.


28.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 23:35:21
I also told everyone on here at start of last season we severely overpaid for Davies and was mocked

Proved right again ?.


29.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 23:36:06
So true bigdado been saying for a while on here now that defense cost us league not forwards.


30.) 21 Jul 2023
21 Jul 2023 23:36:47
Tavs goals blind peoe to his woeful defending

Simple.


31.) 21 Jul 2023

Lazio defending at the back of Tav goldson is a horrendous job as they fail to cut out any crosses.

Were you saying same when goldson left bassey out to dry in Europa final by not cutting out cross this is what leads to barasic being caught out a lot of the time.

The only real one I can't forgive barasic for is not clearing ball vs Celtic when raskin stopped playing to wait for a refs whistle that never came barasic stopped too he should know better.

Kelso

Liverpool bought Davies for 500k and one year later having not made an appearance we bought him for 3 million ? crazy deal on our part.

{Ed001's Note - he only had 6 months left on his contract when Liverpool signed him and he also asked to be allowed to take the opportunity as he knew it was his only chance.}
