Sign a defender to defend first of all, not to attack. Unless you think we need to carbon copy Liverpool's approach. I would rather have a solid defence than the gung ho focus down the wings.
It's not enough that he can defend if we are going to struggle against 14 teams who sit deep. He's totally not needed in those games. We'd be better off with a poorer defender but one who could overlap and cross a ball.
It's all well and good saying it's the attackers fault we can't score goals but when they sit in deep and mark our forwards closely if leaves huge spaces for our fullbacks to exploit. And they aren't capable of it.
Defensively Shaw and AWB are fine, AWB being the stronger. But you can't rely on CM to create all the goals. Fullbacks have to contribute in the modern game. Ours don't.
