The only silver lining is that Burn now has to play at centre back where he’s more suited (and can be third choice next season when we sign a new CB) and *hopefully* Hall gets a run at LB.
**** knows what’s happened to Targett.
This. He made a real impact when he came on. Showed good energy, pace and ability on the ball. Promising signs and the potential is definitely there. Remember he's only 19 so I can see why we would sign him on a perm as him and Tino could be our future full-back duo for many, many years to come. But yes this also means Burn will be playing more CB. I don't want to see him in that LB position again UNLESS there's nobody else we can play there. For god's sake we have Trippier, Tino, Hall, Kraft and as we saw Murphy can play as a full back/wing back (done a decent job bombing forward from that position yesterday) and even worst case you have Dummet who's played LB before.. even Ritchie for crying out loud can cover there in a crazy injury emergency shortage. Let Burn cook up in that CB position and STAY there. With Botman and Lascelles out for a long time another CB is a MUST now in the summer. Get a pacey, strong and athletic CB to partner Schar. Burn can be 3rd choice, release Dummet and maybe have young Alex Murphy as the 4th choice? if not loan him out and get 2 CBs. Lloyd Kelly (being linked to him constantly) can be one and then one of Kevin Danso, Jarrell Hato, Zeno Debast, Jordan Beyer, Morato and Trevor Chalobah could be the other.. all young (under 25) and playing in good European leagues. They also won't break the bank as we can probably get them for under 20 million
