Is Dom Ball the answer?

[jackrfc95 4,255]

Warburton not ruling out bringing him back as it seems he may be leaving Spurs.

Is he the answer to our defensive problems? Would we be happy if he was the only CB brought in?

Absolutely, not even up for discussion. 

[bennyali 248]

He is the answer. If the question is "which defender did we sign on loan from Tottenham last season?"

[Smile 26,600]

No he wasn't even the Answer last season none of the loans impressed me.

Was he a striker for Ghana national team?

His brother works in the ticket office, but that might be Wong.

I think we could do a lot worse than ball tbh. Young guy with potential and knows the script with our club and has knows the squad with new arrivals being an exception..

 

[Wullies_bowly_legs 3,795]

As a DM yes as he was excellent against the scum and sorely missed in the final. Now we are covered for DM's. But as a CB - we can do better.

Edit....went for a already used joke there.  School boy error 

[sammy cox 664]

For some Pique,Kompany and Hummels wouldn't be the answer.

[Escobar 13,676]

Wouldn't mind if we had kept him on but he's not the answer after us failing to sign the other players we were after. 

[Mojo84 182]

No. Peoples fascination with Ball is bewildering to me. He's no better than Wilson or Kiernen, cost us goals in the same way that those two did, he's not very quick and he didn't seem to have particularly good positional awareness.

Not good enough.

That's the thing though, can we do better?

Seems we haven't anyone lined up, and haven't been able to get and deals for those we did over the line. 

Might be him or nothing. 

[AljayBoy 2,298]

No.

 

We need an experienced defender aged about 25 - 30 to come in and be good enough to be the undisputed first choice centre half, which leaves the other spot up for grabs for either Wilson or Kiernan to hopefully raise their game and fulfill the potential the management team obviously think they possess.

 

Anything less puts the title in doubt.

I'm not so sure Kompany has a lot of injury problems at the moment. That's the type of center backs we like!

[Turnberry18 3,204]

For the limited position we have when it comes to signings yes, he is the answer. If he was a permanent signing I think he would be a far better player. I struggle to remember a match where he let the club down.

Might just have to settle for Hummels and Pique then I suppose they will do

[WGOH 2,344]

No

[Drum 160]

Dom Ball's form improved dramatically toward the end of the season as he was given regular starts. I would like to sign him permanently and pair him with Wilson. 

Surely to goodness Hill and Weir can bring the best out of that partnership. 

 

[left winger 14,134]

If we want another central defender at the same level we already have, he'll do. However, we need much better.

[The Godfather 71,869]

No.

It's just desperation if we do because we don't have a clue who to go for because we have pissed about all summer not addressing the biggest hole in our squad.

Agree with this but think it will be very hard to get someone like that in given the budget we'll have. Think Ball is much like the other 3 centre backs i.e. if they were left out the starting 11 no one would be shocked.

It's arguable that finding the right CB is the hardest task for any coach. Many great sides throughout the history of the game can be almost identified by the CB partnerships, Rangers included. With our limited funds that task is even harder.

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

We missed him in the final in that defensive midfield position where he was excellent against them in the semi final but I doubt as a centre back he's the answer to our defensive problems.
