Whittaker is not nearly good enough. His positioning, decision making and pace when defending is absoultely woeful. And that is just in the SPL. Against the worlds best left wingers, in the CL, he will get absolutely ripped to shreds.
We can't play David Weir in the champions league. This statement may cause a bit of controversy. I know he is our club captain, and don't get me wrong, he has been a phenomenal signing by Walter, but he is far too slow for the CL now. If we play him we are going to have to play very, very deep. This is absolute suicide in the CL. We will have to back of our opponents far too much, and they will absolutely decimate us. Walter himself says Davie will not play 3 games in a week.
To gain points at home in the CL(anything gained away is a bonus IMO) we have to force a high line and press the game. This is impossible with Big Davie in the side.
Ideally I would also like a pacy, creative winger signed, but that is not a necessity and is beyond our spending power.
We have 12 days before the window slams shut. If we don't sign a new quality right back, and a partner for boogie, we will really struggle in the CL, and it will puts our championship hopes in the balance.
Does anyone expect us to rectify these huge problems in the next 12 days? And if so, who do you think will be brought in?
