I certainly didn't say "back-ups" - I said "Additions". We need more depth, and if it's better than what we have, then great - but it has to be at least as good as what's already there, regardless of position. So for me, we have two left-backs who are at least equal to each other. Are there better out there? Sure. But you don't build a team on pick-and-mix unless you have the money to do so. We work to a budget constraint, so we have to build methodically, and that means going through each area continually, and strengthening it. Always looking at the weak spots first, not the strong ones. There are statistics that show that strengthening a weaker area has a more positive effect on results than strengthening an already strong area of the field. So we need to be looking at where we are short, rather than just picking up the strongest players available regardless of position. Because if we do that, then the weak areas will always remain weak.
Much of a muchness.
We do need more depth, agree with that, but looking into buying "an equal" Enrique/Cissokho, doesn't do anything but cater for injuries or tiredness. This a huge dent in Spurs purchases this summer, its all very equal and good for rotation throughout cups but that's it.
Glen, Hendo, Kelly - RB/RWB
Enrique, Cissokho - LB/LWB
Bring in a top LB, Enrique becomes your depth. Cissokho goes. That 100% prioritises over bringing in somebody to sit between Glen and Henderson for RB.
Its all down to individuals either way, and Rodgers is the one who knows the "weak areas".
No doubt its about adding quality, and depth. They go hand in hand anyway.
