Media are all over a Dumfries buy today. With the transformation ETH has worked on AWB, do we really need DD?
All that's needed is to bring on/ coach AWB to get forward more and cross to the new big guy and we could save some millions to spend elsewhere.
It's a purely personal opinion but the transformation in AWB lately is proof positive of the skillsets of ETH and his new coaching squad.
DD or stick with AWB?

Not sold on Dumfries. I don't see RB as a priority this window in any case. Then again if ETH and his coaching staff can make AWB look good what could they do with DD!

AWB’s positioning still needs a lot of work. He gets drawn in centrally far too often, leaving acres of space on the flank for the opposition to attack. I do think he’s improved offensively as of late, but his defending is nowhere near up to scratch for a team with title ambitions.

then again Dumfries is known for leaving acres of space behind him because all he cares about is attack.

If I was DoF I wouldn't look to Dumfries, too expensive for me, there are bigger holes in the squad right now, for me.
I'd probably concentrate on planning to thin the squad out to make room in the budget for needed additions and for youth.

We should definitely be looking at the youth, there’s a number of 30+ players involved in our starting line up. Madrids midfield looks home and hosed for the next 10 years with their recent recruitment.

On DD, I like him. I like what he gives us up top and would see him as an upgrade to AWB despite the upturn in form. However, it’s far from a priority. Also think Timber is a player we should be keen on.
