    0-60 is so long he needs to start running before kick off to be able to keep up.

    Seriously though, Kaboom is one of our fastest players. He is just lacking ability and composure.

    Prodl is the best of our centre backs but I'd be happy with a completely new 1st choice pairing at the back. Britos and Kaboul are both top end championship quality not prem. Both are capable of good games but are soooo inconsistent. When they're good, they're ok. When they're bad, they're appalling.

    Surely if you want to play counter attacking football you want to play the opposite of a high defensive line . By defending deep you lure the opposition players into your own half therefore increasing the potential for counter attack .

    Yes. When you don't have the ball you will drop the defence and bring their team forward. Equally, the defenders have been quite up when we have possession and on occassion getting getting in the box when we're high on pressure. Seems to be a like a high pressure counter-attacking system. So when the other team counter our counter, we will need fast defenders to track back with the strikers.

    But yes, you're right.

    Austria are currently 4th in their WC qualifying group behind Serbia, Ireland and Wales (although they have the same points as Wales).

    I think the pace issue is a complete red herring. If you want to hit teams with pace on the break you really don't need fast CBs. Look at Leicester 2 years ago. I think it may be more that he quite likes Ranocchia and doesn't believe he can play both him and Prodl in the same team. I would take Prodl every time.

    Maybe Prodl has asked for this is he's not going to be 1st choice, as would appear to be the case

    Tbf, I think I'm the only person talking about his pace.

    But that said. Fast defenders are going to have the upper hand. It's not like being slow is a good thing, quite the opposite.

    It does seem odd as he was featured in a photo on something I got from the club yesterday at 17h30.

    Agreed. I suspect the Silva system thing might be a red herring as one could argue pace for a defender is useful in any system.

    Would be gutted if he went, probably one of my favourite Pozzo signings and one of their shrewdest I reckon.

    He’s one of those that has really built an affinity with the fans and has always come across as a good character and one of the few who spoke well to the media last season especially.

    I can’t see it happening or the logic behind it unless Silva really just doesn’t fancy him (hard to believe with the big dreamboat Seb though)

    Seems like inter are desperate to get rid of ranocchia, according to this dodgy source. Seems they are trying to palm him off on southampton now. Is he **** then? This paragraph caught the eye, what was the catastophic error?

    "However, Ranocchia revived his once shining reputation somewhat with a decent loan spell at Hull City in the second half of last season, despite making a catastrophic error in the 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace which confirmed their relegation form the Premier League"

    Anyway, I love italian defenders and it's about time we had another one. Cassetti, my beloved Angella...we had some gooduns.

    And future double-winner Kevin Richardson. And Mark Falco.

    Does anyone else blame Bassett for everything that went wrong in the first post-GT era?

    Angella is a good footballer but an awful defender as he doesn't concentrate.

    Maybe his lack of ability on the ball maybe the reason if there is any truth in this rumour which I doubt

    2 minutes into the game vs Palace, he tried to pass the ball back to his keeper but it was too soft and he slipped allowing a clear one on one for the Palace player to score. It basically doomed them as they got relegated

    Would be gutted if he left. Easily our best defender. For £4m I doubt that we could get many other players who are just as good. Didn't think he was dreadful with the ball either- and I'd much rather have a centre back who can defend properly than one who can't but can pick out a cross field ball and do roulettes near his own box

    Can't believe he is not even in our starting 11 he is miles better than kaboul, even non Watford fans i have spoken to can see he is our best defender. Would be stupid to sell him.

    Read an interesting POV saying he's very good in a back 3, very average in a back 2. Dunno if I agree completely but he was certainly much better in the back 3 last year.
