It's obviously subjective as to who is 'better', but only one of them was in the Championship team of the season for last season, and it wasn't Dael.
So a bench warmer then.Lots of chat on Spurs Twitter that he's a target for them as a replacement for Rodon
Might aswell stay hereSo a bench warmer then.
It’s a very strong area for us and there is gonna be a couple of ***ed off ladsI will tell you what, if we sign a strong LCB on top of Fry, Lenihan, Dijksteel, McNair and Bola and keep hold of them we will have an extremely strong Championship defence.
Wouldn't it be nice to have any similar debate in midfield, or any debate at all up front.
I don't know what his first choice back 3 would be, but I can't see Lenihan coming without playing guarantee, or Fry, McNair or Dijksteel reacting well to being on the bench. It is not like strikers, you don't play 4 over the course of a match.
I don;t think I could take another protracted Spurs transferSo a bench warmer then.
It’s mad, we ain’t been linked with a midfielder or LCB for a while. Of course we were linked with Mooy but he went to Celtic like the day afterGot a feeling McNair will be more of a midfielder this season, or certainly until we sign one or two. We are already light there having lost Payero, and there’s a possibility Tav could leave too. We aren’t even linked with anyone.
Lenihan will be the centre back, what we have seen at Blackburn and so far in pre season he is everything needed. Leader, brilliant in the air and a top player with the ball. Ideally you would have Dijksteel and McNair battling it out for RCB and we would sign a LCB specialist. Until then I would say McNair and Fry will compete for the LCB role and Dijksteel will play RCB. It’s going to be tough for FryI would be loathed to drop fry, mcnair or dijksteel would get the hook before fry.
Are you saying we have Lenihan in the centre and Fry Mcnaiar and dijksteel all vying for their prefered side as ther right sided centreback, and no naturally left sideded central defender,
in what order would you say they are in terms of capability as the left sided centre back , can mcnair not play there or lenihan if not fry
Obviously the bonus for Fry for now is McNair is suspended for first game so he’s a guaranteed starter and it’s Upto him to keep the shirtLenihan will be the centre back, what we have seen at Blackburn and so far in pre season he is everything needed. Leader, brilliant in the air and a top player with the ball. Ideally you would have Dijksteel and McNair battling it out for RCB and we would sign a LCB specialist.

Can’t see Fry being RCB. Wilder has already stated Dijksteel and McNair will fight that position outWe do seem to have 1 more RCB than we need. After Friday Lenihan plays CB for me. Fry is RCB and with Lenihan next to him he will only get better. Would prefer a left footed LCB but if we dont get one then Dijk and Paddy can fight it out and cover for the others if injured.
Re Paddy, surely people remember what a dysfunctional midfield we had when Paddy and Howson played together. It wasn’t that long ago. Our forwards struggle enough without cutting off more of the supply line
