    Him and Kolo will be a joy to watch together. It may have taken us a while, but we've not done too badly replacing Virgil and Denayer :smiley-laughing002:

    Can't wait until he's back. Him and Kolo will be solid as *. Lustig and Tierney either side and the defence, on paper, looks very good.

    Different type of pairing but potentially more solid, definitely more experienced and I'd say with greater leadership between the pair.

    All of a sudden we have pretty good options at CB, when the players are all fit. Can't wait till he gets back. Huge player for us already.

    Ive always thought he was wee tbh, he looks 6ft 1 at best maybe just under that. Toure is also quite a small centre-back probably about 6ft 1 at best as well.

    Quite worrying if Lustig and Bitton are missing that our team would be something like Janko, Sviatchenko, Toure, Tierney, Brown, Johansen/Armstrong/McGregor/Roberts/Griffiths/Dembele. Team would be an average height of about 5ft 10. :smiley-laughing002:

    Some difference to when Lennon had Lustig, Ambrose, K.Wilson, Mulgrew, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras when we regularly fielded a team of 5/6 6ft+ players and that team had big Forster in goals who was much more imposing than Gordon.

    It is for a centre-half. Toure and Sviatchenko are both probably 2/3 inches smaller than the average centre-half. Griffiths would probably compete very well in tha air against teams with centre-backs that small but usually he plays against teams with 2 guys 6ft 2+ and doesnt really get a look in at long balls.

    If they both play in a partnership as you'd think unless we play 3 at the back we'll probably have one of the smallest pairings in Europe.
