Batth isn't good enough to be a starter but the odd game as cover he will be fine. Slower and shitter CB's have somehow managed to survive in the Prem.
Not sure that £20m plus for a 29 year old is actually that wise for us just now in our development.
If that happened we would be in the middle of a defensive injury crisis.If Batth were to play he'd have to be the middle of the 3. Bennett on the right with Doherty in front at PL level worries me, Batth and Doherty is the stuff of nightmares

As things stand we are arguably one injury to Coady away from him starting in the middle and if Nuno doesn't move Boly over one to Bennett aswell. I think after letting Miranda go we'll bring someone in as we will in CM and RWB. Giles and Vinagre will likely back up Douglas and I think Jimenez will have some sort of assurance before signing that he'll be first choice at least to begin with.If that happened we would be in the middle of a defensive injury crisis.
He'd play it in a different way to Coady, just be required to head it and kick it and obviously we'd be poorer for it. Nuno won't go 442 and I don't want to see Batth on the pitch this season for a game that doesn't have Cup in it. Just saying he'd be a bombscare on the right, but in the centre you could hide him a bit more with our style. Before this goes the way of the Doherty discussion I DO NOT WANT TO SEE BATTH PLAY IN THE CENTRE THIS SEASON. [emoji38]No, no, no, no, no, no and no again.
Batth could not play the role. If Batth were the only option we'd be better going 4 at the back. There is no way Batth could play in the middle, just no

Would rather play Boly in the middle than Batth - Hause can play out on the left
Diminishes us, but better that that than playing Batth there
5 x pages about whether Doc is good enough and then you throw this out there about Batth!
FFS Stu. Remove yourself!
