Better Options at Centre Back?

Souttar is the obvious one. Like Paterson, he's not ready, but we need to take a risk in that area so he has a better chance of being ready when we next have meaningful qualifiers to play.

Hanley is here to stay, loathe him or not. TBF, I think his lack of club action is just highlighting his weaknesses - he's a bit better than he's shown in these last few games.

So, brace yourselves, cos Souttar and Hanley is the CB pairing that might see us through the next 10 years

Never seen him play but Leeds vice captain Liam Cooper. Surely worth giving him a shot? Don't imagine it can get worse than Hanley.

This. Bizarre hes never had more than the one chance. Despite my reservations around Souttar as a defender, giving him and Cooper a run of games together to see how it goes can't do any harm really.

Surely some combination of Kingsley, Martin, Greer, Berra, Cooper, Caulker or Mulgrew is better than anything consisting of a bench-warming Grant Hanley? Strachan is so set in his "club mentality" he's not even willing to try find out.

Hanley is an odd one. Since his talents have been recognised with a move, he seems to have regressed significantly. He was a pretty good player for us not too long ago.

Would like Blackburn to take him back ASAP.

Play like Wales do and play Tierney inside Robertson as a third cb but let Robertson concentrate on attacking more. 

 

Wales play Davies/Taylor beside each other and compliment each other well.

I thought Ash Taylor could only play for England or Wales just now?

No Scotland too but he is an utter bombscare.

The list of potential defenders in the Scottish Leagues is hilarious. Not one of them worth over 50k in transfer value.

Zak Jules - Reading

Steven Caulker - QPR

Alex Davey - Crawley Town (Loan with Chelsea)

Cameron Burgess - Oldham Athetlic (Loan with Fulham)

and how sad all of them are English or have chosen to represent Australia :(

Serious question – Caulker has a cap for England so how come people keep suggesting him for Scotland?

It was only in a friendly. Friendlies don't count as being locked down to a national team.  Only once you've played competitively for them.

See Diego Costa playing for Brazil as another example.

Thanks for that, it makes sense now. Caulker's not a bad player but there's no point if he's not keen.
