I shudder every time I read that - haven't we been there done that - admittedly with players inferior to North, Durante and ....... Three at the back (which is actually 5 a lot of the time) may be fine when you are up against teams who are quicker and more skillful and you are looking to shore up the defences and score with long balls to the likes of Fallon........ Not sure how it would work when you have your fair share of possession and want to dominate a game going forward - anyway Herbert is paid to figure that out.
 
Just deeply scared from our season one 3 at the back disaster.
 
Anyway - on thread topic - one of the best ways to suss out prospective transfer targets would seem to be current club fan forums - a quick glance of Adelaide's fans forum would have spared us from wasting 2 years and an import spot on Diego.
 
I haven't looked at the fans forums for the latest rumoured targets but if anyone has I'd be interested in what the fans are saying.
