I think that may have been the plan. Rather than bring in a CB to replace Jobe, we would shift Andrew to LCB and bring a new wing back in.

Other than a striker I'd say it's most needy as it allows Andrew to play LCB which solves a problem there. Brophy you only really want to play there when chasing a game and you'd also want to choose between Bennett and Gibbons on the right, not be forced to have one on the left. Exactly. And we seem to be primarily considering Brophy as an option for variety, pressing & ball-carrying in the central 3

Ashley Phillips or James Golding perhaps?

Should always have two dedicated fullbacks on either side as far as I'm concerned. Then third choice can be cover from elsewhere.
Left - Andrew Right - Bennett, Gibbons
Definitely need another left back urgently, especially is Andrew plays some CB in a 3.
Oh and I don't want to see Gibbons anywhere near left back this season. OK defensively but we created precisely 0 on that side when he was there last season. See also: Trippier at the Euros.

As would I. Doesn't seem likely given what he did at Plymouth last year but you never know I guess. And we do have a decent relationship with Spurs.

No it’s a 19 year-old youth international who had some previous L1 and L2 experience before signing for a championship club where he’s struggled to get much of a look in so far.

I've looked through every possibility matching the criteria stated here and only one name really fits the bill. CHOMP: Connor O'Riordan. Irish youth international, played for Crewe in League One and Two before moving to Blackburn a year ago but only made a couple of appearances. 6'4" and strong. Do I win?
