Marcus Thuram is out of contract in summer so should available at a rather low cost
And can play wide and CFMarcus Thuram is out of contract in summer so should available at a rather low cost
How about Fikayo Tomori, Sven Botman. Gvardiol.
We were ready to spend big on Bastoni, so although these players would be expensive, you never know. All pretty young so the concern is how they settle. But if good enough, that shouldn’t be a concern. The better the player the easier it is to hit the ground running.
You think Saudi Sportswashing Outfit will sell botman? Gvardiol might already be out of reach, city and madrid sniffing. Tomori maybe. Is he an upgrade though?
Don't get me wrong, good names and a calibre we should be looking at. The first 2, think the boat might have already sailed.
Skriniar, de virj, Ndicka, badiashile, torres... other names. I really don't watch enough of them to say if they'd be good or not.
Botman would have to want to come and push for the move, which granted isn't that likely. CL, and if Conte went all out for him...
De Virj seems the easiest and he'll know the Conte way. Makes sense for a Jan move.
De Virj and the English lad at Palace Ghuei? Not sure how you spell it. But he always looked good to me.
De Vrij is just Dier but olderGood call. Botman is the tallest. But De Virj not that much shorter. Less dominant than Botman and getting on a bit? Would still be a much-needed reinforcement.
I feel like we need one 'monster' CB, who can dominate in the air.
De Vrij is just Dier but older
We need younger more energetic players
No I’d rather wait for something betterAgreed. But on his day Dier is awesome. So if it was De Vrij or nothing, you'd take him right? Taller than Dier, has a lot of experience and knows what Conte demands.
No I’d rather wait for something better
He would want big wages and isn’t an upgrade
We need better than we have not parity
Davies is fineAn upgrade on Davies and Sanchez is arguably worth 6+ points a season. How many goals have we been shipping on average since Romero was out?
I agree an allround fast, big, strong commanding CB in their 20s is the aim. But you never know how things will shake down, De Vrij might excel. Something to be said for experienced players.
Davies is fine
The goals have come down out centre and right
We have players who have got worse the more games they have played
I agree. Davies has done very little wrong in the past 12 months imo. Not sure why he keeps getting thrown in with the others targeted for criticism.
We should always try to upgrade for sureDavies has been very good. Doesn't mean we can't upgrade though.
We should always try to upgrade for sure
But right now the right and centre looks like the area with the issues
