New CB

[MACCA75]

Ideally someone who can play left back and central defence. Can't see us paying big money here though, so more a squad player than first choice.

I'd give Holgate a try personally. He's looked good but doesn't seem to be a natural fullback, I'd like to see him get a chance at CB. No point having all these young gems if we don't give them a chance when the opportunity arises.

There's a difference between giving them a chance and having to rely on them. The vast majority of young players aren't good enough. If we are genuinely trying to improve then we can't be relying on them.

Was gonna suggest Hector Moreno, didn't realise he had just signed for Roma!

 

[Nymzee]

Only Gibson is left footed isn't he?

Think its important?

Mawsons reputation is increasing hugely and Gibson seems interesting and a typical English defender.

Prefer them left-footed but not a deal breaker otherwise it'd rule out 90% of our targets.

 

[Nymzee]

Malang Sarr we were linked with is left-footed and can play both CB and LB?

 

[lancs blue]

Caulker

 

[Nymzee]

List of targets I'd like that will make Zat cream. Just please, please don't let us start with the fat biffs next to Keane:

Gibson
Lemos
Sarr
Diop
Heintz
Soyuncu
Conti
Boscagli (cheap preference)
Riedewald
Mawson
Gnagnon
Orban
Jullien
Dunk
Jansson

 

[Carlito]

Could do with another centre back coming in regardless.

Jagielka is going to completely Weir off a cliff any day now, Williams is a cart horse and Mori and Pennington are garbage.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Palace in for indi may mean riedewald is closer?

 

[devogue]

I think we must be signing Riedewald if Palce are now looking at Indis

 

[Nymzee]

They need more than one defender.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Daly Blind would be perfect.

Inigo Martinez at Real Sociedad: left footed, good age, played at a good pedigree and has a £27 million release clause apparently. Article above says City want him which I highly doubt Any La Liga buffs on here rate this guy at all?

Remember, yesterday I mentioned a talismanic forward that i'd like to see? I feel the same about my centre backs and the pairings...

It would be nice if we could have both first choice England centre backs....other than Stones, who is there;
Gibson -- I don't know enough about him? Whats the difference between him and Keane?
Mawson -- Same as above

Ball players
Van Dijk
Lemos -- Mini Van Dijk

Beasts
Koulibaly
Sanchez -- Mini Koulibaly

Young players
Diop -- He should be signed as left sided cover or do an onyekuru...going to be a star.
Sarr -- If we were to bring one, we should sign both...Sarr for LB.

Left Field
Gimenez -- Atletico cant buy players but he has only a year on his contract?

Confuses me how you know more about foreign kids than PL players, Zat.

Sarr isn't a left-back and never will be I know that for a fact; however his teammate Boscagli plays left-back for the French youth sides and he surprised me how good he is on the ball.
