Jules Koundé

Good player, but we are well covered in the cb dept
Not for long. Don’t think Laporte and Ake are going to be here much longer, particularly if Stones now nails down the spot next to Dias. But we’d be needing a left footer desperately and we’ll end up with Pau Torres who I don’t rate at all.

I suspect you’re right - I’d imagine both Laporte and Ake will be off in the summer, and Torres looks the most likely replacement.

Which is a shame, as two of our most promising CB prospects - Luke Mbete and Callum Doyle - are left footers, but next season would be too soon for them to step in.
 
Where did these links for us start back up? only seen Chelsea for this lad.
 
Once is enough. He’s not off the radar because we signed another. If we need another CB, we already know he’s on the list, especially as he’s still at Sevilla
So no links/stories have started back up. we're guesing over a two year old link.
 
Reckon we'll bring one in, tops, whether Pau or Kounde or other. Few academy lads that can serve as the 4th choice, depending on how they mature. Mbete, Bellis, Callum Doyle (who's looked superb for Sunderland), Burns.

Burns is out of contract this summer. Mbete or Doyle would be ideally suited for the LCB role.

Denayer is available for free this summer. Absolute no brainer to bring him back to the club as third choice if Laporte and Ake both move.

He's been great at Lyon, would add another academy player to the ranks and would very much fill the void as a 'third choice', rather than going and buying another starting quality CB who will kick up a fuss when he's benched by Dias and Stones.
 
We should be doing everything within our power to make sure Laporte & Ake don’t move on as opposed to looking for replacements.

A CB would just be an unwelcome addition to the list of key positions we need to fill next year. Getting a striker, Rodri backup & Mendy replacement is tough enough for one window.

I would think Denayer would not want to come anywhere near us the way he was treated in the past.
