All valid points.

I’m not saying he’s shit, or that there’s no need at all to refresh at CB - just that given the outlay we’ll be committing to cover two full backs, two or potentially even three midfielders and in all likelihood a keeper as well - spending £70m on another CB when we’ve got nine already is unlikely to be seen as a priority.

That’s one for next summer, not this.

In my view.
Not going to knock your view, but that is nine CB`s that covered 4 positions, and as stated with obvious failings, i am not a believer that we need 2 full backs, as Nunes is a better RB than any linked to us, Livramento full of mistakes and injuries, Cambiaso another Zinchenko, and Wesley a twin of Vanderson, none actually improve us. So my view is a LB and a CB in his prime that will not be available next year.

Gotta be a troll account? I’ve seen some of your posts and they are so wrong it makes me wonder.
Vanderson would definitely improve any team in this world that doesn’t have Hakimi.
Livramento is not Full of mistakes. But yeah we need to lose at least 2 CB to bring in 2 FB.
 
30 years ?

So no fullbacks ?
Yes Stones, Ake and Akanji`s age adds up to over 90 they are all past their best and injury prone, but you can not just kick them out. the three CB signed in january adds up to under 60 none of them have enough experience.
You did see i want a LB and have done for years, Cancelo and Zinchenko doing great jobs for us, but all the others rubbish, as for RB i think Nunes is getting better and better at the job, so if we buy a RB we will end up paying a wage to a midfielder we can not use.
 
Braithwaite needs to be dias replacement in the long term seeing as ake stones and akanji will also be leaving over the next year I'd hope this lad is top of the list to come in.
Braithwaite
Gvardiol
Khusanov

Would give us 3 cbs for the next 8-10 years

pep wont play two left footers in the pairing, wont be a Dias replacement.

But they didn’t really cover four positions though, did they?

RB was either Nunes or Lewis for most of the season, neither of whom are included in the nine - and Gvardiol was rotating with O’Reilly at LB towards the end, who isn’t either.

So let’s say one of our nine CB’s will be covering LB - that still leaves eight for two positions.

In my view, it would need to be someone genuinely exceptional to warrant us adding to that group when we’ve got priorities elsewhere.

And Branthwaite simply doesn’t fall into that category for me.

Add to that I’m really not convinced another CB who’s missed a lot of games through injury is what we need.

Played over 30 full 90 minutes since he got surgery on his groin issue, which bodes well. Still think this would be a 75m deal at best without some sort of loan deal in the mix for whoever. Big outlay, but he's probably my fav of the young (u21s) HG, LCBs around right now.

You have a very odd view of maths.

You said 30 year gap implying they are 30 years older than of example Bah

Your now saying there age adds up to 90 over years older but whoever comes in is only replacing one of them
 
He's never had a problem playing 2 right footed cbs so don't think it will be an issue if its what's best for the team.
He avoids it if he can in a four, fully expect this will be the Ake replacement, on the very slim chance we move for him if anything.. Dias/Khus to cover the right

Vanderson has been available for the past year, prices between £50 million and £30 million, no one has touched him, Livramento is full of mistakes, that is one of the reasons he can not push Trippier out.
must admit i am fascinated to find out your method of moving on 2 CB, does it involve a magic wand.

This is wrong, he started 21 of 24 games at RB before he moved to cover LB when Hall got injured.
