Centre back options

From what I've seen he's very comfortable and good the ball, but what I haven't seen is if his size makes him vulnerable to small agile players on weaving runs, the way Mangala is.

I think Jonathan Tah is even more highly rated in Germany, and he's a year younger but already leapfrogged Süle into the German senior team. He's 6'4 and still a unit, but seems more graceful in the way he moves.

The thing with both of these two is we'd probably get both for the price of VVD, and assuming we are even looking for a new CB, it's going to be a choice between potential or immediate impact again.
It has to be immediate impact,Tosin and others in the academy will do for potential.
 
Is that just a guess or have you heard something Ric?

Süle and Jonathan Tah are two I've been wondering about because they're very promising, bloody massive (Pep seems to be concerned about size recently), and Pep would have seen them in Germany.

Apparently we've been scouting him. Whether or not anything comes of it is another matter.

So much for that, he's just agreed to sign for Bayern for €25m in the summer according to reports in Germany.
 
Is he as highly rated as Mangala was? ;-)
I still think Mangala looked no worse than anyone else in that Pellegrini defence by and large. None of them stood a chance of looking like high class defenders and people forget that even Kompany went through a spell of looking like an absolute chump in the 14/15 season. Reckon we should have kept him this season and at least have given him a chance to show what he could do under a different manager. He is at least fairly quick and strong, doubt he would have been bullied by Costa like Otamendi was the other week.
