Oh yh 100%. More than likely for now though they'd take 3rd choice CB role. Gives them more incentive to perform well when they come in, which is always good.
Agreed mate.

That’s sounds like Pep has been on the phone to him.
If so it looks like we are looking in the quality range needed.
Only problem is, with a world cup next summer, the top defenders might not want to join unless guaranteed a starting position....as Koulibaly agent mentions above...we looking for a backup for Kompany and not a starter. This might put off a few players and limit who we can buy.

Does anyone seriously believe now we are looking for a backup for Kompany ? More like a replacement Pep’s said he can’t rely on Kompany so probably more likely to battle Otamendi and Stones or play in a three.Only problem is, with a world cup next summer, the top defenders might not want to join unless guaranteed a starting position....as Koulibaly agent mentions above...we looking for a backup for Kompany and not a starter.

Iñigo would be a good signing at a reasonable price. £60m for Umtiti would be a snip tbh, would turn into the best CB in the world under Pep I reckon. Stones-Umtiti to lead us to back-to-back Champions Leagues :)

It wouldn't surprise me if Kompany retires at the end of the season.Does anyone seriously believe now we are looking for a backup for Kompany ? More like a replacement Pep’s said he can’t rely on Kompany so probably more likely to battle Otamendi and Stones or play in a three.

Oh wow, he has a release clause? Can’t see him really wanting to leave Barca, where he’s first choice CB, going to win the league and has a great chance of winning the CL. But if he wants to pack up and come to the rainy North, I’d be more than happy.Iñigo would be a good signing at a reasonable price. £60m for Umtiti would be a snip tbh, would turn into the best CB in the world under Pep I reckon.

Believe his release clause is £53m or somewhere around that €60m, I’ve not seen much of Barca / Umtiti but does seem like he is having some contract issues. Not sure he’d leave.
You were saying :)Their was a poster or two here in the summer saying Bonucci was not all that good and was over hyped looks like he was spot on. Credit to him.
Bonucci has flopped big time at Milan and would do even worse if he came to the PL. That ship has sailed IMO
Nah! He us probably worth about 30 million now.Frankie De jong, played 5 games as DM 4 games as CB.
The problem is that he just renewed his contract, but if the club is willing to spend 30m on JE then FDJ is worth 90m.

The sad thing is that Pep chased JE the whole summer when Maguire was available for 17m !
My #1 choice.

What about Jonathan Tah? Looks very impressive also de ligt of Ajax? Both look amazing and will be happy as 3rd cb pushing for 1st team.

Umtiti is absolutely wank.
I suggest we look at a loan rather than a buy and sort things properly in the summer.
As it goes, I like Tarkowski (Burnley) and although I think he’s a **** there’s no way David Luiz wouldn’t be absolutely immense in our side. Suits us to a fucking tee and can also play CDM so ticks two boxes.
Agree about Umtiti.
Initially with Luiz I thought no way, as he can be an accident waiting to happen, but thinking it through, about how Pep sets them up, and likes ball playing defenders, I think he'd actually be a fantastic signing for us, you're right! Out of favour at Chelsea too. Proven winner, good on set pieces, crazy retro hair, what's not to like!
David Luiz for about £30m - get it done Txiki!

Maguire is bang average, no better than Mangala and certainly no better than Johnny Evans. Not that I want us to sign Evans, far from it.The sad thing is that Pep chased JE the whole summer when Maguire was available for 17m !
Fingers crossed we sign someone better than both of them.

Not watched him this season but apparently not getting game time. Don’t think he has a future here though after that fight in summer and him rejecting various loan moves the club lined up.

Just signed a new deal, Ajax wouldn't pick up the phone for 30mm

Seems to have had a torrid time in Istanbul and is reputedly heading back to Antwerp.
