Centre back options

[Tugay One Cup]

Hopefully this is bullshit just like the rumoured Navas extension was. Mangala's shite and finding a new centre back should have a been a priority over chasing Sanchez and Mbappe.

 

[Kompany is King]

Could Danilo play centre half?

Let's get the lad bought then Txixi you lazy swine

He's not gonna leave now said it multiple times he wants to be the best he can be with Ajax first.

What is the situation with Hernandez at Athletico, have we got a definite agreement for a xfer when there ban is lifted?

 

[Andrew___K]

Could Danilo play centre half?

While at Madrid, he couldn't defend well even as a fullback, positioning is his obvious weak point. So, right now - no.
But it's coachable, see what Pep did with Abidal. Turned unreliable fullback into a brilliant LCB/LB in just 2 years.

Davinson Sanchez at Ajax before Levy gets his hands on him. Young and looks real quality

Such a ringing endorsement.......!

:) I try

 

[Dax777]

Thing is centre back is two or three positions, if we play a back three and Kompany gets injured, (or either of the others) Fourth choice becomes 1st choice

I get that. I think Dihno will be ahead of him in a 3 CB formation. In a back 4, in okay with him being the sub that comes in to shore up a game.

Ben Gibson for me

hmm, maybe it all depends on our forward deals...how much we can afford on a CB
