Centre back options

Van Dijk would be perfect for this team. The more I watch him the more convinced I am.

Daily Star Sunday reporting we are interested at around £30m. We should be. The most obvious like for like replacement we would find, and already proven premier league quality. Should compliment Stones perfectly hope it happens.

van Dijk would be pretty much perfect, unless the price is astronomical (which I doubt).

 

[Neville Kneville]

We will get linked with him whether we are interested or not.

Papers see Kompany injured & off they go. He's the most 'available' decent cb so he's bound to be linked.

Tbh I haven't watched enough of VVD to know, how is his passing?

A few knocking about but i'd go for Fonte and give Arobiyo (sp) more 1st team games.

Listening to Peps comments yesterday, about needing to get used to teams launching high balls into our box. I wonder if he has modified his views on the type of centre back we need. He will still want some playing out ability, but maybe he realises we will also need somebody to help defend these long ball onslaughts at the end of games.
Noticed an increase in short corners as well as we only have Otamendi and Stones to aim at neither of which are scorers.

Ah jaysus that wasn't even close buddy :-)

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Anyone know if VVD is eligible to play for us in the Champions League or does his Europa League involvment preclude him?

Not sure, but I can't imagine it's bad given how comfortable he is in possession, plus he's a big fucker, which is something we desperately need at the back, and Premiership hardened. I'd buy him happily
