Centre back options

Kolasinac could be an opinion has 6 months left on his contract is primarily a left back but can play CB as well he is still young around 23/24. In my opinion he is a good pep style defender decent on the ball and able to cover a number of positions.

Thought he was off to Juve on a free in the summer?

Could be but didn't think it was finalised yet he will plenty of opinions though. Speaking of juve is Martin caceres still available on a free? Knows pep can play a number of positions could be a decent short term answer.

Schalke left-back Sead Kolašinac has said no to AC Milan, Manchester City and Liverpool in recent days. He only wants Juventus. [Tuttosport]

Good. Don't want him. Let's take the Brazilian off Juve instead.
 
It would. Even when fit we are not particularly different. He isn't often, but when fit he is a shell of the WC defender he once was.

He hasn't been fit and thus you have no basis to even make that argument. We have no idea if a fit Kompany is anywhere near as good as he once was.
 
VVD would be decent but if we want a CB now then just pay the laporte release clause? around the same money as VVD I think and its obvious pep favours laporte?

You'd have to presume Sandro would be on his way...which is odd as he's the better player. One of the most creative players in Europe in terms of chances created
 
The rags have 'decided against' signing Fonte, according to the media. Which usually means he is going to one of the teams they consider rivals but don't want to appear inferior to.

But Southampton players normally sign for Liverpool, so it could be that.

Unlikely he's asked for a transfer without having a potential move lined up though. It would tick the boxes as an older, short term player to stiffen up the squad whilst transitioning to a younger defence.

Shaw? Schneiderlin? 55m of rag money to Southampton in the last couple of years.

More likely than not, it's the Rag old head who is getting moved on.
 
Of course, forgot about Evra but would Kolasinac go as back up?
Not really, he goes to compete. Hell probably lose and share. Just like Sandro shared with Evra last season.

Besides his versatility suggest he might get time at LCB in a 3 CB formation.

There would be enough opportunities and Kolasinac is not of the caliber to demand a starting spot. That is probably reserved for Alaba, Marcelo, and maybe Alba. I doubt there are any other LBs in the world who could demand starting if they moved.
 
Well according to the stats Otamendi is the best Centre Half in the League, But he is clearly a doer and not a leader. My only issue is his going to ground and he really has stopped doing this a lot.
John Stones can play as a 2nd Centre Half or as a DM (for the formation switches that Pep Likes). Kompany will only ever be a reserve CH/RB/DM for us as far as I can see.
That means we need One Centre Half and that is Virgil Van Dijk. He was sublime against Liverpool last night in the LC Semi Final 1st Leg. Premier League experience is vital so, for me, we break the bank. Both Van Dijk and Otamendi would be a wall of death for the opposition to break down.
