I get the point that our targets might not be available and if that is the case then we should keep our powder dry till the summer. It's the fact that it's being suggested that John Stones who I love as a player is being reported as playing there potentially. Aside from the fact he is injury prone, the last time we saw him there was Villa away last year and he was dreadful. Massive difference from playing as a midfielder and being asked to bring the ball out as a defender into midfield. As for Akanji I've never seen anything in his game that even points to him being able to play there. If we are sticking with what we have, he needs to bite the bullet and use O'Reilly or Wright and they'll either sink or swim, but they can't do any worse than what we saw in Paris or two CBs in there surely?Lots of posters seem to find it difficult to understand , but seems simple to me.Its quite likely the players we want as an 6/8 that are anywhere near good enough are vital to their teams whether in the CL, trying to be in the CL, or going for titles. Financially it makes no sense for them to sell now when they can use the player and probably sell for much the same fee in the summer.
Release clauses are an option but not sure any of those we may want with clause seem keen to move in January, if they were we’d probably have triggered one.
