Totally agree. I find it crazy that anyone would suggest going into next season without another top class CB. We've already seen what a a long-term injury to Laporte can do to us and it would be a madness to risk it happening again.

Got to wonder if some of these posters on here claiming that we don’t need a new centre back have watched some of our defending this season. Another season of Stones/Otamendi/Fern/Garcia would mean no title again.

Our defenders might be enough to beat most PL sides, but we want to attack titles and in big games defensive stability against top players is key. Not signing a top CB would be another gamble.
I think we've had our lesson.

Fair point. I still want him too.Relying on Laporte not breaking down all season would be fucking nuts. We need a centre back, there’s no doubt about it. Garcia should be the first choice back up with either Stones or Fern behind him.
Sane people that say mendy is good enough to be our left back . One good game doesn’t make a season . On another point can’t believe how weak we are up front as if kun gets injured all we have is Jesus. A lot of people will not agree but I think you need 3 top quality strikers to complete in a season where as we have one elite and one good striker .Got to wonder if some of these posters on here claiming that we don’t need a new centre back have watched some of our defending this season. Another season of Stones/Otamendi/Fern/Garcia would mean no title again.
We cannot go into next season without another world class defender mate . It would be suicidal.I still want him, but as games go by, I'm kind of less and less convinced he is absolutely necessary.
Eric isn't perfect by any means, but he is doing quite well, and I am (maybe naively) assuming he can only get better.
Tosin is doing quite well at Rovers, even when they lose their fans say he is just better than everybody else and wins so many aerial duels (I mean just look at how tall he is).
If we keep Stones and sell Otamendi, then if we have:
Laporte, Stones/Eric, Tosin, Dinho, Bellis <--- In this order of 1st choice to 5th choice, I'm not that mad about it.
If Stones and Otamendi are both sold then for sure I want a signing, but I don't think we off load both.
Still want Koulibaly mind you, just wouldn't be all that mad if we didn't get him.
