Van Dijk or someone similar has to be signed if Kompany is done. How easy was it for Lukaku today? Or Costa? And probably multiple other big men. You need at least one big defender for situations like this. Unless you can get Stones in the gym then sign a fucking big CB with decent ball control.

Whoever we get, we're going to end up paying way over the odds. If we genuinely think he's up to the job then just get it done. It's going to be something stupid like 50 or 60 million but is that really any worse than signing a succession of players at 20 or 30m that simply aren't up to the job?

Just get him in. 50-60m whatever it takes. There's not that many options in the mainstream market anyway unless we scout a Cafu in South America or the Christmas islands.

Should have been obvious with Kompany's historical injuries we should have pulled the trigger with Bonucci regardless of age. We need some leadership & experience at the back which has been sorely lacking right from the beginning of the season.
Or as Robbie Earl mentioned after the game if Pep is intent in playing this way from the back go out & buy 3 other John Stones type defenders who are comfortable with the ball rather than trying to fit square pegs in round holes with Otamendi, Sagna etc. This defense isn't working!

I remember when he first get mentioned here in Bluemoon, many underestimated him because was playing in a weak league as they say !
He's a leader too and we desperately need some forceful characters, without Vinnie we're lacking....

Not having a pop to name Bony in your argument is wrong. Why was he a risk?
