Wasn't a problem for Cahill all season....But would it work playing a right footer as left centre back in a 3? They spend a lot of time out wide, particularly in the build up. We'd have to play Kolarov there. Or see if Mendy could do it... But then we'd have to play Kolarov as left wing back. Playing someone like Sané there would see him be too deep too often.

Don't rate him,I would be pissed if we got him.

Saints fans joked last season that he was their best defender, midfielder and striker.

I think the story has serious merit, purely because both Joyce and Jacobs are behind it. Van Dijk would be phenomenal.

Yeah, fair enough. I guess it depends on the individual. Some seem uncomfortable out there, others look fine.Wasn't a problem for Cahill all season....

We were in talks with Celtic to buy him before he went to Saints, ridiculous we didn't conclude the deal at that time but hey ho that's city for you - why buy at £13mil when you can wait a couple of years and pay £50mil, lol.Saints fans joked last season that he was their best defender, midfielder and striker.
Well I hope it is true. If we're going for a foreign keeper it reduces the risk to go for an English based central defender, and he looks like the best available. Good age too.
Imagine if we get the full backs we've been linked with, Van Dijk, Ederson and Silva, and add to a settled Sane and Jesus!
I can see an auction for Van Dijk. Chelsea, maybe Utd, Liverpool too

lol dippers in meltdown, wonderful.
He's an amazing CB, often cited as the best in the league, and would make an ideal partner to John (he can play on left despite being right footed) in the long term.
Not sure how much there is to this rumour, but we're definitely getting a CB and this is the kind of standard we need to be looking at.
