Just wondering who we are likely to go for instead of VVD now?
De Vrij, Nastasic, Keane, Tah, Sule, Christiansen?
A lot of talent there but I'd be hoping for someone proven in Champs League.
Koubaily, Verane, Marquinos, Giminez.

Any ideas on who we will go for?

Gibson.

Verane who just won the champions league with Madrid? Yeah he'll probably wanna come.

Joe Gomez.

Nastasic is poor in the air, as is DeVrij and Marquinhos. Sule has joined Bayern. Verane is a non starter and Ed001 said Koulibaly is a donkey. As are Keane and Maguire. Our owners want to do it on the cheap, so draw your own conclusions.

Well Spa, De Vrij has been approached. Sule is off to Bayern. As for the rest, they are either not for sale (Marquinhos, Khoulbaly or Varane) and the others, I don't know.

Doesn't matter if De Vrij isn't as strong as Matip in the air, he's a ball playing centre back and is a great deal if we can get him for 25 mil euros.

Oh yeah. Gibson, he's the standard that we go for. Mediocre. This is probably the one time that I hope an owner says he won't deal with us.

How bout we try and see what kind of chemistry Matip and Louvren develop, I really feel they could become quite good. And if it's not working look in January.

{Ed025's Note - the only problem with that 420 is that you could be out of the CL and too far back in the league when you decide its not working mate..

Ed002, did you find out of the interest/ bid for Di Vrij was true or not mate please? Would make some sense after todays news.

{Ed002's Note - I am travelling at present.}

Centre back is not a priority. Fullbacks and a winger are.
