Whoever we buy should be Virgils long term partner ideally.

While that would be ideal clubs know we need a cb and ASAP so they will overcharge big time. Koulibaly would be an excellent partner but he's very expensive and it will probably not happen. Those two together would be a shut gate. 

[TheHowieLama]

I have no idea who it is but for me the ideal guy is between Gomez and VvD agewise.

PL defenders worth taking a punt on: Mings, Konsa, Soyuncu, Tomori.

Not Wesley Fofana?

I thought of him as well. Fell out with Fwank at the start of the season but a bit more in favour again now.

 

Personally, if we were going to try and sign anybody in the summer, whoever it is, we should try and move it forward to January.

The long term view goes out the window when you're trying to win everything and you have no CB's. Just find a way to get one of these targets we've been looking at. Not you specifically, but in general I've seen people say we'll be desperate, it will be hard, no one will want to sell, the club doesn't do short term thinking, to argue we won't sign anyone. In this instance, it's all nonsense. There's always a way. Just get it done. 

Yup.

They've dropped thiago Silva I think as part of lampards temper tantrum after the arsenal game

I think our problems are such "ideal" could be what makes it tough. One way or another I imagine we'll need to compromise if we want the deal done in this window.

I know everyone hates Fwank, but he did do one good thing - pinning that unfunny twat, Alan (I hate Scousers) Davies up against the wall and telling him to "call me Fat Fwank nah, ya cant" (or some such language), and making the phoney, estuary English, wanker piss himself.

Alan Davies is as funny as syphilis.

[Jairzinho]

Alan Davies is a horrible snide fucking cunt.

Yes, he dropped Zouma as well

Lots of talk today about Covid disrupting the season.  Wouldn't surprise me if it spooks FSG into not spending, paying big money for a player who might end up sitting at home.

Covid, realistically, has spooked virtually nobody out of spending.

Yeah, there's vaccines out.

If they think the season will be delayed a month and Matip is out 2/3 months they won't spend a premium

Or even the threat of curtailment in March (ish) as if that happens the PL season won't get finished, no way are they moving the Euros again.

[chrisbonnie]

i wouldnt be against another delay in the season, it served utd well this year when Rashford was injured and was able to get back and help them get top 4.

 

Who'd really cry if it got delayed for 8 weeks then before we know it, Van Dijk is back in contention......

[Daisy]

The way things are looking, a break is the only thing that will give us a chance

Just sign the Portuguese cunt from Olympiakos who has a bunch of convictions to his name. I bet we could get a discount on him. 

[an tha]

Utterly shite that the best team we have had in over 30 years has come around at this poxy fucking time, when we can't go and watch them and their seasons are being fucked up.

 

Such a shame to see this teams prime years be played out in this climate.

 

Yes i know it is 'only football' and other things like public health are obviously more important, but it isn't 'only football' is it, it matters to us all a lot and its a massive bastard shame this incredible team has to exist in this shite time - who knows when if ever we'll see its like again.

Fofana for anything less than 80 million looks a brilliant deal.

 

But Leicester probably arent interested and we’re probably not willing or able to spend money like that.

[Harry Squatter]

Sign a fucking centre back and stop these cunts catching us up.

Not even sure we would be able to get him. He'd be lucky to get a work permit, European players need one now don't they? 

[chrisbonnie]

there's a chap on twitter (i know, i know) thats fairly bang on at times and he's just tweeted we're looking at some lad called David Carmo from Braga.

 

Never heard of the cunt, but he's a lanky bugger, and from youtube clips, seems to be able to ping a decent cross field ball and looks fairly quick to
