In other news, it sounds like we want Konate from RBL in the summer. Has a £35m release clause, but again, has had injury issues. 

Leipzig have a very good chance of progressing in the CL against a team with no CBs.  

To ask them to sell us their best one isn't going to make their fans very happy.

Yeah, it would be a very typical trick from our lot. And I fear you're right too, if I'm honest I've been a bit drawn in these last 24 hours with my desperation to see us get someone, but my head tells me it's not serious and it's just a typical play to get the fan boys with a "they tried" bullshit.

I don't disagree Joey. I'm not convinced Philipps could even make it in the championship. But Williams is even less prepared for this level, so I'm trying to see a way that keeps him out of the team. Henderson's injury record shows us he won't be playing every match till the season is over and as things stand right now I can't believe we won't see a Williams Philipps partnership at some point down the line. 


I think we agree. Williams and Phllips as a pairing would be a complete disaster. And if we have to play one of them, which it seems we will for a number of games the rest of this season, then Phillips alongside a quicker and more agile player is probably the best option, even if it’s not good enough.

We won't be able to have it all at this point anyway. If it's between old free agent, or someone like Diop who at least has good traits and some potential, it's an easy decision if the deal is reasonable.


I’d go for both.

Even agreeing to pay 20ml for Diop there's little doubt you could sell him on again for £15ml or so in a years time if he isn't good enough to be 4th choice. 

If we are looking at Konaté then Gomez place must be at risk at least to a point. 

 

Diop looked OK at West Ham and has the height and pace needed to push up play a high line and recover. If he's good enough to do that is another question.

What, both of them?

 

Not saying they'll sell us a centre back tomorrow, but that team exists solely to sell energy drinks.

Would he count as home grown because of his time at Everton? 

I checked this on the offal Premier League site yesterday - he is not registered as home grown.

 

He left Everton to join Sampdoria in January 2012, midway through his 3rd season, which is why he is not registered as home grown.

 

Had he have stayed at Everton for the full 3 seasons, he would have qualified as home grown.
