But come on, how much better are Tarkowski/Aké going to be than Soyuncu/Benkovic? Is it really worth it to spend essentially £80 million (because we're throwing away the investments of Soyuncu and Benkovic if we don't give them the space to develop) for let's say a 30% improvement on starting position, when one of the two options we already own could potentially come in and grow into the role to the point where we don't need a Maguire replacement?

UniFox21 Posted 4 August 2019 Share Posted 4 August 2019 Can never tell if people are just taking words out of context to make it appear we want a new CB or if this was genuinely said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted 4 August 2019 Share Posted 4 August 2019 ss Starting the season with 4 CB's is a tad scary, an injury to Evans means we start with either two inexperienced lads or use a 35 year old Morgan. I guess it all comes down to Brendan's confidence level with the young guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we do need one more, though I think we could be smarter than going after a permanent replacement this summer - we'll only get ripped off because everyone knows we're loaded and looking for a replacement CB. Perhaps we should bring in a decent CB on loan like we did with Dragovic then seek a young CB next summer? Or promote a youth player? I wondered about a potential loan. Arsenal have been linked with Rugani on loan and he'd fit the bill I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could also rest assured that they'd spunk the money on some championship shite and probably end up getting relegated hopefully. Ps. I dont like Burnley very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Ok, Ake and Tarkowski are non starters - so either shop in the continent or stick with the two "replacements" we bought last Summer. Its all good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows the club and would be a great pairing with Evans. I said this, but it didn't go down well! I liked him, he worked well for us I thought. Even another loan deal would be great, just to give Lord F and Benko a year to settle in. Get his buddy Fuchs on the phone to try and undo some of the damage that Claude did with him...

Scotch Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 If we have our heart set on a defender, we should be going all out for Jonathan Tah. Not saying he would come but for a reported £22m release clause on a 23 year old German international.... We should be having the conversation with him.
