I dont want us spending any more than 30m on a CB there is plenty out there that can give our current setup competition.

 

Ruban Diaz from benfica 25-30m

Retsos from BLeverkusen 25-30m

Upmecano RB Leipzig 25-30m

 

All of those have release clauses of around 40-50m. It's going to be very difficult to get a decent cb for less than 30 that can have an instant impact

If you spend over 25m on a player regardless he has to start every game.

 

Now I'm happy for that to happen but we have the best defence in the league or one of.

 

Let's say we get him in who do we risk on losing there spot

Evans?? Not a chance.

Soyunchu. Hes not as good as Soyunchu.

 

Go back in the summer and try and get him cheaper or dont bother with him

And if Cags or Evans gets injured at the end of January then what? We've got Wes who's out for over a month, and Benko who has injury and fitness issues. Are we going to have to use Fuchs as our starting CB at some point? Is it worth the risk to save a few million when it could end up costing us a champions league place. Demiral will be a signing we ease into the side this season, occasionally using him when we need three at the back or we are seeing out a lead. Over the next season or two he'll become a regular and if we have Europe he will easily get 25 games a season.

Rob Tanner challenged the accepted wisdom in today’s Athletic:

 

- No bid for Demiral made yet.  The Morgan and Benkovic injuries may force our hand.  Both are are expected to be out for several weeks at least.  A January bid for the likes of Dunk or Tarkowski is unlikely, for obvious cost reasons.

 

- With cover in mind, both Morgan and Fuchs are set to be offered new one-year extensions.  But Wes has been taking academic business qualifications to aid his ventures outside of the game. He is expected to move into business ventures rather than coaching.

There are 2 or three things to think about here.

We will be in Europe & will need four very good CB's to do that .

We are one injury away from big trouble & two injuries away from a full blown disaster 

Jonny Evans is 32 years old and there will come a time ..

25 Mill plus is no longer big money especially when three years from now top class  CB's will start at a hun.

Better to buy one good one instead of one average one and then having to buy a good one later on

Thought Wilf could play centre back at a push? I am aware this would nullify the fantastic job he does in front of the back 4, but if needs be he would probably do a good a job as Fuchs. However, surely it's got to be time to invest. There is a shed load of money to be spent from the Maguire deal and it would be worth investing in a quality centre back, to bed in before European football next year.

Wasn’t that long ago people were crying out for Big Dan as a CB too. Also what about Knight or Moore? Could they cover at a pinch?

 

I do think we need another top class CB though, that and really, really top quality winger

Obligatory youtube showreel

The first thing that impressed me with this video was his ability of bringing the ball out from the back. We know this is something Rodgers loves from his centre backs especially against teams that sit back. 
 

6 ft 3, appears quick for a centre back, good in the air, 21 years old & can bring the ball out from the back. I’m all for it personally.

 

Another interesting fact, across turkeys 10 European championship qualifications they only conceded 2 goals. I’m not sure how many of them games were with Demiral & Cags as a pairing but impressive still.

 

Hopefully once we sign Demiral, him & Cags can help convince Cengiz Under to sign too. :thumbup:

From a Juventus fan:

 

Anything above 50 million euros is a fair price for us (not for who buys him) but we have no intention or need to sell him so he’s not going anywhere.
Nonetheless, it’s fun seeing people in the thread saying he’s as good as Ajax de Ligt when he hasn’t been as good as Juve de Ligt. His positioning is dreadful, and if he wasn’t exceptional from an athletic POV (really fast and great stamina) it would be impossible for him to start in anything but a low to mid table side. I wouldn’t pay more than what we paid for him to Sassuolo, but his potential is undoubtedly exceptional.

I think in pure terms of defensive ability (tackling, marking etc.) he’s not far off great players like Skriniar, but Skriniar’s positioning is infinitely better. I wouldn’t play Demiral in an high line for sure, a thing I can’t say for De Ligt or Bonucci.

 

I think he’s easily a champions league level player in terms of pure defensive ability, but his positioning lets him down so much it’s not even funny. He gets a lot of important tackles but if you actually watch the matches 90% of them are him getting ****ed by a through ball due to his poor positioning and having to run back and tackle the opposing striker. He’s great at it, but if that ball goes to someone with more pace than him then it’s a 1v1 with the keeper.

His positioning is something Kolo can sort out.... similar to what he did with Cags.

The same Diaz they was commanding close to £50m for last summer let alone in the January window?

Arsenal fans worried after Leicester City bid for Merih Demiral

Arsenal fans are urging Raul Sanllehi to make a bid for Juventus defender Merih Demiral quickly, as it has emerged that Leicester City are in for the centre-back.

 

Arsenal are in desperate need of a new centre-back, with their defence looking shaky this season.

And Gunners fans are worried that Leicester could secure the signing of Demiral ahead of them, as they feel he would be perfect for their side.

 

Demiral has only had limited game time at Juve this term, but the Turkish defender is considered to be a huge talent.

The 21-year-old still should have his best years ahead of him, and he could be a smart addition for Mikel Arteta’s side to make.

Arsenal simply cannot rely on their current options at centre-back, especially with Calum Chambers out for the rest of the season with injury now.

Leicester are currently 18 points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League table and the gap could widen, if the Foxes make the signing of Demiral.  

 

The Twitter comments are bit funny in the link :P

LoL same juve fans said nothing to De Ligt for his 4485484848 horrible mistakes per game. Because of De Ligt  juventus almost lose napoli game from 3-0 lead

he make so many funny mistakes,gave penalties away ıf merih did this things juve fans would execute him. There is double standard  hypocrisy from juventus fans.

because they paid 85 m € for De Ligt they said he is young he can learn we should show patience to him. Merih is young too but ım sure ıf he make a mistake then they will said bad things about him

 

Merih is great player and he is still young and unfinished product he will ımprove his abilities.

 

Juventus fans dont know anything they should worry about De Ligt and Bonucci first. De Ligt error prone and he have superstar manager and PR machine behind him he isnt even worth for 40 m € let alone 85 m €

Bonucci ''Experienced'' player but in games Merih covered his area and his mistakes so many times ıf you watch the games you can see this

Merih is 11 years younger than Bonucci btw but playing more good than him. And being good on the ball doesnt mean they are good defenders but people confuse this so many times.

 

Anyway Im Turkish and Galatasaray fan but after Caglar playing regularly for Leicester ı start watching your games and after that ı love this club

because Leicester playing positive football, Leicester are so enjoyable to watch  and from outside this club looks like a family. Thats why ı love this club.

 

Demiral would be a great signing for Leicester ı hope this transfer will become true.

 

And there are rumours for Hakan Calhanoglu from Milan ımo he isnt good player  he can be only back up at best

 

My english not so good ı hope yall can understand what ı mean.

Starts for Juve today against Cagliari in Serie A. Imagine this is very unlikely now.

 the mood music seems wrong for us on this deal ……….. having said that, we kept playing harry preseason whilst we waited for yanited to meet our valuation ……. maybe the fact he is playing increases the chances that juve will sell and they are showing how hard they intend to play it - meet our valuation or eff off
